::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! Please don't forget the Shaklee Giveaway!

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

~Footboard Turned Fireplace Mantel

~Chalkboard Place Cards and Thanksgiving Crafts

~Rustic Butternut Squash Sage Pizza

~Html Code Fix for Disappearing "Followers" Widget (Note: My GFC widget had been disappearing on and off for several months, resulting in a loss of traffic--new readers don't have the patience to click around for a Followers gadget to pop back up. I used the code from Abbie and the problem was immediately fixed! Always be sure to back up your blog and template before working with the html code. Abbie is also running a wonderful contest/giveaway to help a ministry to orphans in Uganda--worth checking out!)

~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.

        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:
        Weekend Bloggy Reading





        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 need to go check out that code! I noticed that my followers widget takes a while to load sometimes...and I've lost like 3 followers since last night! Thanks for hosting Amanda! I linked up my Pilgrim & Indian Initial Tees:)

          Hey girl! I've been ridiculously busy this week sewing stuff for my guest room, so I linked up my post about that. It's a good thing I finally finished, because our Thanksgiving guests arrive on Wednesday!

          Hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend, Amanda! Thank you for hosting this party every week.

          Hi Amanda! My computer pretty much died last week, so I couldn't link up last week. My sweetie of a stepdaughter left me her laptop, so I got a post done and am all linked up!! I'll have to go back and read your post from this week. Thanks soo much for hosting! I just love your party. =)

          Have a great weekend!

          Thank you for hosting such a fun linky party. I haven't linked up in awhile, so I'm hoping 3 links isn't too many?! Loving your picks this week and enjoying your post on your Thanksgiving table.

        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! :)
