There are two very dangerous places on the internet.
Very, Very DANGEROUS.
You should stay far far away from these two very very dangerous places.
You should.
I should.
But I can't.
I'm talking about StumbleUpon and Pinterest.
I've literally wasted HOURS mindlessly clicking through and marking hundreds of things that I find interesting, would like to try, want to look at again, or just like.
HOURS!!!
DAYS!!!
One night after spending 3 hours pinning I felt totally disgusted with myself.
I decided to make a list.
Things I Love To DO:
1. Make pottery
2. Work on my Picture Calendar
3. Knit
4. Crochet
5. Draw
6. Make jewelry
7. Practice Piano
8. Read
9. Blog
10. Fix or mend something
11. Sew
12. Quilt
13. Organize something
14. Paint
15. Walk the dog
16. Bake something
17. Try a new recipe
18. Take photos
19. Carve something
20. Cross stitch
Time constructively spent creating the list: 5 minutes
Next time I spend more than 5 minutes on either danger zone (Pinterest or Stumbleupon), I'm going to break out my list and DO something!

What a great solution! I may have to do the same!
I think we all fall into this too often :)
I agree! I'm trying to do more "doing" and less looking, although it's fun to get inspired by those websites!
I'm SO hooked on Pintrest. Haven't been on the other one yet...better not just yet!
I'm a huge fan of Pintrest though. Yes, it can get addicting, but it's the best way I've found to get and organize ideas, any my house NEEDS ideas!!!
