It’s Best of the Welcome party time! A hug and warm welcome if this is your first time joining us!
Welcome from your BOTW weekend hosts – we are so happy you are here. I am trying to slowly and gently get back to my blog and please forgive me for not having any features this week, except for our most-clicked link. As many of you know, I unexpectedly lost my wonderful husband of 33 years on October 4; the shock, sadness and loss has been overwhelming for me and my family. The outpouring of love and support from my dear blogger friends has been incredible and please know that it has meant so very much to me. I know that all of you will be patient with me as I try to find my way in a foreign and frightening world without my best friend.
I would love if you could please follow each of our fabulous hosts in some way.

When you link up to Best of the Weekend, your posts will be be seen on all five of our blogs. We have a Pinterest Best of the Weekend Features board, where we’re pinning all of our features each week. I also pin, tweet and share as many of your fabulous posts as possible all week long, which I love doing! 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, all of us will feature the most clicked link and our favorites, so be sure to stop by all five of our blogs to see if you were featured!
Our most clicked link from last week was…Kim’s cozy and stylish fall bedroom.

Though we don’t have any rules, we really hope you’ll take a few minutes to visit some links, pin a few things and most of all, make a few new friends. I promise to have features next week and know that seeing all of your inspiration will be a much-needed distraction for me and bring a bit of sunshine to me, too!
