I believe a person's attention span on Pinterest is about as long as the picture they are looking at is interesting or pretty to them. The prettier the picture, the more likely they are to repin... at the drop of a hat... without really looking at the original source, much less writing original comments regarding the pin. I realized just the other day, that many people on Pinterest will pin & repin stuff they have no intention of going to, decorating with, cooking or crafting.
I decided instead of just pinning and repinning the fabulous things I saw on Pinterest, I would actually try the recipes to make sure they are what they seem. Are they "doable"? Are they "the most fantastic
insert-food-item-here that you'll ever taste!" I would try the DIY crafts to see if you actually CAN do it yourself. Do they turn out picture perfect like the original pin? I'm here to test the pins I have the urge to repin!
Today I decided to try a recipe from an old HS friend who repinned from Pinterest user
Lynn Reed. I want to give her the credit for this recipe. When you click the image through you only get a blank page so I suppose that means orginal pinner Lynn gets the credit for this recipe. Let's see how it turns out!
