I guess Pinterest is getting a new look....

Okay, I have to admit it, I am a creature of habit. I have a hard time with change. I have turned into the person that I swore at 19 I would never be.... I'm only 32 and I'm already in love with routine. Maybe it's because I'm a Mom.... I don't know, but none the less, change disrupts me sometimes! LOL. 

WELL, Pinterest is changing their look. I decided I would take a peek with the "preview" button they have. I then made sure I could switch back if I had to.... Yes, a symptom of being a creature of habit :)

So this is a quick overview of what I noticed that was immediately different.... I am missing
some other minor details, but I couldn't get a screen shot of it because when I went to hit the snipping tool button, the drop down box menu would go away! LOL

So I went and looked at the topic DIY and Crafts. This is the new look.... 




The first thing I noticed was that the pin pictures were MUCH larger! 

And when you hover over a picture this is what you see in the upper left corner...


Then when you go to repin, the look is different too.... 


Another thing that I did like, was I thought the boards were really nice... 
There's an easy way on the upper left to create a new board and I like the way the other boards look. And you can still change the cover photo and reposition it too! I thought that was neat. 


And this is what it looks like when you go to change your cover.... 


SO I picked my bunnies and I repositioned the photo of the tags so it sits nicely in the box... 



And another thing I liked is that you can "see your pin" without actually going to a new page... 


Sooooooooooooo.....
if you want to try it, on the left you will see a "Preview Button" click on it... 


And if you decide you don't like it, you can always switch back.... 
On the top right, under your name is a drop down menu...
Hover over it, let it drop down and then click on "Switch to the Old Look"





Have you tried it yet? What do you think? NO NASTY comments! HAHAHHAHA...

Good Sunday Morning! It's that wonderful time again... Sunday! Time for  coupons, freebies and of course pinterest love! 
Here's this weeks coupons... 

Joann will have the coupons sent to your phone.... However, I personally dislike cell phones and do not own one. However, it seems more and more that I really need to get one. I do technically have one. It's been dead on the bottom of my purse since the last time I switched purses, lol. I'm a SAHM and work from home for my website and etsy shop, so really, if you can't reach me at home, I'm probably with you, lol.



And now the awesome ideas that I have discovered and been inspired by on Pinterest.....
