Pinterest in Action - January

Are you like me? Hundreds or even thousands of pins on your Pinterest boards but most are just sitting there? This, then, is the swap for you!

The challenge: attempt no fewer than 3 of your pins and document the results. These can be recipes, crafts, decorating, household tips, etc. The requirements are thus:

1. Try at LEAST three pins from your current Pinterest profile.

2. Document, with pictures, your attempt. A minimum of two pics per pin is required. For example, if making a recipe, perhaps a pic of the assembled ingredients, a pic of the finished dish, and a pic on the faces of your family when they're tasting it. (Especially awesome if it's a Pinterest Fail!) If you're trying a household cleaning hint, take a before and after photo. Simple, right? THESE MUST BE ORIGINAL PHOTOS, NOT SIMPLY PRINTOUTS FROM THE WEB! (You can print your own photos on plain paper as photo paper can be pretty costly.)

3. Include a written link to the pin/website where you obtained your ideas.

4. Include the instructions or recipe, where applicable.

5. Add a little review for each of your tries - whether they be hits or misses. You must write, at minimum, a small paragraph. State WHY you tried this pin, WHAT the outcome was, IF you'd do this again, WHICH changes you'd make if you could.

You will have four weeks after the sign up deadline to complete this swap: three weeks to try your pins and one week to to send your swap. (You can, of course, send anytime after partners are assigned.)

Several notes:

NOTE: This is a time intensive swap. Please only sign up if you're going to put forth the effort.

NOTE: I will open this to Newbies with well-filled in profiles BUT I reserve the right to ban anyone who gives me any bad feelings. I WILL be checking profiles prior to assigning partners.

NOTE: I am making this a Type 3 swap due to the time component required in completing this swap.

Happy swapping!
