Do any of you belong, or have you seen Pinterest.com?

It is one of the coolest. sites. EVER.

It's basically just a site where you can collect ideas of things you've seen online that you want to remember/buy/make, etc. I have countless photos or websites that I've copied and pasted to various folders on my computer, only to lose them, forget about them, etc.

This site allows you to create categories to store all the items you pin... like, say, a DIY category to store all the DIY projects you want to try, or an Art category to store art you like, etc. It can be anything... you can make up your own categories.

Well, I'm addicted. There are SOOOOOOO many cool things and ideas on there, that I am now COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with ideas for things I NEED TO MAKE!

Do you get overwhelmed by project ideas? Do you ever actually get around to working on any of them? As soon as my wedding is over, I am absolutely going to start on some of my projects...

I do! I got an idea from a scrapbooking class - make a note of each project you want to make on a popsicle stick. Put all the sticks in a jar. When you're in the mood to create, grab a stick and do that project. When the jar gets full, stop looking at Pinterest for a bit. ;)

L., Whyyyy oh whyyy have you introduced another site for m to get lost in?!! LOL.
I really like Etsy.com, and yes, I do have a file of ideas that inspire me. I am a lot slower on completing them than I would like to be, but I have made an effort this year. Last weekend I bought some awesome Japanese fabric and made new pillows for my couch, spray painted a chair I got at a thrift store and did a simple painting for my bathroom. My sister in law and I decided we need a monthly craft night so we can actually work on our projects.
