Pinterest Challenge – Summer
Summer is here! And yes, we forgot the spring one….just like Mother Nature and that whole global warming thing this year. Thanks alot Al Gore.
In the past Sherry & I have always done something a little wacky to announce this big challenge. We’ve done some wacky videos with celebrities….pasted our heads on Survivor bodies…and held up some blank poster board. You know…crazy stuff. Well, dontcha know with her in town, we tried REALLY hard to make this one the most exciting announcement yet. This is a must-watch people…I believe Ebert gave it half a pinkie finger up. (or he could have been just drinking some tea very daintily). Either way – click….now.
Yes. that happened.
So if you are new to these parts, the Pinterest Challenge is simpler than a pair of underwear with the rear flap removed. Basically you take something you pinned on Pinterest and give it a go. like a lot of go because you only have seven days to get it done. In short…don’t tackle something like building Noah’s ark…unless you are way handy…in which case, go ahead and open that flood gate.
In one week, we will all come back here to share our glorious victory over Pinterest. In other words, we will host a linky party and everyone can visit your blog or gallery and pour out lavish compliments on your accomplishment. or nod congrats at their computer screen. or pin it with a quip about how awesome you are.
Just like in the past, Sherry and I chose two amazing girls who we adore to co-host with us. I am very pleased to introduce to you Kate - better known as Centsational Girl and Michelle from the blog Ten June. They are taking on this challenge with us (yay for power in numbers!) and I am just drooling to see what they tackle.
I would absolutely love it if you joined us too! Here’s some general tips to help ya when you reveal your final projects:
- The project inspiration needs also to be linked up to…but not only to the pinterest item – but also to the original source (whether that be a store like Pottery Barn or a blog or a website) Let’s make sure to give credit where credit is due, y’all!
- Remember that no project is too small or too big.
- Projects have no limits….cooking, sewing, crafting, DIY, home stuff, those crotchless panties for your hubbie you’ve been eyeing….anything goes
- If you want to post about your own Pinterest Challenge projects on your own blog – it would be super nice to have you include the Pinterest Challenge Banner and link back to our project posts too! Links give us a chance to meet new friends and become one big happy internet family
- Oh and Pinterest doesn’t know about this challenge (or endorse, sponsor, etc.) – if we threw up in the ladies room, they would not hold back our hair…they would run away from the chunks like any normal person.
Join us? Pretty please….with some bacon bits on top…I’ll even throw in the grease
“the Pinterest Challenge is simpler than a pair of underwear with the rear flap removed” lmao!! I’ve never heard that one but it is priceless – definately a keeper.
Pintrest Challenge – OH YEAH!!! I’m game.
So… I’m not going lie, I had to rewind and watch the body-boob-belly-bumping at the end when Sherry became airborne about 6 times. Tears, I had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard. Thank you for that! It was wonderful accompaniment to my morning coffee! Now I must go change my britches because I am certain I peed a little bit.
Cute….and funny video
I think I’m defiantly going to do this, it will be my first Pinterest Challenge, and I cant wait to see what ya’ll come up with.
Your belly dancing cracks me up! Love, love, love it!!!!
You ladies are hilarious. You totally made me laugh out loud… you should add a “Do not drink beverages while watching this video” warning.
I’m in! Like a worm in tequila. …Wait, that doesn’t end well for the worm…
I’ll be tackling a pair of summer dresses for my friends’ twins’ first birthday. First garment sewing here I come!
YAY!!! you two are seriously so funny. and i am excited for another pinspired project! =)
happy 4th! =)
Oh my goodness, thank you for that this morning!
Trying my best not to bust up at work too loudly!
LMAO! My 2 year old son was watching with me and had to give the “pretty” ladies each a kiss and then you guys started dancing and he said…”whoa!” Too funny. Super excited for this leg of the challenge!
OMG you two are nuts! That was soooo funny.
That last part was amazing! The whole video was cute and silly and then the bump at the end that flung poor Sherry sent it over the top to hilarious! Loved it and cannot stop laughing.
I’ve been meaning to participate in this the last couple of times you did the challenge but I never managed to get around to it. I told myself that the next time I WOULD do it. And with the 4th of July tomorrow, I’m going to make something happen!
Thanks for the challenge!
Ok, I have no time for this, but what I *do* have is a toilet paper roll stash. One so big that I was recently forced to ORGANIZE it. My toilet paper roll stash, that is. So, combining that embarrassing situation with the Pinterest Challenge gives you a need so great that you just make time for it, right? Right.
P.S. I need to hang out with you guys next time. I straight LOVED the video.
This video is hilarious. There are no words. Also when are you going to post more updated pregnancy photos? I feel like you went from zero to a hundred overnight!!! That is not supposed to be offensive. Promise.
I am SO in. Thanks to all of you for inspiring the rest of us to get a move on!
Yay! I was hoping that the Petersiks visit to your house would result in another Pinterest challenge!
omg..that video. Hilarious.
I was watching your video with my 9 month old and he totally cracked up when you guys belly bumped and sherry fell over. He is fond of belly bumps because he does them with his dad all the time.
I mean that video. Hilarious. Can’t wait to participate!!
OMG!! The. Best. Video. Ever!! Love the chest/belly/boob bump thingy the most!! 2 against one=awesome!!
YAY!! I love Pinterest Challenge time!!
So excited!!! I love the pinterest challenge so much
Laughing…laughing…OH CRAP I need new panties. Hilarious as always
Second comment in one day…. but I just got home and was able to watch the video. You guys are hilarious! I’m glad I waited until I was home ‘cos you two had me laughing out loud
Hahaha that was amazing, John’s “two against one” killed me. Awesome.
You girls are SO funny! And you and your bump are looking gorgeous, Katie. xx
That was the most hilarious video ever. Katie you totally bumped-dropped Sherry! Love it!!!
I’m totally in! You guys crack me up!
I might try 2 projects, but definitely starting with this one: http://yearofserendipity.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/here-we-go-again/
I can’t wait to see everyone elses projects!!
I laughed so hard when you knocked Sherry out of the air. You two are a riot. Thanks for the smile today!
OK, I want participate in the Pinterest Summer Challenge but I do not have a blog. So, how to I present the information to you?
You can still participate! If you have a photo sharing site – like a flickr account – you can always link to the party with that!

The belly bumping–Sherry flying part was hilarious! “Two against One” The best part was when you said to Sherry “What is wrong with you?” Oh my–it just brightens up my day.
I just finished mine!!! I’m so excited to link up!
Oh no!! I just realized I have a Dr’s appt out-of-town. How early/late can I link up??
I think I leave the party open for at least a week – so if you can’t do it right away, then just come back whenever you get in town
