Notice anything different? … Besides a newer pic of me … No? … How ’bout now? … Aw, come on. It’s like when girls get a haircut and their significant others don’t notice. Imagine me staring you in the eye with my head cocked sideways, smiling pretty and blinking rapidly. {That’s how we do it, right girls?} Oh, alright. I’ll just tell you.
Look to the right of your screen and maybe scroll down a bit. There you will find my Wists list. What are Wists, you ask? Well, I’m not sure if it/they is/are singular/plural. I haven’t quite figured out the lingo. {For the sake of consistency, I’m going to address it as singular.} Either way, Wists is a ‘social shopping scrapbook.’
At least, that’s what they say. I like to call it ‘the website that keeps track of all the stuff I like but don’t have.’ Basically, you just go to their site, sign up with an email address, drag the ‘Add to Wists’ link into your bookmark toolbar and then commence online browsing. If you find something you like, simply click the ‘Add to Wists’ link in your toolbar. This will pull up a screen with nearly every image from the current page you are looking at. Just select which image you’d like to save, add a keyword to the image and, voilà!, you have an online wish list. Wists keeps track of where each item was originally clipped from along with a descriptive title. It’s pretty fun and a total time waster. Great for cold, blustery nights. I had a blast putting together the little list you see over in my sidebar. You can click on ’em for more details. {I’m diggin’ navy with natural wood tones thrown in.} Of course, most of the items I’ll never see in my own home because they’re too dang expensive. But a few are attainable. {Ahem, Elle Decor magazine subscription, cough, cardboard animal heads, cough, cough} If anything, it’s a great way to see how different items look together in a mix. And in case you didn’t know it already, wish lists are totally in right now. So, go have a look and start wisting away.
FYI – Handy Hubby always likes to remind me not to waste a wish on whatever I’m wishing for at the moment. But wasting wists are okay.
AFYI {also for your information} – I was not compensated in any way for this post. I just like sharing fun stuff.
