Hello Everyone! Well as I’m sure you noticed I took last week off to concentrate on Christmas with my family. I realized about two days ago that maybe I should have sent out an Email letting everyone know that. I am very sorry if you popped over to link up and there was… well nothing to link to. Growing pains and all that. I hope that Christmas was everything that you and your family wished for and that you all had a wonderful time! With the Sandy Hook Tragedy still so fresh on our minds I think Christmas held a little more promise, a little more joy and certainly a little more love!
I really think that a Linky Party should benefit all those involved and not just the Host. I hope that you have all seen The Pins on my Pinterest Page under Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s. If you link up you WILL BE PINNED! As this party grows and the word is spread that means really great exposure for all of you! So please Grab a button and spread the word about this linky party the more that see this the more that will see YOU!
As each week goes by I can see that this is going to be harder and harder to highlight some of the amazing recipes and crafts that you link up! I am trying really hard to make sure that I spread the love around. There maybe some weeks where you will see the same blog with different posts highlighted two weeks in a row. I am going to do my best to keep that to a minimum so that everyone gets their time in the sun. Just like last week and every week going forward, each post that is highlighted will get Tweeted and Shared on my Facebook page. So again the more traffic that you can help me drive to my Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter pages the more people that will see your wonderful creations!
