Now It's Your Turn! The Weekly Pinterest Party

This has been a tough week... The Girl caught an evil virus and she's been sick for the last 5 days. So I'm at home with her and with the baby, trying to keep them as far as possible from one another and basically chasing my own tail...

But we won't let THAT interrupt our weekly party, right?

Remember? You pin your pictures to the Pinterest Group Board, get views from hundreds of followers and maybe even get to be featured here next week.

How to pin your photos to the group board?

1. Follow me on Pinterest
2. Leave a comment, here or on any of my Pinterest pins, with your Pinterest user name.
3. I'll follow you back
4. I'll send you an invite
5. Accept the invite
6. Start pinning!

Begginers, here's a detailed explanation:
- You have to follow me on Pinterest (and I have to follow you), because these are Pinterest's rules for group boards. If the board admin wants to invite people to the pin to the board, they have to follow each other. You can only follow one of my boards, btw.
- You don't have to be bloggers. As long as your pictures are somewhere around the WWW, you're good. Flickr, Picasaweb, Instagram etc. are all fine.
- Your pin doesn't have to be a tutorial. As long as it can be an inspiration to someone, that's fine.
- If you have a non-English blog, that's OK. These days, with Google Translate, we can just translate the page to another language.

All right then, shall we see today's features?

Fall is here already, and fall means pumpkins, and this is a great tutorial for a fabric pumpkin from Craft Cravings.

I'm addicted to chalkboard paint! I'm working on a tutorial for a chalkboard with a twist, but meanwhile, take a look at this awsome idea, for chalkboard mugs by The Purple Carrot.

And last one for today - a super cute fabric bunny, with a link to a free pattern, by Tom Toy.

Thanks for sharing ladies, if you were featured, feel free to grab a button!

That's it for today, don't forget to pin your best works into the board!

A Shop a Week

The World of ceramic is a magical world full of surprises. The feeling of clay in your hands is something you just can't put in words. Our weekly store is karoArt, and owner Karo, polish born living in Ireland, has tought herself this amazing craftsmanship. Her items are so beautiful, I'm just speechless...

A delicate & romantic set

These cute reindeer are meant to be christmas tree ornaments, but I want to make a mobile for the LO out of them

A simple bowl with a birdy twist

A beautiful necklace. I've got to get it!

And don't forget, if you know a great online shop, or if you're the owner of one, let me know :)

Co-Hosting The Blog Strut!

Thank you so much for stopping by this week’s special Blog Strut...

Halloween Edition

There will be no Blog Strut next week since we will be celebrating, so enjoy our Halloween edition this week!

Even during our special parties we are always rule-free!

There are a set of guidelines below but they are just that, guidelines!

We want you to post what you want, share what you want, and not have to do anything in return but share the bloggy love!

The host (My Personal Accent) will pin all of the entries.

That’s right, all of the entries. We feel that everyone deserves the traffic and exposure.

That is why you are linking up, right?

We found pinning to be more effective than commenting on entries.

By pinning your posts you will be guaranteed more exposure through all of our followers and their followers on Pinterest!

NEW this week we have added Instagram and Google+ Social Link ups!

Every week we pick our favorite post

The top clicked post
