Have you joined Pinterest yet?
Pinterest is the most wonderful time-suck in the world. Seriously, this is even more addictive than following your friends on facebook, twitter, linkedIn and google+ combined! But, let me tell you, it is soooo much better. This is a one stop shop for everything including ideas for food, sewing, education, holidays, and even music therapy!
You can read a bit about Pinterest for the Music Therapist over at Music Therapy Tween (although I find her thoughts easily transfered to other professions and interests as well).
I’ve created several boards that I think you, my readers, will be interested in. Here are a few:

Do you have some boards that I should follow? I’m always looking to learn a little something new! Leave a comment below with a link to your board. Happy Pinning!
Meryl! I’m so glad you posted about Pinterest!! I agree – I think SO many professionals, parents, crafters, etc. can benefit from this explosion of ideas that are at click of a button! I truly love that it’s visual, interactive, and that you can organize your thoughts and “pins” on separate “boards”, keeping things less messy and easier to find.
As requested, here are a few links to my Pinterest boards and I’d LOVE to hear from others who are using this FABULOUS resource!!! Please leave a comment on Meryl’s post with your Pinterest name/link so I can follow you :).

Oh, and here are my thoughts on Pinterest (a little outdated…this is from back in August…) I’ve stepped up the addiction alert level to, like, the RED ZONE since then 😉
