Pinterest Milestone: 10,000 Pins!

I just hit 10,000 pins on Pinterest!  I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed.  It's taken a long time, but is it bad that I've spent that much time going through pins?  Honestly though, I don't really care if I've spent a huge portion of time on Pinterest because I feel like my life is more interesting because of it.  

Here are some examples:

• Making almost 200 new recipes (with some great successes and epic failures)
• Visiting places I never would have known about
• Using a huge collection of inspirational quotes to guide me through tough times
  
• Designing my dream home
• Having all kinds of interested facts to share with friends
• Laughing out loud at some of the hilarious stuff you find
• Getting inspired by amazing photography
• Spending way too much money on re-creating outfits from my fashion boards
• Learning all kinds of life hacks
• Making some really cute crafts
• Giving unique gifts that I never would have thought of myself

I'm sure there are more things I could list, but you get the point.  As much of a time-suck as Pinterest is, it really does add value to my life.  So now I might just go pin some more and work my way towards 20,000!

Finding things to pin is the easy part.  What I haven't mastered yet is the art of getting followers.  I see people with hundreds of people who follow them and I always wonder how they do it.  Do you have any tips or tricks on how I can grow my list of followers?
