Now you can find me

I've had some requests/questions about how to find me on various sites. Especially Pinterest. Does anyone else thinks it's sort of tricky to find a specific person you are looking to follow? Maybe I haven't found the "easy" button for that yet. ;)

But now you should be able to find all the linky info you want on my blogs right sidebar. Thanks to LeeLou blogs for the free social media buttons! Just click on the site you want and it should take you to my profile page! 

(and yes I made the arrow extra big so everyone could see it)

I am a Pin head.......with pinterest

Have you heard of Pinterest? I am absolutely in love with it. It's a way to "pin" photos, projects, etc on a virtual bulletin board for later. AND see what others are pinning. You can repin, or pin something while blog hopping or shopping, etc.  It's very addicting and before you know it, time has quickly gone by. So I have had to set limits :)

For me it's a "file box" of ideas, colors, inspiration, a sugar rush for my eyes. 

I recently came across some amazing photos were maps were used (a love of mine). How could I not share? 

Enjoy!
