I have given up on out of season crafting just for my blog. I can no longer post about Halloween in July and Christmas in October. It just doesn’t work for my life.
Having said that, Halloween came down Nov. 1 and I have been tempted to set up my Christmas tree EVERY. DAY. SINCE…
Seeing as how there’s a small chance that might annoy some people around here, I keeping myself satisfied with smaller holiday crafts and continue to scope out new ideas online.
In the same boat as me? Phhhhew!
Well, then I have something to share…
Join me from the cozy comfort of your own home (feel free to wear stretchy pants) for the Holiday Idea Exchange on Pinterest! this Sunday, Nov. 10, 9 EST/8 CST/7 MST/6 PST.
Here’s how you can take part:
- Follow the Holiday Idea Exchange Board on Pinterest.
- On November 10 at 8 PM Central, log on to Pinterest. As the party unfolds, each of the party hosts will be posting and pinning fabulous, never-before-seen holiday projects exclusively to the Holiday Idea Exchange Board.
- Get YOUR projects ready too, because everyone who pins their new holiday projects between 8-10 PM Central using the #HolidayIdeaExchange hashtag will see THEIR ideas re-pinned to the board.
- If you are a creative blogger wanting to spread the word about your phenomenal creations, this is your opportunity to share your best holiday ideas with thousands of creative enthusiasts!
- Not a blogger? Tune in to watch the abundance of fabulous holiday ideas shared throughout the event and add a few projects to your holiday to-do list!
- The event hosts will all be re-pinning and commenting as the party unfolds, so this event will essentially be a big virtual holiday party, and a great time to use Pinterest to get social and share some holiday spirit with other creative enthusiasts!
The guidelines:
- Shared projects must be brand-new holiday projects for 2013 (created within the last 30 days).
- Only those pinning with the #HolidayIdeaExchange hash tag will be re-pinned to the Holiday Idea Exchange Board.
- Each participant will be limited to a total of 5 projects.

WOW- those features- they caught my eye this past week too. Incredibly beautiful.
The Pin party will be really fun- all my favorite people all in one place.
I’m so laughing at the thought of setting up Christmas – I have so many projects that I need to get done before I set up – it’s just getting in that Christmas mode while knowing I still have Thanksgiving ahead of me. 🙂
