Ready...Set...Go!!!
The Pin It and Do It Challenge starts today! If you haven't joined up yet, please go read the "rules" and join at any time. But basically, during the month of May DO those things you've been pinning! Link up to any progress reports you have throughout the month. If you aren't keep track via some type of blogging, tell us in the comments section what you've been up to (please don't link to actual pins in the Mister Linky).
If you are doing bloggity updates, please link to the pin or actual web address somewhere so that those interested can have access to what you're doing (and give credit where credit is due). Also make sure you link to your permanent url so people can easily find your post. If you need help with this, let me know.
I've started using #PinitDoit on Twitter to distinguish tweets for the challenge. Feel free to join me!
HAPPY PINNING AND DOING!
Yay! One down and 6-ish to go!
ReplyDeleteI got my blog post up, and committed to the challenge. I'll be making my second recipe this week (I started a couple of days early). This also is kicking me to do a few other things I've been putting off, so I'm actually excited about this challenge. None of that 'seems cute but will irritate me ten days in' business.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it. :)
ReplyDeleteI caved and started pinning just to participate in this challenge. Looking forward to May!
ReplyDeleteI did my first one overnight. Not very successful, but completed!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic idea! My May is just insane, so I think it's probably a bad idea to sign up for the challenge. Maybe instead I'll do a post about Pinterest things I've already completed and then link back to your challenge!
ReplyDeleteI think I only committed to being Pinterested (4-7 pins), so I'm already halfway there! Perhaps I underestimated my p-interest level. This is kind of like putting things on your to-do list that you KNOW you will get done (like "wakeup before noon") just to have the satisfaction of marking it off.
ReplyDelete2 Pins done and it is only the 5th! I may be doing more of these than I thought this month. :)
ReplyDeleteSecond pin is done! YAY!
ReplyDeleteYay! I have 3 of my pins done. It was definitely geared towards cooking pins but hope to get to some of the others one throughout the month too.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Question for you: I have been getting in the habit of verifying the pins I see by traveling to the original link and then I pin from there but this misses the fun of knowing who/where I linked from on the 'friend' front and I am getting myself boggled by it all. DOes that make sense? How do you do it?
ReplyDelete:)
Hi Care - what I do is typically click through and verify, then go back to Pinterest and "repin" so I give credit to whoever pinned it before me.
DeleteCare, MJ - That's what I generally do as well (the verifying links and then repinning). And there are some people that I know are linking properly so I don't ALWAYS check (though I should go back). I need to do some cleaning up of old pins, though. Lots of bad links. :(
DeleteThird one is done!
ReplyDeleteNumber four was a fail. But, it's done. Lesson learned!
ReplyDeleteI started a blog just because of this challenge! I'll be at level Pinterested and try to do at least 5 of my pins. So excited!
ReplyDeleteI have just linked up my first update where I tried 3 recipes. The carrot cake was my biggest challenge. I hope to do some other stuff than cooking from pinterest but we will see what time permits :)
ReplyDeleteI've posted 3 so far and fourth is coming up tomorrow! So far the sewn paper garland was most difficult, making it drove me crazy and I managed to jam my sewing machine too a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteFourth one was marshmallow pops and they were delicious!
ReplyDeleteOne down, hopefully one more to go! I think I'm going to try for a recipe next . . .
ReplyDeleteOnly 7 more to go to reach 40...I've lost count. Yeah, been busy during toddler nap time. I've even worn some of my creations...and they didn't fall apart! Fun times...
ReplyDeleteThe fifth one is done!
ReplyDeleteI tried three recipes this week.. guess I'm a timid pinner!
ReplyDeleteNumber 6 is done!
ReplyDeleteFifth one is done. I wish we had more days in May!
ReplyDeleteThree down - five to go!
ReplyDeleteSeven and eight are done. And they are both failures :(
ReplyDeleteRock garden markers are ready and waiting for my next trip to summer cottage.
ReplyDeleteLace trim shirt is done!
ReplyDeleteNine and Ten are up!
ReplyDeleteAnd the 8th one is a hedgehog pincushion. It took me forever to make it so I'm glad it's done!
ReplyDeleteNautical medal brooch is done and once the paint has dried I can also post about my vertical garden. Just in time before this lovely challenge ends!
ReplyDelete39 projects done. Maybe I'll do one more tomorrow...this has been fun.
ReplyDeleteMy final pin is a hanging herb garden. Thanks so much for this challenge Trish, I loved making different things I've pinned!
ReplyDelete40 projects in 31 days. That was fun, and now I'm done! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I did this. :)
