To Pinterest or Not To Pinterest...for Small Businesses

An interesting flow chart on whether or not to use Pinterest as a small business.
I like Pinterest. It works for me...and not only using it for Release Me Creations, but to create crafty, inspirational boards as well. I actually only have one board dedicated to my jewelry, and the rest are just for my own enjoyment. But it might not be the place for all small businesses to market their wares.
This infographic gives a good map to follow to find out if it is a good marketing platform for them.
Does Pinterest work for you?

Pinterest Challenge August 2011

Have you heard about The Pinterest Challenge?
I have had a love affair with Pinterest for some time now, but I have only just discovered The Pinterest Challenge.  How was I left out of this loop?
No worries, as I am now on the challenge train as I plan to enter


The challenge is actually hosted by four different blogs.

Better Life Bags
I'm So Topsy Turvy
Honeybear Lane
Happy Go Lucky

and each blog represents a different category.
The categories are
Home Decor,
Sewing,
Recipes, or
General Craft

For the challenge I plan on doing some DIY shelving.  There is a wall space in our living room that is in need of something.  I'm pretty sure that something is some unique shelves. 
So here my current Pinspirations:

STAY TUNED TO SEE WHAT I DO!!

 Okay, confession time.

I am addicted to

There, I said it.  

What is Pinterest you ask?  

Ummm, how about:  Pinterest is a bottomless abyss of amazingness.  

All kidding aside, 

Pinterest is like your very own personal inspiration board, 

where you can "pin" anything and everything you love, 

and then share those things with the rest of the Pinterest community. 

These are screenshots from some of my boards:

 

And here are a few close-ups.  You can click on any of them to go to their Pin Board home. 

 

 

I almost cannot stop listing them!  To see more, just head to my Pin Boards.  You can click on any of the above pictures to go there.  The origin of all of the above pictures is there as well.  

If you are interested in Pinterest, just send me a message so I can get an invite out to you!

Alright everyone, start pinning!
