Happy day to you, friends!
We are now in the new year of 2015 - exciting, isn't it!
This year I will celebrate three happy years of blogging.
Thanks to you sweeties, my blogging journey has been and continues to be lovely.
I remember when I first started blogging I joined many linky parties
which is where I met some of the sweetest blogging ladies
who soon become dear friends.
I have always enjoyed the process of a linky party and the pleasure of meeting new people.
I have also always wanted to host my own linky party on my own blog
{I just haven't been "brave" enough}
so I decided I would take the leap this year and open up my blog to you, friends.
I am so inspired by the women I meet through blogging.
Each one of you is talented and gifted in your own unique and wonderful way.
Some of you create handmade items that are made with love and care,
there are those of you who can create a masterpiece recipe out of every day food items,
many of you can express yourself with beautiful words that flow from your heart,
and then there are those of you that can capture the moment with one single click of your camera
and the image you just claimed leaves me breathless with its beauty.
There is so much creativity, love, beauty, and inspiration found in the blogging community
and I would be honored to have you share it on my blog through weekly link-up parties.
I know without a shadow of a doubt that friendships will be formed,
encouragement will be found, and inspiration will be pursued through Roses of Inspiration.
Won't you join me, dear friends?
Oh, how I would love to have you link up a post - or two - or three - on my blog.
I will be hosting a linky party every Tuesday of the week.
My blog, like my home, is open to you and your lovely posts.
You can link up anything that your heart desires. . .
crafting
recipes
encouragement
Scripture
Scripture
devotionals
photography
healthy living
gardening
home living
sewing
crochet/knitting
fashion
sewing
crochet/knitting
fashion
tea time
home decor
etc
I will visit each one of you that links up
and I will also feature many posts on my blog each week -
maybe the feature will be you and your delightful blog :)
And one more thing - a very exciting thing. . .
there will also be fun giveaways throughout the year.
I will simply add up the amount of people who participated in one of the link-ups,
write the numbers down on paper and draw the number of the winner.
So if you link-up more than one post you will have a greater chance of winning.
These giveaways will be random
so you never know which link-up I will choose for a giveaway.

Dear Stephanie,
I put your button on my blog. Ummm, I have a question. I have never known what putting a linky button on my sidebar does. What does it do?

Great idea, but like your mom...not sure how your linky works. On our Creative Tuesday, we sign our name and copy our URL. Maybe you can tell me how it works. This Tues. I will be doing Creative Tues. But will join you on a different tuesday.
