Happy Sunday, everyone! We’re going to start featuring our top 5 favorite pins each week. From creative and crafty to delicious and inspiring, there’s something on Pinterest for everyone. Take a look at what rocked our socks the week of July 15, 2012!

1. Pinner: Etsy
What: $4 | That Thing You Did Was Amazeballs Stationary 

This caught my attention for a couple reasons. For one, it reminded me of how important a hand written thank you note can be in this digital world. It’s a simple gesture that goes a long way. It’s especially great for thanking clients and contractors. Secondly, it has the word amazeballs on it. Who doesn’t love the word amazeballs? It’s just rad. You can purchase this funny card here.

2. Pinner: Jillian Marie
What: How to Break in Your Shoes in Less than TWO Minutes

This is the perfect solution for shoes that fit a bit too tight. Whether you’re an entrepreneur on the go, mom on the move, or night owl, there’s no reason your feet should be suffering.

Directions:
Put on socks and slip on your shoes. 
Aim the hairdryer on the tight section for a few seconds (wiggle and stretch your feet inside the shoe for maximum benefit).
Keep the shoes on while they cool.
Remove the socks and test out shoes.

We’re all mad here. Great use of typography via Eye Fly High.

This is a tribute to our favorite social media gem, Pinterest. You know you have pinning problems when…

1. You daydream about getting paid to pin. Job title: Pinographer. Why not?

2. Your grocery list is a mile long resembling ingredients to all your latest pins.

3. You wish your “motivation” board was actually a shopping cart. You can buy most things on Pinterest; why not a nice pair of toned legs?

4. You can’t remember if you already pinned it. Why isn’t there a reminder for this already?! “Oops! You already pinned this.”

5. You have more than one board a pin can go on. Make-up Looks I Love or Beautiful People?! They fit both!

6. You’ve said, “Honey, not tonight. I’m Pinning.”

7. You regularly talk in pins. Hey, it’s better than gossiping.

8. You despise absolutely everything in your closet because it doesn’t compare to your style board.

9. Before you commit to a new friendship, you must view their Pinterest boards first. Background check.

10. You like, reblog, or repin this post because you’re a Pinterest addict too.
