Get Instagram Followers
Jachel - Yay!! Excited to see your pictures on Instagram. I’m @jachel
Penny Smith - (OK, now that you have 560 followers in one DAY, are you gonna follow any of use back? Just sayin’! 🙂 )
Penny Smith - I have over 1000 pictures with it now… teamed up with the “Postal Pix” app, I order the square 4″x4″ and 5″x5″ right from my phone, and they are at my door (and what I scrapbook with 80% of the time lately!) in a couple days! Check out THIS awesome idea too! http://pinterest.com/pin/45599014947431063/
Hard not to love Instagram!!
Kelly - Glad to hear my favorite blog is now on instagram! Looking forward to seeing your colorful pictures on my feed 🙂
@kellygonz
Brittany - LOOOOOVE Instagram! I was actually just thinking this morning…”I wonder if Meg is on Instagram?” YAY that you are! I will follow 🙂
Mine is @brittany_turco, if you want to follow me back. I am private, but I will approve you 😉
Shannon - Whoop Whoop-Instagram! The icon at the top right that is a teardrop makes it blur with various effects. For either one, you can manipulate the blur. I.E., for the straight line, you can twist it to suit your desired effect. I use two fingers on the screen to turn it. Also, the circle one can be shrunk or expanded. My fav instagram effect. Have fun! I’m fairly new to it too @shannonaphotography.
Emily - I am traveling internationally for work and my iphone doesn’t work. The thing is miss the most is Instagram! It’s super easy and you will love it! If you’re looking for people to follow, I’m @emilytutorialtrials
Have fun!
Marianne - gorgeous flowers! I hear you on being wiped. I don’t know how you do it!
Lauren - Instagram is my fave! I’m @lthomas0913 (Lauren Thomas).
I have it linked to both my FB and Twitter, so it’s a one stop shop!
LO - I Love instagram AND you can link it to your facebook and twitter!
katey - Love instagram! kateydeasy I take pictures of things that are beautiful to me. It rocks! Glad you are there too!
Ashley - Pic stitch is an awesome free app I am learning to use together with instagram. It makes cool collages with your pics 😉 I love that it’s a collection of awesome pics and when you hashtag something you can see other cool pics too! @anorth0925 follow me!
Jamie M. - I am on Instagram, I waited very not patiently for it to come to android. Just jump in and take lots of pictures, you will love it!!
betsy - Check out all the cool things you can do with Instagram on Pinterest. I also agree with the Diptic app … tons of fun!
I think Instagram allows me to add more creativity to my photography. I also suggest interacting with other IG users, because you can gain a lot from their pics and comments.
See you around there … I’m @betsymck!
Suz - p.s. one word Printstagram.
Suz - instagram addict here, it takes cooler pics than my camera, I have it on my ipod touch, so no monthly bills. Get the app Diptic and you can make cool little collages out of your photos..have .fun!
Lori Austin - You sleep and we’ll wait patiently for the craft weekend post 🙂
Pat - WHY IS EVERYBODY ON INSTAGRAM? I DON’T GET IT – WHY SO MANY DIFFERENT SPOTS TO CHECK? MEG – I LOVE YOUR BLOG AND THAT’S WHERE I’LL FOLLOW YOU ALWAYS!

