Fab 5: Pinterest Peeps

I remember the first time I heard about Pinterest. I saw it on a friends facebook page - last May (2011) and she said "Oh my gosh, I'm so addicted to Pinterest..." Blah blah blah, or something like that. I thought "Oh, another silly/pointless thing on the internet. No need to waste time with that." 

A week or so later, I checked it out anyways. And, at this point, I still thought "this is pointless. It's at time waster." Boy was I right - AND WRONG! 

As an artist/creative person/wife who cooks etc, Pinterest has become a go to resource for me for so many things. Need recipes for a party? Pinterest. Ideas for home decor? Pinterest. Need a place to store and share ideas with a client? Pinterest. Even teaching, I had a board for my students to look at for inspiration. 

I don't mean to sound like billboard for Pinterest, but I can't help it. And despite the "issues" that have arisen over improper use (mainly discredit to original sources), Pinterest continues to be my #1 go-to for inspiration and ideas. 

So without further ado, here are my Fab 5 Pinners for you to follow, in random order of course:
