::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
~Experienced and new bloggers alike will learn a thing or two from Jen’s realistic thoughts and tips on blogging.

~I love a simple sewing tutorial. Elizabeth can show you how to cut a pattern.

~Pay a visit to Chris from Just a Girl to see how she made this cozy sweater wreath.

~Tis the season for apple picking. And with all those apples you can… can some applesauce! Follow this canning tutorial from Oopsey Daisy.

~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!

          Nutella Pumpkin bread? How did I miss that post? I have a recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip bread that I love, but Nutella may be taking it to a whole new level of deliciousness. Thanks for hosting! Also, sorry to be such a lurker lately. Things are a little too busy around our house, so something's (blogging) gotta give.

          After writing so many posts in October, it was nice to hardly blog at all last week--but that means I don't really have anything worth linking! Oh, well. I'm hoping this week will be better. I'm trying to remember that it's okay just to put up a little thought or share something funny. I finally DID remember that with my post about the football on the hearth, and it's gotten several comments! I still have so much to learn. . . .

          Hope you've had a great weekend, dear friend!

        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! :)
