to be pinned or not to be pinned?

this is a quilt booklet i found and then won/purchased on Ebay all because of the wonders of Pintrest....as i repinned an antique quilt pin, curious to find where it came from i was brought to the Ebay site and did a little browsing of mine own, came across what looks to be a great Crib Quilts book of a folk art/antique nature, put my bid in and won, see the wonders of Pintrest.....it brings us to all sorts of places on the internet, that maybe we haven't or don't go to that often....

i see Pintrest as a way to share our likes, recipes, jokes, wants with others....i look at my pinboards as my quilt books, recipe file, shopping/todo list and sometimes just because something speaks to me, i enjoy learning through others pins about history, art, travels, antiques, cooking, health and all sorts of needlework.....

i do pin what inspires me but not for the purpose of copying and i don't believe that is what is driving most pinners out there, i have purchased dolls, books, quilts, fabric and more because of seeing them on Pintrest....i have read a few blogs questioning the pinning of their photos and not being given credit, please give credit where credit is due and i can understand their concerns, personally i don't mind being pinned from my blog or website, that means you like what you see, want to share, please do so  giving credit me as the designer or whomever is.....

now if you don't want photos pinned from your blog here is a link to check out....  http://makingamark.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/pintrest-how-to-prevent-your-blogger.html

glitter ornaments.....

another Pintrest pin inspired these glitter ornaments, the original is a little house....changed mine to a tree shape first, then a simple circle....i did use old cards for one tree but found the scrapbook paper worked the best and added glittered edges, so pretty.....
