Pinterest Tuesday-Week One!

Welcome to the first ever Pinterest Tuesday here on Our Country Road! I'm so glad that you stopped by!!!

Here's how Pinterest Tuesday works:

Choose your favorite recent blog post that you want others to read and 'pin.' Link your post below using the McLinky. Make sure that your post has pictures that can be pinned! G rated pins only, and one pin per blog, please! Please include the Pinterest Tuesday button in your post or sidebar.

Then come back and start pinning!!

If you have any other questions, email me, or read over this post to see if I've answered your question there.

This is our first link up, but I thought I'd feature a few things I pinned this week. I have been reading the Not Back To School Blog Hop over at Heart of the Matter Online. I found some great school rooms worth pinning!

Laine at It's Just Laine shared photos of her dining room/school room. I fell in love, and am hoping to use her room as inspiration for my kitchen re-do.

I started drooling when I saw all of the organizing boxes in the classroom/craft room that Vanessa at A Place to Roost posted.

Gina at Gina with Love showed her wonderful room, which is the perfect mix of color, fun, and organization. I love how simplistic and streamlined it is, while still having pocket charts and aprons.

And last but not least, Ms. Understood showed me the best way to organize the school 'stuff' is to simply not have it. I need to work on that!!

If any of you great ladies stops by, please feel free to add the following button to your blog:

Each week, I will pick a handful of my favorite pins to share, so check back to see if you were featured!!

I hope you all have a lot of fun! I look forward to seeing lots of things to pin!

God Bless and Happy Pinning!!!

*PS, to anyone that noticed, I am sorry for the 7000 attempts to put up this post, it was not playing nicely tonight!!

Pinterest Tuesday-Starts Tomorrow!!!

I have a confession to make. I have an addition. I spend time with my addiction when I should be eating. I lose sleep because I am indulging in my addiction. I have new hopes and goals for my future...all because of my addiction. What is this addiction? Well, that would be Pinterest.

Oh, what's that you say? You're addicted, too? You know what? I knew you were :). Pinterest is an awesome place to find great new ideas for your home, school, dinner table and more. What's not to love??

Another reason I am loving Pinterest is the amount of traffic it brings to my blog!! Someone reads something they love on my blog, they pin it {thank you!}, and in turn it brings other people over to my blog. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has written a blog post worth pinning-in fact many of you have ideas that are WAY more creative then me!! What? No one pinned it? We're going to fix that!

Here's how:

Here's your chance to showcase something fun you have done lately! You pick a blog post with your fun learning activity, craft, recipe, decoration, room redo, organizational display, etc, etc, etc. The blog post needs to have pictures (so we have something to pin!). Then, link it up here!! Each McLinky will last 1 week-from Tuesday to Monday night. I do ask that you choose just one post each week, and that it isnt one you have shared here before. And please, family friendly, G rated posts (my 5 year old can read!).

I have made up a button for this carnival, the code is here:

You can post it in the blog post you are sharing, or on your side bar in case you decide after the blog post is written you want to link up and you dont want to re-do the post.

I will highlight some of my favorite pins each week, so check back to see if you were featured! Most of all-HAVE FUN!!!

Happy Pinning and God Bless!
