A PINTEREST 4TH OF JULY

Hello,

As I have mentioned before, I love Pinterest!

Pinterest is a wonderful vehicle for finding inspiration and then being able to easily and quickly file it away for future reference.

Before Pinterest I was a magazine hoarder.  I’d rip out pages for inspiration and then spend hours fileing the tear sheets.  I love that I can do all of that electronically now.

One can find anything and everything on Pinterest.  Pinterest comes in especially handy during the holidays, as inspiration for every festivity abounds. I have a Pinterest Page for every holiday, including the 4th of July.

And, since Independance Day is around the corner I thought I’d share a little Pinterest Love with you’all by posting some of my favorite finds for the fourth.
