This digital pin board is mecca for collectors of all things and a place where time-suckage is a major side-effect, and, well let's just say that if I am having a bad day, there is nothing that a little bit of time spent pinning on Pinterest can't cure.
I even have boards for my daughters. We sit together on our iMac or with my iPad, pinning away our favorite things. Horses for Chloè of course, and for Annabel it's all things dance, Disney and animals.
Before the invention of Pinterest, I did my image collecting the old fashioned way. I cut them from magazines and pasted them in books. I didn't use just any old scrap book though, no way. I bought blank hardcover books from Borders.
That way my images would stand up to the test of time, which they have because my oldest book is going on ten years old and is still in perfect condition.
I still use these books for inspiration and I occasionally
paste images in them from old magazines and newspapers. But I don't think this will be happening for much longer because now with my iPad I can take my digital boards with me wherever I go, out shopping, visiting friends, travelling, wherever. It's a lot easier, less cumbersome and there's no more ruining my magazines or shards of papers from one end of the house to the other.
