pinterest

Instagram is my favorite social media site, and the only one I'm really active on (follow me here!). I will admit now that I mostly follow animals that live in Japan, but I also follow some creative people and find their photos very inspiring, inspiring enough that I want to pin the photo somewhere important on one of my Pinterest boards. I was very frustrated for a quite a while because I could not figure out how to do it. Then one day, I figured it out and my life has been so much better! I will share with you now my secret:

Running a site like this means that I should be up on social media. I think I manage to do an okay job running the DigitalScrapbook.com Facebook page, and when it comes to Twitter...well...I do my best. But my favorite place on the internet, current site excluded, is Pinterest. I just love the constant stream of ideas and jokes and delicious food. My life has certainly become much richer since I joined.

If you use a reader for blogs, you're probably well aware that Google Reader is closing soon, which caused a big flurry of action for everyone who was using it. I've pretty comfortably switched to using Feedly. And I just noticed a new feature, which I'm not sure is actually new, or if I was just snoozing. But I thought I'd point it out in case your in the same boat as me.

I wanted to make this post yesterday, but because of time zones, I didn't want to give away my Mother's Day gift before I actually gave it to my mom!

Gifts can be tricky is you're not around to do something in person, and you've already given your Mom 20 cards or so. So this year, after some brainstorming with my sister, we determined to give my mom a Pinterest board!

There has been lots of interest here of people wanting a wishlist system to keep track of the things they'd like to download. While we think this is an excellent idea that we are planning to implement directly on our site, it won't be happening for a little while yet. In the meantime, I thought it might be fun to have a little contest and help you keep track of all your dream downloads at the same time!
