Pinterest Challenge – Summer

July 3, 2012 by Katie 37 Comments

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. 

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

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 🙂

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 🙂
