I was wondering whether or not you would be okay with me pinning this one on PINTEREST? It has a button there, but I thought I would ask first! (all Credit given to you ofcourse, and I would link back to your blog)

I am trying to create a public author/artist page in FB, and once I do that, I will be able to join pinterest without putting up pix of my kids. I mostly use FB to share photos with friends and family, but I guess I need to up my game. LOL Thanks for giving me some incentive. I like my photo being up on Pinterest. 🙂

I hope that works. If not, let me know… Taking baby steps here. Still confused. When I try to join pinterest, it only pulls up my private page. Sigh. Clearly I do not know what I’m doing.

https://www.facebook.com/BrendaDavisHarsham I think this is a better link. I can’t figure out how to tell facebook I want the public author page to join, not the private me page. Facebook just doesn’t get privacy.
