::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to my Weekend Bloggy Reading link party. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love. Please be sure to read my guidelines before you add a link.

All kinds of posts are welcome--recipes, crafts, funny stories, home decor, etc.; but please do not link to Etsy shops, businesses, items for sale, etc. (I have a Sponsors section, if you'd like to Advertise with me.)

Here are a few of my faves from this week:


sources listed below

~Pottery Barn-Inspired Peony Lampshade via Sweet C's Designs

~Shirt to Skirt Refashion via Whipperberry

~Fighting the "Wants" via Reluctant Entertainer

~Painted Stained Table via Infarrantly Creative


~And Me? This week featured:

    Time to link up your best post of the week!



    Rules:
    • Please link back to me within your post. I will not feature your link if you don't link back to me.*
    • No items for sale, shops, etc. and please don't link up the same post week after week. 
    • Remember this party is for your best post of the week. Don't link up 10 posts...that's really not in the spirit of this party.
    • Visit some of the other links--that's how a good blog party works--participation!
    *A text link-back (ex- Linking to Serenity Now) is fantastic, but here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that rather than a text link-back:
    Weekend Bloggy Reading







    Party is open until 10 pm (ET) on Sunday night.

    What are you up to this weekend?

    My birthday is tomorrow, but I don't know that we really have any plans for it. Tough month combined with the fact that T will be working all day. Maybe I'll treat the girls and myself to a donut in the morning.

      Thanks so much for hosting Amanda! I actually had two posts to link up this week...and my video post was kind of inspired by the one you shared yesterday. Or at least watching your's gave me the courage to try and make one:) I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow!

      Happy Birthday, Amanda! A doughnut and mocha are definitely in order and that is just to start your day.

      I'm always glad to know I'm not the only one with a Saturday working hubby. Sigh!

      Thanks for the party. I'm late but it has been a busy day! :)

    I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
