Hello all my friends out in Cyberland! I hope you are having a great week and have avoided the dreaded flu bug! Yuck! :-(
We woke up to some sleet and a little snow here in east Texas, so my grandson and I are staying in today out of the weather. He is three months now and I've been reminded what a massive endeavor it is to go ANYWHERE with a baby. God bless all you Moms with little ones out there! I feel you!
So, let's get on to our features this week, but before I get started I would like to explain a little about link parties, for those who are new at linking up.
First, just so you know (unless your lucky like my friend that has her own blog and won a years worth of link parties) it cost money to run a link party.
Second, it takes a lot of work out of your week to set it up, visit people that have taken time to link up (and I appreciate all of you who have been so faithful) and just do little things to promote the party so everyone will get a few visitors.
Third, the main purpose of the party is to get people to visit the hostess's blog, your blog, and to get people to visit the other post that are listed in the party. So, in a perfect world everyone wins. :-)
That is why we ask that you put the link for our parties on the same page as the post to get people back to the party from your blog. If you put the back link on another page it would be very rare for someone to find it.
Fourth, you should thank the host or hostess for hosting the party and visit at least one other blogger to share the love.
I hope that clears things up for those of you that aren't familiar with how it works. Now on to our features this week.
I'm so proud that although we did not have as many entries this week we had a record number of hits and everyone received several visits! For a small party that is great! Thanks everyone!
Your favorite post this week was Penny's Treasures's tips for decorating on the cheap. You really found some great deals and some lovely ones too Penny! Thanks for sharing.
Lulu's Musing shared her bright and cheery bedroom makeover. I love the little distressed tables Lulu and aren't those little chairs adorable?!
Shannon at Sewing Barefoot shared her tutorial on making this cute crochet hook holder. I definitely need one of these.
