It probably started when I moved to Europe. I would spend a lot of time online communicating with my friends and family back in the States and of course online shopping to get comforts from home.
The funny thing is that when I returned home to the U.S. I spent an crazy amount of time buying beautiful baby clothes from Europe and wishing that Zara had online shopping. For me of course.
I always say that I quit my ‘real job’ over six years ago. You know that professional go to the office job that I used my degree for. The job that had me in meetings and flying this way and that way..but mostly in meetings and preparing Power Point presentations. Does Power Point still exist?
Since quitting that ‘real job’ – I now run an online consignment shop, I write, I dabble in photography, I shop, and have now been a clothing rep for nearly four years.
It seems that I’ve been working all along..and all of it is online. And all of it is visual. And beautiful.
And keeps me home. Where I like to be.
This visual working (and shopping if you must mention it) became even more beautiful when Pinterest came about and I became a full-fledged addict this Fall.
Do you see this beauty? I created this…by pinning all the beautiful things I like and shop for or want to do or want inspiration from or want to create.
It’s all there. It’s the ultimate visual marriage between companies and consumers.
And it’s the fastest growing social media platform on the web.
And I blame it all on Jessica from Four Plus an Angel for making sure I became addicted.
I’m glad she did..because as of today we have now joined forces and created our own social media consulting team based solely around Pinterest.
Today I could not be happier to say that our new venture, Pin Savvy Social, has launched. We will spotlight amazing companies and products in the weeks to come and give you all kinds of Pinterest-centered activities with lots of chances to win new products.

Congrats to you both!! This looks like a ton of fun and I am never adverse to anything that will feed my Pinterest addiction
Thank you – and thank you for your blog post that mentioned us. So nice. xo
Congrats, you! This? Is a perfect fit for the two of you! *So* exciting!
Thank you. But I guess she can’t be my sister-wife anymore since spouses usually don’t work well together. Are you available?
I’m all yours! xo
Pinterest was made FOR you Tracy. So happy for your new venture with Jessica!
Thank you! xoxo
I’m excited, b/c it’s you and Jess BUT I have no idea about Pinterest.
I wouldn’t say there’s no interest in pinterest, b/c I LOVE looking at things..
But I just don’t know what the heck I”m supposed to do??
Precisely where I am. I visited once and screamed my eyes!, and promptly clicked the red X. I haven’t been back. But now I’m being forced by the cute (and time-zapping) that will surely be Pin Savvy Social. Dammit.
Tracy, so very happy for you and Jessica.
Tutorials coming…
Whoo-hoo & congrats on the new venture! I hope it is wildly successful! Totally love Pinterest here & always welcome m
Darn phone, posted my comment mid-sentence!
Anyway, I always welcome more ways to make Pinterest useful!
Congrats! This will be a great venture.
Who knew our late night phone conversations would turn into this. So glad that they did. xo
You two are amazing.
How do you do it?
I don’t even have time to shower three times a week.(So I suppose now would NOT be a good time to suggest a threesome…)
Nevertheless. I am very excited for both of you so GOOD LUCK, my friends.
I think I’m already following Pin Savvy Social on Facebook and I can’t wait to watch your idea take off.
Go Trassica! Or Jesscy! Or somethinglikethat.
XO
Trassical has a ring to it.
Also, I haven’t shaved since October so we won’t notice your stench.
Love Trassica and both of you, no showers, leg hair and all.
What a great idea! Congrats!
Congrats to the both of you! What a great endeavor…
Holy cow! Who knew a few years ago that there would be such a thing as a Social Media Consultant. Congratulations and pin away!
Are you smoking the pinterest crack yet – because if anyone should…YOU should.
I think this is such a great idea. I love it!
I finally gave in to the Pininterest addiction a few weeks ago and I now know why all my blogging friends have been going crazy over this!! Great to find your blog through twitter, now happily following you here as well as on Twitter!
Following you back! Thanks for the visit and for joining Pinterest. Isn’t it amazing! xo
You two are going to do so amazing in this venture I can’t wait to see!
Also. Yes powerpoint does exist. I was using it yesterday to prepare a presentation for Tuesday. I highly doubt it has advanced much since you last used it =)
Shoot – I was truly hoping that powerpoint had been retired. I cannot go back to work until it’s officially gone.
Confession: I had to “control find” to see if I already commented here last night. I was a bit – um – out of it.
I did not. So.
Congrats. you two are PERFECT for this!
…and now I need to know what you were doing last night…
Congrats! I heart Pinterest too.
How wonderful!! Congratulations!! xo
Thank you. Now help pimp us out. We are cheap and easy and still cute for our ages.
Well, kind of.
Tracy,
I do love Pinterest. I am trying to incorporate it onto my blog. I pin alot, but never seem to do anything. Every Wednesday, I try and present something I accomplished through Pinterest. It’s motivation for me to follow through with pinning.
It is so much fun. Good luck with your site. I already am a follower.
Love,
Your Utah Friend,
Tina
Oh that is a great idea. I admit I never find the time to do actual do much productive..but shop of course.
You’ve been working hard I see…. Maybe you should have your newest video over on the site, just so that consumers know what a classy, with it, kind of lady they are working with : ) You might get more crafting followers, because as we know crafters are Pinterests bread and butter!

I signed up for Pinterest today. I hope it doesn’t fizzle out like Stumble Upon and Klout did for me, but you’re right in saying that it’s beautiful – all those images.
