Anyone who uses Pinterest on a regular basis will appreciate this, because now you can start collecting pictures for special events that you may not be ready to make public to the world (a wedding or baby that you haven’t announced perhaps?). Let’s face it, there’s just some picture collections that you’d just love to be only for you. 

Well now you have the chance to make up to 3 secret boards (my guess is this will probably increase over time). Just log in to Pinterest and on the top left corner you should see a little alert box that says something like “introducing new Pinterest secret boards” and from there you can click “get started” and go on to create your first secret boards! How exciting

Have fun creating your public and now secret boards–and feel free to add Kitsch -n- Kitchens on there as well. I’d love to have more friends on there!
