Sooo, I joined today and I have no idea how this thing works lol.... I feel like an old bumbling fool - No comments needed haha - so any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. So if you do have pinterest I have a couple of questions for you..

How often do you use it?
What do you use it for?
How long have you been using it?
 
I've been on Pinterest for a few years. I used it when I was planning my wedding and then I realised how dangerous it can be! 😛 The problem is, everything looks so perfect on Pinterest. But trying to find stuff in real life that you found on Pinterest isn't easy, even if they link to the store, because living in the UK a lot of the stuff was abroad and would cost a fortune to ship over.

I also use it to fancast my stories, which helps me visualise the characters.

Honestly, I don't use it so much nowadays. I have a fantastic crush board though, and they email me pictures of Tom Hiddleston to pin on it. So yeah, that's pretty cool. 😉
 
Me! Me!

I love pinterest! I use it sometime like a search engine sometimes just to fill time. I've had it several years now, and I use it less than I did but still I'm on it most days! It's great for finding new things and very very good at making me procrastinate!
 
I tried using it. Didn't really get it, or what was the point of it, or what I'm supposed to use it for... *joins Nix's club for old bumbling fools* 🙂

I have Pinterest but I don't use it often simply because there is SO MUCH CONTENT to wade through. It seems awesome for creative ideas and inspiration but I don't have the patience to look through all the junk to find the good stuff.
 
I don't use it as much as I use to too. I would look up memes about geek related stuff. lol. I even posted a Buffy meme on there. lol. Mostly I use it now when looking up food recipes, or DIY crafts. I also use it to look up fitness stuff. Not that I use it, like I should. lol. But Pinterest can be fun, some people are super into it and have like Pinterest groups and stuff. It's not hard to use. Browse and click the heart button. You can download the Pin button and when you see something online you can click the Pin button and add it to Pinterest.
 
I mainly use it for finding patterns for knitting and crocheting. And it keeps them all nice, on one board for me to go through, instead of a million different websites.

I have a ton of boards though. I have a few for sheet music for various instruments. Umm. Art stuff. Writing tips. I have a board that is all inspiration for my main story I'm working on. So when I need a pick me up or some motivation I can go look at the pretties and get inspired. It works sometimes.

I remember it taking me a while to get into it though. My aunt showed me how to do it at work one day.

I'm not sure how long I've been using it. A while though.
