Ever Find Something Pinteresting?

Over the past few months I have found some great websites that highlight the creative, innovative works of people from all across the world. The first site was Etsy and the only reason I came across this interesting site was because a friend from high school sent an invite to her online store to her friends on Facebook.  Etsy is a marketplace were artists, creators, collectors, thinkers, and doers showcase their artwork and products. You can find anything from books to furniture, pottery to needlecrafts on this site. If you have not visited this site yet, I highly suggest that you take a minute or two to explore the amazing creations... I guarantee that you will come back daily to see what new items have been posted and also bookmark items for your "wish list".

This original acrylic painting by Tim Lam can be purchased on Etsy --- Just follow the link for more details! There are so many amazing products on this site...I know that my wish list keeps growing and I have found a ton of  great gift ideas for family and friends for the holiday season! 

Now, if you are not familiar with the next site, you are probably wondering why the heck I spelled interesting wrong in the title of this blog post... because I didn't! Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger, Breanna, she now has me hooked on pinning! Pinterest is an online community that connects people all over the globe through the "things" we find interesting. Once a member of Pinterst, one can organize and share all the creative, innovative things one finds on the world-wide web from yummy recipes to decorating ideas by pinning to a 'board'. Members can browse pin boards created by other people and by doing so, one will discover new things and perhaps gain inspiration to go out and try a new crafting project or even find bulletin board ideas for the classroom. I know that after only two days of being a member of Pinterst, I have created nine boards ranging from Artistic Visions to Celebrating Others and have pinned over 80 interesting, creative ideas! If you are interested in becoming a member, let me know, I would be happy to send you an invite! 

Now, to put all my "pinning" to good use... I can not wait to make this cute "almost no-sew" tote that I found on Pinteresting today... You can link up with Susan Harris' Blog and find the quick, easy directions to this very cute crafty idea! 

What will you find Pinteresting?
