I will blame my Sister in Law in the US for this particular addiction – she invited me to join Pinterest around 18 months ago, and from that moment on, I was pretty much hooked!<\/p>\n

Pinterest is a great way to bookmark websites, pictures, and ideas that you love, and keep them all in the same place by “pinning” them onto personal boards.\u00a0\u00a0 My boards are on lots of different subjects, not just on cooking (although I always find inspirational ideas here), and not just on art and\u00a0 photography (but there’s always someone’s work I love, and can aspire to own one day), and not just on ideas to keep Small People busy either (but trust me, there are a million and one ideas here to keep them occupied)…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plus if you don’t like the thought of the world and his wife viewing your stuff, there are now secret boards too where you can pin future confidential party ideas for example, or just the things you’re not sure you want anyone else knowing about, like this blogger’s Potential Husband Substitute board<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Perhaps the board I am most obsessed about however is my Travel Board, which I have\u00a0 named (albeit not that imaginatively)\u00a0 “Places I Love or Would Love to Visit”…\u00a0 It’s a big world out there, and if the tiny section of\u00a0it I have written about and photographed is helpful to others then that’s great… So it’s where I pin pictures (and quite often blog posts) of\u00a0the places I have particularly enjoyed visiting,\u00a0 then have the “favour returned” by collecting articles and pictures of those places that have been on my bucket list for years.\u00a0\u00a0 It definitely helps me gauge a feel for a place, and more often than not helps gets the wheels in motion when planning a trip.\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to all the beautiful images on Pinterest, it has often proved invaluable at the art of persuading my family that some potential places really are a good idea too, which is always a bonus…<\/p>\n

And one day, if and when we put our travels behind us, then I have this next board at the ready (yes it does contain a lot of Danish furniture –\u00a0 living just outside Copenhagen for a couple of years will do that to you!) – my Design Board\u00a0 –\u00a0 a place to pin all of the ideas I have for the big imaginary house that exists in my head, and where I one day envision us putting roots down…\u00a0\u00a0 Well I can dream can’t I?<\/p>\n

The Pin it Forward Campaign is made up of 300 UK bloggers, and tomorrow the baton is passed to Jen & Ben from Travelbllgr<\/a>.\u00a0 They have covered some amazing countries on their travels, including South America, India and New Zealand, and I am happy to make their acquaintance as it means I can continue to feed my wanderlust from their Pinterest Travel Boards too<\/a>…<\/p>\n

If you would like to follow me<\/a>, please feel free, I love finding new followers (although I warn you now, there’s no going back once you’re all joined up!). See you there?<\/p>\n
