Paying Attention to Where You Pin

I am a Pinterest addict. And also, a little bit of a Pinterest snob. I tend to judge when someone makes a pinning taboo, or just seems to not know what they are doing. For example, under the header 'home décor', someone pinned this:
Deviled Cucumbers
I suppose you could be 'decoring' the inside of your stomach, but chances are you aren't going to put that up on a shelf or in your home-made coffee table 

In the same respect, this was under 'food and drink'
This girl has tried it all! The best products and tips for a natural looking sunless tan.
Sorry, I'm not a cannibal. I'm not into eating people, especially with fake tanning lotion on them. 


Under 'humour'
Now scarf
HA! you tie that bow so funny. I'm gonna pin it with my someecards and cat picutres for the next time I'm having a bad day.  

I sometimes am guilty of pinning something in the wrong category, but being as anal as I am, I'm usually going through my boards on a daily basis to make sure everything is where it should be for my peace of mind. I like to try things on there as well, see how they work out, and if they are no good for me, delete them and move on to the next great thing. For example, I've done this:
Shot basket
Under the heading of 'other' I might add

And it turned out great! I would do it again and again for gifts. Mine wasn't as fancy, but I got the jist of it and it came out cute, and the bottles stayed upright. 

I'm planning on using this blog as a venting place for problems I have with certain pins(or the pinners themselves), and where I've tested and tried things that have worked, and have not. 

Happy pinning people! Remember, we're watching you, and probably judging.
