Remember Alice? When I was growing up, we had this amazing multi disc collection of Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I would listen to it over and over, and though I read the written works, the images conjured by those recordings, are so vivid, they still come flooding back. Alice is a well known literary heroine. Carroll’s words have become standards. “Wonderland” is used to refer to a fantastic, magical place. “Curiouser and curiouser” is a phrase we use to qualify a strange, odd or extraordinary event. And “down the rabbit hole” is used to describe an adventure into the unknown.

For the past several months, Pinterest has been my new adventure into the unknown. If you don’t know about Pinterest, you must visit the site http://pinterest.com/and request an invitation! It is truly an adventure! I often feel as if I’ve gone “down the rabbit hole” when I delve into the multiple layers of Pinterest. I find an image I like and click on it. It enlarges and shows the link to the site from which the image was posted.
I click on the link and I am on my way. I’ve had the greatest time exploring blogs and websites. The new discoveries I make and the places they take me are galvanizing my creativity. My love for design is a passion I’d neglected! And as a direct result, Margo and I have created Persnickety. Have you discovered Pinterest? I am having so much fun pinning. I try to come up with clever names for my boards... some people might not get it, but it's a blast for me.
