Top three links at the newbie party, and a RANT!

Good morning everyone!

 hope this day finds you all well, and COOL! Well, COOL I am not. Crazy hot here in the South this summer.

Wanted to share my top three most clicked on links at the newbie party this week.

I have a few concerns first I would LIKE to mention, and this is mostly for the newbies. 

FIRST off do realize I do this party, for you. I started it because, I know how it is to be a new blogger, and I know how you feel to be a fish out of water.

My gratification is that, I get to see your blogs grow, and I too make new friends along the way. 

  I pay to have Mr. Linky, and I take my time to visit every link, and comment on the most that I can.
   

SEEMS, my guidelines are not being met by many who link up.

I should NOT have to remind anyone at this point to add my link or button, yet week after week, I DO.

I have decided I am just going to delete the entry, I am sorry to say.

WORD VERIFICATION....

Many hosts have asked time and time again to please turn it off.

I have also decided, I am just not going to COMMENT on those posts anymore...

way too time consuming, and really an unnecessary feature on the comment section.

OK, enough of my soap box, let's get these features underway.....Hope you understand my rant, but I felt validation  to address it.

 I Have tutorials and blogging tips HERE, if you are new to blogging,  they certainly will benefit you to read them.

My Friend Dee, is on a real creative flow these days...

check out these cute pillows she is making...

She has some great tutorial as well..so go check it out.

 Next up....

JAN.

  Jan took us on a little tour in to Bon, Secour, Alabama. Lots of history there, not to mention these awesome homes.

 

Last on the list today, but never least...

TRICIA, 

who shared her little cottage tour with us...

 Tricia has a charming home, and she is a great decorator...

so hop on over girls, and welcome these newbies if you have not already.

Thank you...have a great day!

PLEASE NOTE I have postponed the MAGAZINE COPY CAT CHALLENGE...

I have a lot going on this month with the boys, and we are getting ready for back to school.
 It has been a wonderful summer, however, I look so very forward to FALL..my favorite time of year.

If I blabbed about you, please feel free to grab my button.

One more blab for the day...

You only have a few days left to get in the MOUNTAIN of GIVEAWAY, so go throw your name in the hat

Let's get it started AGAIN, let's get it started again......

FYI, the hosts actually need to pay to have these partay's now.
It was free for sometime, but I totally understand with the growing amount of blogs and parties, Brett just could not do it anymore.

Newbie party is going strong!

Hi there!
Linking this post to Somewhat simple party!
I have been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now.
This IN FACT, is the first newbie Linkie party ever in all of the land. Blog land that is.
This is for blogs 6 months or less, and/or under  100 followers.

I have a good feeling you will make lots of new blogging friendships from this day forward. 

Make blogging whatever you want it to be. My husband just asked me today "Is blogging still a labor of love for you"? My answer was Yes!
There is creativity everywhere. Just look around, it is like looking at the best of magazines, except with people like you and I who are the authors and illustrators.

Make it your own, well, you can copy, but just shout it out that you did so....

After all this is blogland. Where else to come for inspiration? And for me, imitation is truly the biggest form of flattery!

 There is one thing, that not one person in all of the land, can ever duplicate or knock off, and that would be your PERSONALITY!
So let it shine, shine shine!

Have fun!

Enjoy,  and visit one another. If you feel a connection, follow along. 

This is your day!

Just have fun girls...now take it away!

MY button recently disappeared. So if you have one on your blog, you may need to re add it. It is a mystery what exactly happened!
 

 In case you were wondering..Yes  I was playing with Mod today!

Speaking of Mod.  Have you ever been to Mod Podge rocks blog? Since I discovered her blog last year, I fell in love with the stuff.  She in fact has been a big source of inspiration for my crafting!
  She will even show you tutorials on mod podge. You can mod just about anything these days.
Here are just a few of mine:

Sugar and Spice
Holiday ornaments
Loving the Mod
Just call me Mod


I have several more, but you get the gist!
