It helped me organize recipes and keep track of things I cooked. Gave holiday crafty inspiration and kept a running wish list for home decor. I filed away useful household tips, won a vacation (check out the mention on Mashable here), collected things in Tangerine Tango, filled up a read and to-read bookshelf, and documented my infinite search for the perfect hair style. Pinterest let me laugh a little, reflect, and dream of fancy life and far away places. There are gift ideas and unattainable wants, planning and ideas, stuff I love, and even stuff I don't know what to do with!
I wouldn't say I was pin-happy or even an over-pinner, but choosing the best of the best was quite an exhausting year end task. Here they are in no particular order, my most useful pins of the year:
It seriously works:
Makes your house smell yummy
When pestilence strikes
The #JetsetterCurator winning announcement tweet
And the one that secured my free trip!
Style inspiration
Celebration treats we actually made
Useful for weaning off coffee
Recipes worth repeating
Mexican
Easy crafty fun I could actually do
and these
On the theme of easy...a pop of pattern for the kitchen
Made one of these for neighbors
And saved cans all summer to make these lights.
But my first Pinterest craft of 2012 was this in red and heart shaped!
