# Pin it Forward UK...................

Today my blog post is all about Pinterest. I was contacted in April by Veronique Conrad, a Community Coordinator at Pinterest. Veronique said she enjoyed visiting my blog and invited me to attend the very first Pinterest meet up in the UK. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the meeting in London but was very excited when Veronique said she would still love to feature my blog and I was asked to take part in the launch of  #Pin it Forward UK- how amazing.......................... 

                                                     

                                                              

Pinterest are introducing a new registration process for UK pinner's. The campaign is similar to the one used when they started up in the US. Bloggers were some of the first people to introduce Pinterest to the world and Pinterest hope the same thing will happen across the UK.

#Pin it Forward wanted to work with bloggers who currently use Pinterest and showcase one of their own favourite boards – my favourite board is "knitting, crochet and my blog" where I pin images from my blog and also images from other people’s blogs – images I love, projects I want to try, or just images I want to remember.

a few of my boards.......................

The launch is running for 30 days and 300 bloggers from the UK have been chosen to share boards and stories about what inspires them about Pinterest. All sorts of bloggers from crafters, home cooks, to globe-trotting writers and more have been chosen - no matter what you’re interested in Pinterest will have inspiring images that will be perfect for you.

I haven't been registered for very long but I have found it a fabulous vehicle for creativity, I love Pinterest for helping me keep my images organised and easy to find. I have boards that I use to separate my different blog post themes, I post weekly on a yarn along link up, 52 weeks of happy link up and many more. I also have a board for special holiday images, for me it works brilliantly. Once you have registered it's very simple to use  - if you see an image you like on a blog, or a website, or anywhere, you just click it and the image is saved onto any board you have set up. If you would like to register with Pinterest click here if you would like to follow my boards click here
