The SuperCool
Use this section to provide a description of your blog.
It's all about the Pin (Pinterest that is!)
Imagine a world where your tearsheets from inspirational mags, screenshots from blogs and sharing these ideas and moodboards with others could merge? Imagine not having to pay for this service?
Imagine you kept on being told by creative friends - "You'll get addicted to this... seriously...!" Imagine this place where creativity met organisation..... apparently its called Pinterest!
In a world where social media and technology connection seems to overwhelm our lives, it took us a while to realise that Pinterest was worth the extra time in our day....
If only we had fallen in love sooner! So TheSuperCool is officially on Pinterest - we're quite obsessed... repinning like crazy and finding new inspirational images and blogs that are just begging to be pinned and shared.
If you're already on Pinterest - follow us here ... If you're not - believe me.. join the fun. This is awesome and much more visually stimulating and fun compared to twitter & facebook (in our humble opinion!)
