An October Pinterest War: Battle 1 Results

Posted on October 7, 2013October 6, 2013 by Katie Ganshert

Last spring, fellow contemporary romance author, Becky Wade and I engaged in a Pinterest War, wherein we took turns challenging one another to various Pinterest endeavors. It was….not pretty, but definitely amusing! If Becky and I proved anything, I think we proved that neither of us are going to win a crafty award or adorable family picture award anytime soon.

Nonetheless, a new war has been declared!

The first battle?

A messy bun.

We announced it on our Facebook Pages last Friday.

And the results are in….

I must say, we were both pleasantly surprised that our hair looks…..dare I say it? Kinda cute! What was even more surprising was how incredibly easy this was to pull off. It required two hairbands, a couple bobby pins, some hair spray, about three minutes total – and voila!

Who wants to play along? (Check out this tutorial)

Becky is giving away FOUR brand new books as a prize (one of her books, along with three Bethany House books). To enter to win, all you have to do is give this Pinterest challenge a try and post a picture of your results on my Facebook page or Becky’s by midnight, Wednesday.

We’ll choose a winner on Thursday and announce that winner on our Facebook pages on Friday, along with our second Pinterest battle!

We hope you enjoy following our October Pinterest War!

Let’s Talk: What say you – who won this first battle? Are you a fan of messy buns?

Battle Eight Results: Undeniably Yours

Becky got her arm position right.

But I think I win in the shoe department.

Nevertheless, this one was downright fun! Even our hubbies agree.

Now for the real fun. The outtakes.

Let me tell you, I just about died when Becky sent me this. Gives a whole new meaning to undeniably yours…

This one isn’t nearly as funny. But worth noting that our 4-year old son took the picture. He told us to, “Be dinosaurs.” Hence, our faces….

On behalf of Becky and myself, we hope you’ve enjoyed this ongoing Pinterest War. Maybe we didn’t discover any new hairstyles or make up tips, but we sure had some laughs.

Who won?

C’mon folks. Does winning really matter? (Says the girl who probably lost.)

All that matters is how we played the game, right?

No?

Okay, fine.

Becky Wade may be taking home the trophy this year. But perhaps we’ll be battling again. And she should know, if that ever happens, that I won’t go easy on her the next time.

Thanks to everyone who followed along and participated!

Remember, you have until Tuesday, May 7th to participate in this final battle. Check out this link for details.

Three winners will be contacted when I’m back on American soil!

Congrats Becky, my friend! I’m so excited about the release of Undeniably Yours!

Let’s Talk: Which battle did you enjoy the most?

Due to the inevitable curse that is jet lag, I will be taking a blogging break the week of May 6th through the 10th. I’ll contact the three winners via email on Wednesday, May 8th!
