I am honored (and frankly a little surprised!) to be amongst the great bloggers heading up the Winter Pinterest Challenge. That's right-- Katie at Bower Power and Sherry at Young House Love are back at it again, and Cassie of Hi Sugarplum and I have been invited to join in on the fun. And yes, it's totally less than two weeks until spring (and we've been having spring-like temps in Georgia for the past month), but you should know by know that this crew follows its own set of rules.
The idea of the Pinterest Challenge is that Katie and Sherry realized they had pinned all sorts of great ideas on their Pinterest boards that they should just do. Sort of like an early Dude, Get On That Already challenge, except with Pinterest. So they decided to team up once a season to create one project based on a pin. You might remember the last few challenges I participated in, including summer's guest bedroom crayon wax paper artwork (and summery recipes for extra credit) and fall's framed paint chip art.
This time around we're putting out the challenge for all of you crafty folks to post your own projects by next Wednesday, March 14. You don't have to do something too huge or time-intensive to participate (my past projects have been completely freeeee and only took a tiny bit of elbow grease each time), but please share if you create something! You're welcome to use the Pinterest challenge banner in your own blog post, and make sure to link up to the hosts in your post, too.
P.S. You can follow me on Pinterest here, and follow Katie, Sherry, and Cassie, too! Come on-- you know you want to continue the vicious cycle. If you still haven't heard of Pinterest, check out their About page and request to join the madness ASAP. And in the interest of full disclosure, Pinterest doesn't endorse this challenge.
Ohh Love your paint chip artwork!! Great colors!

And happy to have you following! Thanks for reading. :-)
DeleteI love your paint chip art - much better to use paint chips to create art than to toss them in the trash when you're done with them! I've pinned a paint chip art project that I'm planning to do one of these days - just have about 58 other projects in line ahead of it!
ReplyDeleteI have a project that was inspired by five Pinterest pins for the challenge. Looking forward to sharing it and seeing what's inspired everyone else :-)
