::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
~Visit Kate for tips on Holiday Housekeeping

~Love this Chalkboard Play Table!

~ Sarah's Halloween Mice Silhouettes are baaaaack...and they have some bling this time.

~Swooning over Kim's Entry Built-Ins.

~And Me? This week featured:
      Time to link up your best post of the week. Please remember that this party is dedicated to showcasing your best post of the week--we've had some issues with people linking up 10 or more posts each week, and some of them for multiple weeks in a row. Maybe you posted 10 times this week and they are all fantastic, but if you could pick just one or two to share, that would be great!

      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. 
      • 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:

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

      What are you up to this weekend?

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

        I love your Fancy Nancy makeover. :)

        We're wrapping up soccer this weekend - final games, two parties, plus a little birthday celebration. It'll be a busy one! Enjoy yours.

        Hey girl! I must say I loved your makeover post. Your other posts this week are good, too--of course! Every week is good around here.

        I haven't done a good job of joining you in October--the 31 day challenge has whipped my tail! But today I'm joining to share today's post. I'm going to host a "Best of 31 Days" party on Monday, 10/31. I hope it's okay that I linked up the post with that announcement. (If not, you can just let me know; I would never want to abuse your hospitality here.)

        Hope you have a great weekend! Love you!

        I love the chalkboard play table. My boys would have loved this 20 years ago. On second thought, maybe the 23 year old would still love playing with it.
        Thanks for hosting a great party!

        Thank you so much for including our entry storage in your round-up. Talk about making my day. And we love it, too! If you come visit, you'll have a place to put your coat where it will be safe from dog hair. ;) (Always the best host over here.)

      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! :)
