Pin-Wild! + Link Party

Hey All! I just wanted to drop in and let y’all know that I won’t be participating in the Pinterest Challenge this time. Life kind of got in the way, plus I don’t have a car at the moment so I can’t just go to Michael’s afterward and scan the aisles for an hour. But I’m anxious to participate in the next one, which should probably happen in the fall since it goes by seasons. I smell Halloween decorations!

Now, excuse my excitement about the next set of news, but I’m stoked!

In other Pinterest news, I’ve experienced my first ever project gone Pin-Wild! Usually when I post a project it gets pinned maybe 5 – 45 times, and then it dies a quick death – but my Liquid Skittles drink has gone crazy for the past month! It’s already up to 7K+!

Since I don’t have a project to share this time around for the big P-Challenge, I still wanted to have some fun, so I’ve created my first ever link party for the day! :)


PIN-WILD; LINK ‘EM UP

I’d love to see what projects of yours have gone pin-wild!
Feel free to link them up below – it can be your first project gone Pin-Wild,
or if you have multiple projects that have gone Pin-Wild, just pick one and link it up.
Don’t have a project that has gone Pin-Wild? Then link up a project that you’d love to go Pin-Wild.
Did I say Pin-Wild enough? :-X

    holy cow that’s awesome! That’s a LOT of pins! haha

    I just figured out how to add those “pin it” buttons to the blog, so maybe now I’ll have something go “pin wild” hehe ;)

    Did you know that you can check what’s been pinned from your blog? Here’s your link: http://pinterest.com/source/humberhomeproject.blogspot.com/

    It doesn’t show everything, but it shows some things. :)

    I just learned about the “source” page on pinterest last week or so. I might stalk it a lot. haha. Too bad they’re all pins I’ve done. ;)

    Congratulations on your pin going crazy. I have yet to have that happen.
    P.S. I hope your car gets fixed soon.

    & Thanks for linking up. :)

    It took me awhile. It just kind of happens out of the blue too. It didn’t go wild until weeks after I posted it. Weird. Maybe linking up to my party will help? :)

    Woo! I’m not surprised the Liquid Skittles drink went pin-wild – it is an awesome recipe!
    I’m not doing the Pinterest challenge either because I was busy this weekend and thought the deadline was tomorrow so I don’t have anything even started yet!

    I had something started, but I couldn’t finish it due to not having transportation.

    Thanks for linking up! :)

    That’s amazing!! Congrats! :)

    I linked up one of my projects… not sure why the title isn’t showing up… maybe it was too long? Oh well!

    Hmm.. that’s weird. This is my first time using InLinkz so I have no idea why it did that. :-X

    Thanks for linking up! :)

    No worries! Can you delete it and I will re-post with a shorter title? :)

    Melanie @ Mailbox Journey said:
    July 10th, 2012 at 12:12 pm

    I re-named it California String Art, is that okay? Or do you want it to be called something else? It’s no problem to change it. :)

    Wow, that’s great that one of your projects went pin wild!

    And for the record, a drink involving Malibu is a win in my book :)
