Pinterest Board Swap-Legendary Creature

I have no idea if anyone is going I be into this or if anyone follows Pinterest* (you all do right??) but here goes. I made up a board the other day for a contest called Legendary Creature. So you will make a board all based on your legendary creature and share the link with your partner. I'll describe mine then list the requirements and how you will be rated. Please don't stop reading if you've never done this. It's fun, I promise. *Explanation of Pinterest below.

My legendary creature was a mermaid. So I started with a few beautiful artist renderings of mermaids. I included a few rubber stamped images I coloured and added to ATCs or cards. Because this was a jewelry contest I also pinned some jewelry designs, beads and findings. Then I searched Pinterest for 'beach' and found some luscious images of beaches, obviously, but also fashion, shells, tableware, weddings, bouquets, flowers, hair styles, sandals etc. I was amazed at how much fun I had just making the board!

So create a board based on your favourite legendary creature. You can include images of that creature but also crafts, fashion, home dec, music, jewelry, art, colour schemes or mood boards, landscapes and anything else that reminds you of your creature, its colours, attributes or style. In the end, you need to have at least 1 picture of your creature and 20 various pins of at least 5 different types. So for example, not all fashion or all home dec. Easy enough?

Then you will email a link to your board to 5 partners. Rate your partner a 5 when you receive their email. If you don't get it, check your spam and give them another chance if they've marked it sent before rating 1. Hearts may be given based on the awesomeness and size of their board. Please do not rate them down or 'unheart' for links that cannot be clicked through as that often happens in Pinterest as the original pinner may pin from a photo they took rather than the Internet or may link to an entire website rather than a specific post or page. The photo often still remains and is so gorgeous that its worth repinning even if the source is lost.

*If you are unfamiliar with Pinterest and would like to get started, please PM me. It's worth the hype, trust me, even if you don't want to participate in this swap. It's basically a way to save things you find online visually, like an online bulletin board, rather than with written bookmark links on your computer. I mean, how many 'Paper Flower Tutorial' links can you save and search through before you go crazy!? I have dozens and all different. On Pinterest, I can see them all in a few seconds, choose which one I want to look at and go to it in the time it used to take to look at two or three of the links I had saved the old way. Easy right!!
