There has been lots of discussion about Pinterest and copyright etc in the last few weeks. I'm ok with admitting, I'm a HUGE fan! I'm always discovering things on Pinterest and pinning to my hearts content from the World Wide Web.
On a positive side, I have discovered blogs that I didn't know about (seriously how many are there?) and have loved reading and learning new things. These are blogs that I now follow and enjoy every day.
On a negative, I hate when I find something during a search on Pinterest and it is just a photo with no link to the original source or the blog/website not linked. So please make sure you do this properly so we can find out 'how to'!
I was thinking about all my pins, (how much time I waste te he he) and what I have been making. I thought I would share a few that I have managed to make with my own versions where possible.
So not a complete time waster! For the record, I have sourced the original blog/website but you can find them on my
Pinterest page too!

My version modeled by my cute nephew (who was hard to keep still!) |
So you see, it can't be a complete waste of time if I have managed to create all these wonderful things. Right?
I love Pinterest and am glad it's around, as long as people are respectful of the source and link back I think it can be a great way to share and discover!
