Polyvore

I'm so glad to see Megan posting again, and to hear that Melinda is recovering from the swine flu. I hope that everyone gets through this all right, and that little Alex gets better soon!
The title of my post is referring to a site that is about the best thing since un-sliced bread!
It was so hard to make myself get off of there!
It's so hard to explain, but you can use elements that they provide (from everywhere!)
to make collages
of fashion sets, home interiors (for inspiration boards), exteriors, artwork, photograhy
or anything you can possible imagine
Just go to 'Explore' to see the possibilities!
When I was gathering elements for my own collages
It felt like I was dreaming!
And, for those who want to publish their collages to that site
you can do so
which is great, 'cause then the rest of us get to look at them!
When you look at someone else's collage, you are shown what elements they used
and you can save any elements for your own use, as well
When you save an element, you're also shown related elements
plus you're shown how it's been used in other people's collages.
You can save the ones you like in collections
on the site

Is this making any sense?

You'll just have to go there to see what I'm talking about
But I'm warning you - It's very addictive!

Oooh- that is a cool site! Luckily, I tend to have a built-in chip that makes me run away from things that have too many options, thus taking up lots of time. This is also bad, because I miss some opportunities to be creative and stuff like that, but right now it is the trade-off I make! But you will have to show me stuff that you put together!!

Melinda, maybe it will help you one room ideas at some point, since you can click and drag actual decorating elements together or switch them up among themselves or with others, without having to lift a finger (well, just one...).
For me, it's so wonderful, because I can play around with looks before I actually do them, without having to drive! And that goes for art projects and decorating, both. It might even help my sense of style, if I select things that are similar to what I have and them mix them up.
Anyway, it's a lot of eye candy, which is what I crave when I'm here a lot!
Love you!

I think that sounds perfect for you! I am like Mel though, where I tend to run away from things that are so addicting, maybe because I've gotten scared of them from seeing what video games did to Ben, etc. :)

I'll have to check that out!

Well, once you get the elements, it's not really addictive at all. I was just anxious to assemble them. Now that I have them, I haven't done a thing with them!
So I guess it's just the first part that takes a few hours, if you're that eager to start.
You all probably would be fine. :)
