blogger!)

Winner

One winner will be chosen, from all boards who have a complete list, via random selection by Inlinkz.

Prize

The winner will receive the awesome, amazing, EPIC prize of having their button/ad run on each of the three hosts pages for 1 month for FREE! THAT IS A $50 VALUE!

I simply cannot wait to see what all of you guys come up with! Just think of all of the informative posts we are ALL about to read! That is a prize in itself in my opinion! I mean really, we have a ton of people doing research on how to make our blogs better! This is going to be amazing!

COMMENT LETTING ME KNOW WHICH PINTEREST BOARDS ARE YOUR FAVORITES! ALSO LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND A PIN TO FIT A LETTER, WE CAN HELP! You can get creative with how you name your pins so that you can get each letter! Just because a post is about Twitter doesn’t mean it has to be under T. You could name is Playful Twitter Tips or something 🙂

PS: I am going to enable voting at the end of the hunt so that I can see how it works. You will only be able to vote once the hunt is complete and you cannot vote for yourself. I would like to do the next hunt with the winner chosen by vote, however, I felt the need to test this feature before using it. Thank you for helping me test it! You have two votes 🙂
