I joined my first Pinterest swap a couple weeks ago @CajunLady 's Pinterest--Crochet Board and loved getting new pins. Now I would love to see your pins for Valentine's Day!

Create a Board with Valentine's themed pins. These can be decorating ideas, craft ideas, actual Valentines, anything with the word "Love", hearts, etc. Things that make you think of Valentines Day or things that would be good for Valentine's Day. Your Board should have a minimum of 30 pins, but the MORE THE MERRIER!

Please send the link to your Valentine's Board via PM (Private Message) here on Swap-bot or in the Comment section of your partner's Profile. Do not send your links in an email due to emails going to Spam and occasionally getting lost in cyberspace. I don't want anyone to say they didn't get their partner's link.

If you need help to create a clickable link within your PM or Comment, here is how to do it.

  1. Decide what word you want to be clickable: I will use the words "Valentine's Day". Take your word or words and enclose them in brackets like this: [Valentine's Day]

  2. Enclose the URL to your Valentine's Board in parentheses: (http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=valentines%20day&rs=ac&len=10) {this is a URL to a search for Valentine's Day on Pinterest and is not an actual board. Be sure your URL is the URL to your Board.}

  3. Put those two items together, the bracketed info and the parentheses'd info, and you'll have a clickable word that links to your board! Just remember, there should be no spaces in the info, except between multiple words in the brackets if you choose to use more than one word.

Putting those two items together gives me this:

Valentine's Day

When you click on it, you'll see some Valentine Pins on Pinterest! :) Now please don't just create a board and put these first pins on them. That's missing the spirit of this swap. Personalize your board to what you like! These should be YOUR pins and not just pins randomly put on a board to fulfill the 30 minimum pin requirement. Of course, if you happen to like all the first 30 pins you see, pin 'em! But we've all seen these since I used them in the example. Give us something more to see. :)

Newbies are welcome with a well-filled Profile. Established swappers should have no 1's that can be fulfilled. This is an easy electronic swap, but you should have a good swapping reputation here before joining.

Any questions or comments, feel free to PM me or join the Discussion below. :)

This will be my first Pinterest. I hope it works. I got all my pins. I hope I can link it right.

Okay I got my board! This will be my first swap ever!! I am so looking forward to seeing what others have pinned...I bet you can tell a lot about your partner by what things they choose to pick. It should be neat!

KarlaKC 01/15/2014 #

You guys are gonna do great linking! Just remember brackets around the word(s) that will be clickies and then the URL to your board immediately afterwards and enclosed in parenthesis. And no space between the closing bracket and opening parenthesis.

I promise it's really easier than it sounds. You can practice on me if you'd like and send me a PM with your clickie. :) and I'll let you know how well you did!

Karla, I'm going to try this, let me know if it works! Thx!

Do I need to put the heart design on my board? I only have a cell Phone, I can't cut & paste. I am afraid I will type urls in wrong...

KarlaKC 01/25/2014 #

Just to let you all know, I am reviewing participants today and will make assignments as soon as I can. It's a simple swap with no craft or mail involved, but I do still want to be sure we have a great group here.

@coolscabin , I will let you know if it works when you try it out. :)

@Lori76 , I'm not sure what you mean by "heart design", but it is late so I might be missing something. :) You will need to know how to make the bracket, which looks like this [ ], and the parenthesis ( ) on your phone. The only URL you will type is the one from your URL line when you are on Pinterest and have your Valentine's Board pulled up. You can write that on paper, and then type it where you need to when the swap starts. When the swap starts, if you need help, I can help you.

Momdwl 01/25/2014 #

@karlaKC I am not sure I did it right!? I sent you a message

Just incase anyone else wants to check out my board: Be Mine Valentine <3 I hope you enjoy! ~Elysia

Here's my board Valentine's Day

KarlaKC 01/28/2014 #

Thank you for sharing your boards here! That's a great idea! And yes, @druideye , your link worked! Love your board and the title you gave it, too!

As a reminder, everyone remember to send your links via PM or on your partners' Profile pages in the Comment section. No one should be sending emails. You face a possible 3 rating from your partner if you don't meet the swap requirements stated above, and a 3 on a Pinterest swap would be silly, don't you think? ;)

Love all the boards I've been seeing! Thank you to those who are not my partners but who have been sending them to me anyway via PM or in my Comments or even here on the Swap Page. So many great ideas! And I must say the vintage Valentines are a favorite. I never thought of adding those to my board! :)
