Welcome to Best of the Weekend and a hug of welcome from Claire, Lisa, Nichi and me! I can’t even believe it’s the last party of May – HOW can it be June already? The summer celebration season really kicks into full swing now! Lots of things popping in June – kids out of school, Dad’s day, graduations, vacations and gearing up the red, white & blue. Oh, and the BOTW gals have a little surprise brewing for June, too, but you’ll have to wait until next week! Let’s close out the month of May in big-time creative style!
When you link up to Best of the Weekend, your posts will be be seen on all FOUR of our blogs. Our party board on Pinterest is huge and we’ll be pinning your fantastic projects and recipes, plus tweeting and sharing as many of your posts as we can for lots of added exposure. As always, to my wonderful non-blogging friends – just click on any picture in the link-up and it will take you straight to the blog of the talented person who so generously shared with us!
Each week, Claire, Lisa, Nichi and I will 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, Lisa here and Nichi here!
Some of our best blogging buddies keep the party going all weekend long – hope you’ll join me at these parties tomorrow!
Let me just say how seriously AMAZING you all are! It’s nearly impossible to pick features from the talent at this party and wow, do we feel lucky to have you join us! Pick we must and it’s time to turn on the spotlight for our features, please!!
