Hey y'all,

Just a little heads up.  We're going to be doing Christmas in July again!  Yea!  We didn't get to do it last year.  :( So hopefully y'all will help us make up for that by lots of participation!  

What's Christmas in July?  Glad you asked.  I'm sure you already know, but on this blog, we will be doing a CHRISTMAS ONLY link up!  Starting  July 7 and going through the end of the month.  So get all of your Christmas posts ready.  New, old, whatever!  We like them all, as long as they're Christmas related and family-friendly!  :)

Hope y'all will join us!  Let's have the best Christmas in July link up ever!  :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!  :)

 

COUNTDOWN TO FALL!!!!!!

  Welcome to the sixth and final week of our Countdown to Fall link party!  What a fun link party it has been!  Y'all have linked up some pretty amazing things!  Can't wait till we can feature some of our favorites!   Next Monday we will be featuring link-ups from each week!  Be sure and stop by and see if you're featured!  

 Also, we have a favor to ask.  We have loved hosting this link-up!  We have been able to meet so many wonderful bloggers this way and we want to continue to meet bloggers!  So we would like to start up another link party, but can't decide on a theme.  If you have any ideas please don't be shy.  Let use know by leaving a comment!  

  We really appreciate your participation!  

Keep up all of the great work!  Y'all are so creative!  :)

  All you have to do is (1)share what you love about fall on your blog/fall craft/fall post etc., (2) place our button somewhere on your blog and (3)it would be nice if you would visit a couple of other bloggies who participate as well! (4) We would also LOVE if you'd follow us, but it's not required.  Since we're nice like that! :)   

PLEASE ONLY LINK UP THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO FALL! :)  IF YOUR LINK IS NOT FALL RELATED, WE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE IT.  I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S MEAN RIGHT?  BUT SO IS NOT FOLLOWING YOUR HOSTS REQUESTS. SO PLEASE, DON'T MAKE US HAVE TO BE MEAN!  :)
