Pinning Friday Favorites on Monday

Say it Rah-shay By Oct 31, 2011 1 Comment

So. I have been having some difficulty coming up with my Friday Favorites for reasons that I won’t write because they sound lame and read even lamer. I like the idea of Five for Friday/ Friday Favorites but noticed that its been a few weeks that Friday has slipped by without me posting.

And then I found Pinterest.

I was introduced to Pinterest at a workshop and signed up because someone sent me an invite and promptly forgot about it. Then my friend Brandi was sharing what she made as inspired by Pinterest and I spent several hours pinning and repinning things. Then, because I’m me, I thought that I should do something different with the pins instead of leaving them on my boards and saw a post that someone created about the pins they found and VOILA! a fresh take on Fridays was born. It’s like someone knew that there are times when one (me) just needs to see the overall picture and boom shaka laka I am hooked!

Now yes, yes, it is NOT not only no Friday, it is Monday and I’m sharing my pins? Well you all know, my blog, my rules and I am way too impatient to wait until Friday to share the pins that I found. Cause this is how I roll yo.

Seriously, here are the pins that I spent a good part of s(NO)wtober pinning and cause I think they are cool!

This week is a hodge podge of things that I just dig. Please to enjoy:

The idea of this calendar is perfect for work! Each week I could let people know what is going on in my section and I would be forced to get organized.

Why hadn’t I thought of this one?
Using a plastic dish drying rack to hold my files?
Oh yeah…because I have crap everywhere. Hiyo!
Seriously, depending on where you go 10 bucks (or more or less) and your desk no longer looks like papers and files just exploded all over it!

Sticky notes…a beautiful book and bang! Your to-do list can be made to appear oh so much more managable and the things to do can actually be tossed when done!

I know some adults (raises hand guiltily) that could benefit from this pin.

Again with trying to get “it” together! I love this board…I can see crochet hooks, all of those bleeping pencils the kid and I seem to have all neatly put where they belong.

I also like this one. I can see using this with The Bee as we collect all of the random things that seen to accumulate during the week.

Are you on Pinterest and have you started pinning? My worry (its me, yo!) is that I will spend so much time pinning that I won’t actually do the thing. Whatevs! I’m still going to go for it and be inspired.
What say you all?
Pinning all my hopes on fresh ideas,
