Welcome to the Best of the Weekend party! A warm TGIF welcome from me, Claire, from A Little Claireification and Lisa, from Cooking with Curls. It’s always so much fun to see both our old friends and lots of new friends joining us each week and I’m just tickled pink that you kick off your weekend sharing a little fun and a lot of inspiration with us!
When you link up to Best of the Weekend, your posts will be seen on all three of our blogs. Our party board on Pinterest is just amazing – because it’s filled with all the incredible things you share! We are pinning your fantastic projects and recipes, plus tweeting and sharing on Facebook for lots of added exposure. My regular reminder for my wonderful non-blogging friends – just click on a picture and it will take you straight to the blog of the talented person who so generously shared with us!
Claire, Lisa and I each feature the most clicked link and our favorites, so be sure to stop by all three of our blogs to see if you were featured! Visit Claire here and Lisa here!
How about a little orange tinted spotlight for our features? Plus lots of applause!
Our most clicked link last week was Holly’s amazingly courageous and (continually) inspiring story.

Ladies, congratulations and a big thank you for sharing with us! Please grab a button from the sidebar. Of course, big hugs and thanks all around to everyone for joining the party last week!
And now it’s time to rock this party – we are so excited to see how you’ll inspire us this week! Please read the guidelines before linking up. Thanks in advance for being awesome like that:
- Please follow the three party hosts in some capacity {Blog, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, G+, etc}. We work super hard to make this party awesome and to make sure that you are all pinned every week too! Thank you!
- If you have time to add a link back or add our party button to your post (button on the sidebar!) we will, of course gush all over you . If you just don’t have that kind of time, please just mention the party on some form of social media. Cool? Thanks.
- You may link up to THREE posts but please make sure it’s YOUR work and no giveaways, link parties, or anything you are selling. Also, feel free to link an older post but please don’t link the same post within a 6 month period {because then it’s all “that was, like… SO yesterday}. ?
- Lastly, and we are big sticklers about this (sorry, but there you have it), please DO take a second to “PAY IT FORWARD” and click on the link right before you and say something nice. It only takes a second to encourage someone else and I think we ALL know how great it is to get a sweet comment on something we worked on. It just puts a little spring in your step, so please share the love.
That’s it. Easy, right? Let’s rock this party!
