Pin It Party

Hi Friends!

Like I mentioned in Bean Bytes on Monday, we’re having a fun little party over here today- a Pin It Party! If you’re not already following my on Pinterest, please click the following link to find me: The Lean Green Bean.

pin it party

Here are the details:

I’m always looking for ways to spread the love to my fellow bloggers. I came up with this idea last week and after checking with a few bloggers to see if they’d be interested, I decided to put it into action! So here’s the deal:

All bloggers are welcome to participate! Here’s what you do:

  • Round up 5 blog posts you’ve written that you would like to see on Pinterest.
  • Make sure there is a nice, pinable image or photo included in each post.
  • Write a short post featuring the posts you chose- ie, put 5 nice images & links to the posts all in one place, along with a short description of each post.
  • On Thursday, publish your post, then visit The Bean and add your post to the linkup! (If you’re just reading this today and still want to participate, just publish in the next few days…I’ll leave the linkup open for about a week!)

The only rule is this:

If you add your post to the linkup, please take a few minutes to visit at least three other posts  and pin some of their images!

That’s it! Hopefully this will be a fun way to get some Pinterest exposure to some of your best posts and to help drive traffic to your blogs.

If you’re a reader, you can still join in the fun if you’re on Pinterest! Remember that pinning images from blog posts you love is a great way to support your favorite bloggers! It helps more people see the posts and can help the blogs grow! So, if you’re a reader in the mood to pin, visit the Pin It Party, check out some of the great posts that are linked up and pin away!

So without further adieu, here are my 5 posts I’d love to see more of on Pinterest:

Cranberry sweet potato cottage cheese muffins

{Cranberry Sweet Potato Cottage Cheese Muffins}

How to prep foods on the weekend

{How To Prep Food On The Weekend}

Spicy feta dip

{Spicy Feta Dip}

Top 30 workouts

{Top 30 Workouts}

zucchini carrot apple muffins

{Zucchini Carrot Apple Muffins}

—————

Bonus: Because I didn’t include a dessert..
and because I’m the host and I do what I want 😉

puppy chow almonds

{Puppy Chow Almonds}

——————

Happy Pinning, friends! Check out all the linkups below and PIN AWAY!!!!

Enjoy!

    This is such a great idea although there’s a large chance I will lose a big chunk of my weekend reading all these great posts! But…I’m tapering for a marathon on Monday…I’m allowed to spend a few hours infront of the computer this weekend. Perfect timing! 🙂 I will be adding my Pin It post later today!
