My confession for today is that I am a magnet person. I attribute it to my love of list making and my being a visual thinker. My refridgerator is always full of magnets pinning things. Things like the grocery list, Nicholas' art, Seans' art, lottery tickets waiting for draws, recipes, recycling guidelines... you get it.... I need a bigger 'fridge! Sometimes, I wish my 'fridge was the whole wall. In fact, I like bulletin boards so much that I made one for above the desk in the sunroom to hang on a wall that had a magnetic strip painted its entire length. A bulletin board was the first thing I put up on the wall when I finally had a whole room to dedicate to my sewing machine and papercrafts. Fabric pieces were immediately pinned up on it. I am the kind of person who tears pages out of magazines and puts them on my bulletin board before passing the magazine on. Judy curses me for that, I am sure.
Bulletin boards can be sloppy. Especially when you jam pack them full of stuff because looking at it is as good as doing it when you are a visual thinker. Looking at it makes you think.

Pinterest. My new obsession. I joined last weekend and have spent at least a few minutes a day (and more than a few minutes most days) there since. I love it. It is like having an endless bulletin board that you can categorize. All my bulletins are organized on my big bulletin board there. What a wonderful thing! It is a never ending pin board that can hold everything I could ever want to pin -
neatly!
