Pinterest Interest

I completed Things 13 though 15 last week but forgot to blog.  I have used Pinterest as a resource for craft ideas but had never registered before so that was good.  I created a few Pinterest boards which will be helpful for story time programming and I am following a few people who seem to have interesting ideas. 
We have a few ideas of our own as you can see from this colorful guy.

Hurdle the Wordle

Thing 12 is creating a word cloud. Hear the thunderous applause as with lightning speed, I hurdle the Wordle!

 

This should not have been so difficult.  Making the word cloud was simple but actually getting it in my blog was extremely frustrating!  Just saying-I doubt I could ever do it the same way again.  Thanks Kate.

Today I shall attempt 'thing 11'.  It is all about images.  Can I add an image to this post?  We shall soon see.   What do you think of this little guy?  Getting up at 6 a.m. to shovel on Saturday morning before I have to walk to work can leave me feeling a bit prickly so I figure he is in good company!

Seeing 'Vision' With New Eyes

I made my first list on bibliocommons a few days ago!  Now this is one tool that I find convenient.  I can think of many uses for this service.  I am sorry that I didn't take the time to try it sooner.  Thank you NB23 for giving me the incentive.

I walked to work this morning and I must say it was refreshing after another storm.  Is it just me or has this been a looong winter?  On days like this, we may or may not have anyone show up for
Story Time but we still have to be prepared.  Valentine's Day and we're all ready-come on in.

Twit, Tweet, Twat

I just tweeted for the first time!  What an interesting concept.  I personally will probably not have much use for this form of communication-just saying, but I can see where others might find it useful.

On another note-I must say we are enjoying the increase in our staff count these days.  Sorry L.P.Fisher but isn't it good to know that some good is coming from your inconvenience?
