Parchment, Packages and Pretties

Parchment, Packages and Pretties... my new pin board on Pinterest! 

I love parchments and glorified office supplies of any kind {the apple from my grandmother's tree}
I love to wrap beautiful gifts {I come by this honestly, thanks to my mother (may she rest in peace)}
I love all things pretty {from both my mother and grandmother}

Finally, I started organizing my vast pin-board selections.  I don't have as many boards as some others may but I've been pinning since the beginning of Pinterest so I have accrued a lot of select pins on only a few boards.  Today during my BALANCED me time, I enjoyed my cup of coffee at the computer while playing on Pinterest and then got lost in a few beautiful blogs that had loads of free downloads that are all currently taking respite in my CrEaTiVe folder on my desktop... happily waiting to be printed and shared!

Here are a few of my boards:

It is addictive fun that inspires!

I do a lot of screen shots, have you tried them before?
For those of you that haven't learned to take a screen shot with your MAC yet, the simplest way I have found is to use the buttons command/shift/4 at the same time.  This will turn your mouse cursor into a cross reference, line the cursor up to one corner of your intended area and just click and drag over the photo you want to create.  When you release your mouse, you will hear a camera sound and a new photo will be on your desktop.  I recommend going straight to your finder, renaming the photo and filing it away in an appropriately named folder for easy reference OR using it and deleting it so you keep your "work area" clean {something I am learning to do.... but slowly *grin*}.  This may be old news to you but maybe.... it is a NEW TIP and you are super excited to try it!!  Let me know if you need this clarified.  You could probably Google Apple Tips or go to YouTube and watch a video on how to do it but since it is simple... I think you will catch on no problem :-)

Happy Pinning
