Last night I was once again planning ways that I could actively do things with these things that I continue to pin on Pinterest. After all, I don’t just want to remember these things for sometime later in the future (well, yes, some of them I do) but rather take advantage of the ideas and really share what can be done!
Just pinning things on my boards is not doing me any good anyway.
I was thinking about doing 365 days of Pinterest like I’ve seen with Kirsty, but Julia so kindly pointed out that life really does get in the way sometimes… and made me think that maybe a daily challenge wasn’t quite right for this kind of thing.
So I’m starting a weekly challenge for myself and others.
Starting with the first full week of September, do something that you’ve pinned on @Pinterest… document it on your blog (anytime that week) and link up here on Saturday/Sunday. (The linky will be open all weekend.)
*When sharing the project on your blog, make sure to give credit to the original presenter of the recipe/craft/idea with a link back to that post if at all possible. We don’t want anyone to be accused of stealing here. 
So what do you think?
Can you make something like this…
Brownie Chunk and Chocolate Chip Cookies
Or do something like this…
Or travel to somewhere like this…
Or read something like this…
Who’s up for my #Pinterest52 challenge? Let me know in the comments below!
*If you are not currently on Pinterest and want to check out all of it’s awesome-ness, just let me know in the comments… or send me an email at dutchbeingme (at) gmail (dot) com and I’ll be sure to get an invite out to you!
Great idea Julie…and I’ll pin this post so I can remember to participate!
I’ll have a couple more reminders in the weeks to come… but so excited that you want to participate!
Oh my gosh, I’m totally interested! Next week might be kind of hard b/c I’ll be heading to #BBCCHI, but I think this is a great idea!!! I really do love Pinterest!
LOVE that you want to do something with your pins!
I’m not actually starting the linky until the first week of September (the saturday after Labor Day)… so no worries! (Yes, mainly because I’m gone the weeks before w/ BBC & a business trip.)
I’ll try! We’re starting homeschooling this week, so I may not have time…
I’ve seen lots of things for homeschooling on Pinterest – so maybe a science lesson or something could be incorporated! (Just an idea)… participate whenever you can – you are welcome anytime.
I am TOTALLY up for it! I can’t wait to have a reason to give some of those awesome ideas a try!!!
So excited that you are joining in! Yay!
I’m so doing this!! Greta idea.
love love love
I’m so excited to see what everyone is doing with their pins… and how much variation there will be. Can’t wait to see it all!
I am so in! Now I have an excuse to pin even more stuff… wouldn’t want to run out!
That’s exactly what I did in the last day… I totally started pinning more stuff to a board that’s dedicated to accomplishing my goal of one per week!
I’m in too. Need to use pinterest more. I have enjoyed it so far.
Awesome Tim! Pinterest has so much potential for all of us… can’t wait to see what everyone is sharing.
Me me me!!!! I love this idea. Though in Sept all my pinterest challenges will be halloween. That’s ok right?
Oh I’m sure there will be lots of Halloween stuff… and my Christmas stuff may start in November sometime – and continue through January…
Can’t wait to see what you come up with and accomplish from your pinning!
Great idea! I’m in!!
Can’t wait Jessica!
i love this idea. Now I need to get busy pinning!
I think many of us are pinning away today/tonight! I know I want to have lots of ideas to go with.
Can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with!
I love this idea! I’m in! I’m especially in to some of the crafts and cooking things so I can totally do this!
I think most of mine are going to be the crafty & baking ones. My coworkers my really like me starting this challenge when they see what I’ll be bringing in.
Oh, I want to do this! I have actually been using Pinterest ideas this week for reorganizing my office/craft space but I didn’t really “make” anything. I think it would be a great challenge because I could always use it to try new recipes.
Yes! Recipes are one of the big things that I’ll probably be doing too. Although there are a number of DIY projects I’ve found in the last day that look fun too.
Love this idea. Great excuse to get busy on my to do Pinterest list.
As if we needed anymore excuse to work on our Pinterest boards… right?!
This is exactly what I need to actually tackle those!!
I am the same way… needed a reason to do the things that I’ve been hoping to do! Can’t just keep pinning items and hope to get to them “someday”!
What a terrific idea! I need to start pinning so I can participate!
I am so excited about this whole challenge… and can’t wait to see what everyone’s come up with. I’m sure you’ll find some fabulous recipes that I’ll want to avoid looking at your blog for again. (Seriously, that chocolate cake… still tempting me now.)
Love it! I’m in!
Great Melissa! Can’t wait to see what you share!
I love Pinterest and this sounds fun. Putting it on my calendar so I remember!
If I’m really on top of things (which may or may not happen) I *might* send out a reminder email to those that are interested.
So glad that you are interested in joining up… can’t wait to see what you have pinned & accomplished!
Oh my gosh I am SO excited!! Im definitely going to be participating! I need motivation to actually get going on some of my pins and get some of this stuff done. Especially since most of it is to beautify my newly purchased home. Great idea!!
I can’t wait to see what you do with your house!
I love home projects… and have a couple lined up as well. So glad that I am giving you the motivation… trust me, I needed it too!
What a great idea! I’m going to start pinning stuff so I can participate!
So glad that you are going to link up!
I have to go find more things to pin… and more things that I want to do around here. 
I love this! It sounds like so much fun. I am not, however, on Pinterest yet, so an invite would be awesome.
Sent your invite – and hope you enjoy pinning as much as I do! If you have any questions about it… just let me know!
Dude.. I am so IN! This is probably the best idea I’ve seen in bloggyland. Plus, I spend half of my day just repinning your pins. It’s about time I actually DO something with them.
That’s exactly what I was thinking… seriously, I can’t just keep pinning things without doing anything with them.
Glad to have you participating!
I just love this idea. I don’t know if I’ll be able to participate for all of Sept/Oct because I’ll be traveling but I hope to join in when I can!
Definitely participate when you can! We all need to make use of all of our pins! Hope you have a great time while you are traveling.
i’m so glad you decided to go with one a week!! i think it’s going to be awesome…. and totally doable!! after all, success keeps us motivated. i’m going to start with something we did a couple weeks ago, but i’m definitely IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mwah!! xoxo
This is a great idea.
What a fantastic idea!! I adore Pinterest and love a way to share it!! Question…so on Saturday/Sunday we comment on your blog with the link to our blog post? Do we need to link your blog in our post? I’m so excited <3

This sounds like a lot of fun! I better get myself pinning some things that I can do instead of just pretty things I want to look at.
Very fun idea!! I’m going to have to try to make time for this one.
Oooh, good idea. I’m in, I think
. I have lots of craft stuff I want to do but I’m really bad at actually doing them so I’m in if I can stick to it and do something crafty.
This will be great!!

This sounds like such a good idea! I am in. It is either going to make me fat, since I pin a lot of food or make me go broke but what the hell. I need to start pinning more now! Maybe I can even finally get crafty.
Great idea!! I am so in! I also would LOVE to follow you on pinterest, I’m always looking for someone to feed my pinning obsession!

There’s something for everyone. (P.S. If you need a [...]
I’m very interested in joining this challenge! I’m just learning how to sew, I’m learning how to see things differently in a more creative aspect other than just photography. My daily 365 challenge allowed some creative doors I never knew I had! I accept this challenge!!! && Look forward to starting it this week!
