I hate multiple pinners of the same thing because if I didn't want to see it the first time I won't want to see it the 10th time either.

I want to create relationships with those who I follow and who follow me. I want to find commonalities, enjoyment, creativity and fun.

I use it to socialize and talk with friends. I have secret boards where we actually have planning meetings. I originally started just to use it as a place to save recipes and ideas instead of bookmarking everything to my computer. You are exactly right. I pin what I want, where I want, whenever I want and as many times as I want!Wendys Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340859628723331599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-55549359566097635302015-09-02T08:54:29.586+08:002015-09-02T08:54:29.586+08:00I don't go back to most of mine either Sherry ...I don't go back to most of mine either Sherry - but I just love how relaxing it is and that's why I think I'm allowed to cut myself some slack and ignore the business advice and just have funLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-56069473947057338412015-09-02T08:53:38.248+08:002015-09-02T08:53:38.248+08:00thanks Vidya - I'm looking forward to meeting ...thanks Vidya - I'm looking forward to meeting more of you on Write Tribe over September too :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-38554953874295001262015-09-02T08:52:59.743+08:002015-09-02T08:52:59.743+08:00that just made me smile Jennifer :)that just made me smile Jennifer :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-24692058572320483382015-09-02T08:52:38.621+08:002015-09-02T08:52:38.621+08:00Thanks LuAnn!