shea B - Lovely blooms! And I’m like that every Monday without having come off a craft weekend. And I only have two kids. You are Super Woman!
I love IG. @sheabrislin if you wanna see random photos of projects, adorable little girls, and a smashed finger. 🙂 Happy resting!
Angie Knopp - First time commenter here. I feel downright silly that the thing that pulled me out of lurker status was in fact Instagram! I actually come to your little internet spot quite often. I just love everything about your sweet spirit! Yay for Instagram!! Can’t wait to follow you on there 🙂 I’m angiepics….
XOXO,
Angie from Ohio
Maria - I’m on there…@princessmia
I only have a few pics on there…I like to use the diptic app with it to make little collages…
Can’t wait to hear more about craft weekend…
Trying to drop this Monday headache I’ve had all day…2 weeks till summer break here!
Shannon - i love instagram!!! just added you. @shannonjoy06. i’ll share another really fun app i just found!
it’s called picstitch and allows you to do quick collages and post them. woot woot!!!!have a good recovery day!
megan@contentedsparrow - instagram is my favorite fave! i rarely go on FB anymore and have never had twitter. it’s just a visual, friendly place. i just followed you. i’m @contentedsparrow.
as for awesome hints….
besides taking pics right with the instagram cam, you can take your pics with whatever camera app you prefer and upload them to instagram. i use camera+ a lot because i love all the fun filters/actions. and then to get them onto instagram, while you’re in picture taking mode, click on the little photo stack thingy on the left to access your camera roll photos to choose from. my favorite instagram feature is the spot focus thing…..it’s the teardrop on the top right. use it ALL the time….it ROCKS.
will look forward to seeing more of you, meg.
xoxo
Mindy Harris - i don’t have a smart phone; gotta cut corners somewhere. pretty peonies!
stephany - I am on instagram and like it so much more than twitter…and I can just post my instagram stuff directly to my twitter account…kills two birds with one stone.
@homeisablog
I’m now following you!
Craft Weekend looked amazing as usual…can’t wait until my name is picked from the hat! 😉
Lindsay F. - I already spotted you on instagram this weekend! How fun! I’m @ellejfendy! I use snapseed for additional editing, framestastic for collages and phonto to add text to my pictures. It’s fun having a little editing “suite” on your phone! 🙂
Jenna@CallHerHappy - i started following you on instagram this weekend. i had to get my craft weekend fix! i’m @callherhappy! also, some tips: it is fun to use other photo editing apps combined together to get funky looks and then upload them to instgram!
Dani - I have been pondering instagram. I see it all over facebook. I may have to check it out.
Suzanne - I love instagram! I am @lifemadejoyful. I saw your two pics – and they were wonderful – thanks to kimberlee’s tip off that you were on ig. Welcome – but beware of the ig addiction!
ko. s - Yay for getting you on instagram! Heading off to find you now 🙂
Oh, and using picframe to edit pictures before posting on instagram helps a ton. Lots of ways to do collages instead of just a million single pictures 🙂
Kerry - man oh man, I wish I had Instagram!!!
Looking forward to your weekend post 🙂
xx
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - I love instagram!
I am @songskatesang on instagram!

Pic Stitch, picframe, picfx are all awesome. postalpix is great for printing your IG photos.
@joyshope is a rockstar instagrammer! (imho)

Jacci in Ohio - I’m on 🙂 @mrsmogun – but I’m private, so if you tried to follow me back igram would just wait for my approval before my pics showed up in your feed. Hope you get some good rest!!!
Kristin S - Just followed you. Welcome!
Jeannine - Just signed up with Instagram myself, and uhh, I’m clueless! I totally fail as a 24 year old.
Glad craft weekend looks like it went well! I’d love to go one day… it always looks like you girls have so much fun 🙂 I don’t even know how to use my sewing machine yet, so I guess I’d have to figure that out first!
Hannah - Instagram is awesome! I was so excited when they made an app for Androids:) My name is hannahlynnlesley:)
4 Fab Franklins - Oh Meg, I’m right there with ya! I hardly ever use Twitter and I’ve recently joined instagram as well. I have 4 pictures on there and my only follower so far is my daughter. I don’t quite understand it yet, I’m hoping it will flow with use….ya know? …and to be quite honest, I’m getting to the point where I’m over facebook.
I am so bummed you wont be taking my family pictures this summer, but I so completely understand your reasons. I don’t know what I will miss most…the pictures or getting to actually meet you.
Have a great week!
Rachel J - Yay! I’m so glad you are on there now! I am on there too @faithfulcitymouse. The best part of being on Instagram is being able to see what your friends/family/blog love is doing and their fab pictures. You can also tag your friends/followers so they can see what you are capturing or writing. I hope you will follow me too! 🙂
beth e. - i also just recently joined instagram, but mostly so i could take those cool little square pic’s with the different borders and grainy vintage effects i keep seeing all over blog land, and maybe even print off some photo strips i see everywhere….but what am i actually supposed to ‘do’ with instagram……i have yet to figure that out! i’ll be following the comments closely, maybe someone out there can shed some light!
stephanie - I am on instagram and LOVE it. (@stephanieshep) So fun. : )
Mandy - I love instagram!! I’m at @amandajwagner. Can’t wait to see your pix!

Pink and Green Mama MaryLea - Can’t wait to see photos and sorry I wasn’t able to join you fabulous crafty ladies (this time) I DID remodel my kitchen and paint my whole hall/stairwell/kitchen/dining room this weekend though so I’m with you on the exhaustion front but also completely blissed out about my new, fresh space!
xoxo

becky@oursweetpeas - Glad the wknd went well. I too am on instagram although relatively new to actually using it. I am roddfam5.
Tiffany - I now have to google, how to grow my own peonies. Sleep in Sweets, we’ll wait, craft weekend pics are always worth it:) Happy Monday.
Sara Torbett - I am also on Instragram..but clueless too!! I need to learn. I imagine the feeling after CW is like that of being a kid and the fun sleepover is…….Over. 🙁 You must be tired too after all your hard work! Can’t wait to see pics :).
