Okay.. I admit it... I'm totally hooked

On Pinterest that is.... (Notice the button on the right)
I'd heard about Pinterest a few weeks back from Janet and I thought "That's nice." and immediately dismissed it as yet another time consumer. Then last week, for whatever reason, I decided to have a look and see what it's all about. Oh boy... I'm a dedicated pinner now!
What a great place to see all sorts of images... all the things that you like most... and pin your own images that other people may re-pin to their boards. It sounds rather simplistic and mundane.. at least it did to me at first, but once you get set up and start looking around it becomes a generally 'feel good' place where you're surrounded by all the eye candy you could possibly want to see and be inspired by.

My question is.. and this is part of the reason I resisted at first...

How in the world do you keep up with it all?! The last thing I needed or wanted was yet another site that would consume my time, yet I see so many familiar faces and know that they are on countless forums, twitter, facebook, linkedin, they're blogging, networking, shopping, selling, creating... How do you do it? Do you have everything tied into your iPhone/iPad and watch it all day long?

There must be a science or an art to keeping up with it all and if so I haven't a clue what it is. I just stop in occasionally and try to catch up, exercising a lot of discipline to get off and back in my studio.

So... I truly would love to know.... How do you keep up with it all???

Have a great weekend... pinning...

Best... Canace

F F F ! ! !

FORGOT FREEBIE FRIDAY!

I really do try to remember to upload something each Friday... really I do. You know how it is when you get working in the studio and the whole world just disappears.

So sorry...

This gorgeous little octopus is part of a Dover collection. I thought I'd do some variations of color for you to choose from.

Enjoy!
