Do you use Pinterest and save pins for the future to make, bake or copy decor? Do you ever do them or forget you saved the pins? I have been cleaning out a lot of mine. I'm finding things I've saved scratching my head to why I even wanted to. Some I had good intentions like pallet furniture or healthy recipes but why would I save a cake made to look like a beer or a hair style I would never do? I can't believe I've had over 5,000 pins. I think I'm down to just over 2,000 and about 111 boards. I'll be busy with deleting over the next few days.

I don't really understand Pinterest but a lot of people love it so that's good.

When it first came out I didn't care much for it and then I used it more and more and before long I was hooked. I've slowed down and got my brain back some but it's still a neat site to store some ideas for later. I just have to store realistic ideas from now on.

@JudyEv It can be. I was horrible with it for a long time so had to stop using it for awhile. Now I can go in every once in awhile.

I started off only pinning DYI and food items and now had to condense a lot of boards.

I have about 30 boards and thousands of pins. Looking on pinterest now I have made 339 recipes. I am a Pinterest junkie but it helps me keep things organized as to what I want to make, what I have made and liked and what I have made and didn't like. I also get lots of craft ideas etc.

@noni1959 awesome! I hope you find many you are happy with. I've liked about half the recipes I have made. It's so disappointing when you make something and the recipe is awful. Make you wonder if they even tasted it before sharing the recipe.

@shaggin I found an awesome French dip recipe for the insta pot and my son came over today and we made it. It was so delicious. I'm going to make some of the recipes I'm finding and in my "blues" board, I plan to find some pieces and mimic a few of the designs. Finally, after all this time I'm going to use the pins I have left.

Somehow I seem to be connected to it and I'm forever getting emails from the site but I mostly just delete them.

I'm the same way. When i go through them sometimes i think they are still cool and say I'll do them someday, but someday never comes. I kinda hoard them and can't get rid of them.

I used to go on Pinterest a lot before when I was doing "Squidoo". I still have a lot of good ideas there, but I never really use them. It is very addictive.

I go in spurts now after getting over the addiction when I first started.
