New Boards and other changes

In order to make pinning a bit easier, I changed the names of all the boards to begin with the year, then the month, then the day and/or event name. Please follow this format if you create new boards. 

I also added some miscellaneous boards for 2009 and 2010 in which pictures can be pinned for a starting point, and then later sorted into individual month or event boards, should that become necessary.

Given that they were engaged and married and then very active during the years of 2011 and 2012, I did not create those boards yet because I'm sure there will be much more need for individual boards once we get caught up to that point. But feel free to create those boards if you wish.  


This isn't as easy as I thought it would be!

Moving on

You know, I'm really enjoying digging up all these old photos of Kate. That being said, I really can't wait to get to her more sophisticated days... the more current events and pics. She's grown and matured so much!!

take a quick look:





And NO, I do not think she had a nose job. Faces and bone structure changes as you grow and age people. I should know. I had a round, short stubby nose for most of my childhood, teens, and young adulthood. Not that I'm in my 30s, my face is much more elongated and my nose looks visibly thinner. She is perfectly normal and naturally beautiful. Nuf said.

Where to find pictures of Kate






As you can see, I've been simultaneously trying to keep up with her current activities (thank Prince George that she's keeping a low profile right now!) while also working from the beginning of her life to the present. There are a few great timelines available, as well as blogs with photos. *The one I've been working my way through currently is: http://waity-katie.skyrock.com/ It's not the most complimentary of her in opinion, but it has a lot of really great photos from the past.(*this source has been exhausted*)

Here are a some other good sources I've found for pics of Kate:

(misc albums)

It's best to start with a news source, or find something that has the most pictures, pin all of those, and then look for other photos that weren't included, as opposed to finding one photo at a time, piecemeal. Please email me if this does not make sense:

READ THE RULES 1ST


Do NOT pin to this board. 
Do NOT pin anything until you have read the full rules. 

(this applies to those who pinned to the helper board before reading the post I said would be up on Monday. If you're not the culprit, then disregard)

Rules for pinning


Please read the following rule and guidelines before posting to the Love Kate Project pinterest boards:

It is my goal to collect as many pictures of the Duchess as possible. Therefore, all possible photos from the event or day should be pinned, even if they are a series of minor variances such as Kate’s hand position, smile, or posture etc. This is a bit like playing the kids picture game where you try to find what’s different from one picture to the next. If you can’t tell what’s different, use the surroundings and backdrop as clues. Is someone’s face obscured slightly more? Is the camera at a different angle? Are the shadows different? However, be careful not to pin duplicate photos unless one is significantly closer up than its twin. If there are multiple versions of a photo (ie – cropped to show only Kate vs the entire photo) use the largest, most inclusive photo available. If the photo is from far away, a close up duplicate would be acceptable in this case. This is especially pertinent since Kate often wears the same outfit, or pieces of an outfit she has worn before, so you really must pay attention to those little details.

For each set of pins for a particular day/event, make sure at least one has details of the event in the description section. For the rest, delete all text from this box and insert a single space. DO NOT pin to random boards. DO NOT pin to the "helper" boards. You will have access to create boards and pin to them yourself, once you read the full rules.



Remember we are documenting history. Please be respectful of the subject. Photos that might be considered “private” but are fundamentally “decent” ie Kate in her bathing suit at Ibiza will be allowed, but (although I doubt this will occur ever again) nothing indecent, ie intimate body parts exposed, major wardrobe malfunction, etc.



Do not pin pictures of Will, Pippa, Harry, or anyone else, unless Kate is actually in the picture with them. Do not pin pictures of her outfit, accessories etc, or where to buy them, there are bloggers out there who do that and is not my intent. Pictures which do not have Kate’s face clearly visible will be subject to scrutiny, and I will decide whether to keep them or not. (ie a shopper “randomly” sees her walk by and posts a pic of her backside… no offense to anyone, but this is a questionable source in my opinion.)

If you pin something to the wrong board, please move it to the correct board as soon as you notice. I’ve done this myself of course, but we should try to avoid it for our followers.

If you need a new board, feel free to create one, however, unless it is a large-scale event with a lot of 50 photos, or something monumental, please name the board with the month and year, not the event. Be sure to follow the naming template already in place. Generally if there is one smallish event in the month with a smattering of other pap shots, I’ll stick to the month. As Kate gets more busy (or while archiving past months/years when she was busier before the pregnancy), I realize this may have to change though. It's still a work in progress!

This can be painstaking and tedious. If you don't have time to finish pinning a large amount of photos, please make sure you finish it as soon as you can at a later time.
