::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to Weekend Bloggy Reading. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love!

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
~Tanya transformed a plain knife block into her own personal sketch pad with some chalkboard paint.

~This gallery wall from 320 Sycamore holds years of family memories. Melissa successfully completed a look that appears to have been assembled over time.

~Hand out treats in style on the 31st with these free Halloween printables from Living Locurto.

~Kate shared a recipe for White Bean with Bacon Soup. Yes, please!

~I found a few helpful tips on Holiday Planning over at Ann Marie's.

~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.
  • No items for sale, shops, etc. and please don't link up the same post week after week. 
  • Please visit some of the other links--that's how a good blog party works--participation!

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.

I have some crafting planned for this weekend and hoping to get my family room spruced up a bit!

What are you up to this weekend?

I hope to be back tomorrow with some highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!

    Happy Friday, Amanda! Always a good day when we can Pin and browse through these great ideas:)

    LOVE the gallery wall, especially that it's different and not matchy, matchy. Great inspiration for me who has a hard time thinking "outside the box!"

    That soup looks so good! It just need to get a little cooler down here for it to be soup season:) Our weekend is full of football again...but maybe I can squeeze in a little crafting! Have a great weekend Amanda!

    Thanks so much for hosting this party for us! I love looking back over your posts for the week too. I have a metal door so the packing tape trick is great for me. Your girls are super cute!

    This is such a neat idea! Thanks for hosting. I found your site while looking for brown butter salted cookies to try to recreate ones I used to get at a small shop in Northwest Washington. I plan on trying yours next week! I'm a newish blogger living in Camarillo and love that you're just up in Santa Barbara. I'd love to meet up with some local bloggers if you're ever up for it.

    Oops...sorry. That's what happens when I try to write something first thing in the morning. Clearly you don't live in Cali, but your blog and ideas are lovely and if you ever visited I'd love to meet up!

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! :)
