Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last Thursday the Valentine’s Day Hey Girl Link Party went live. And as of late Wednesday evening more than 165 people have linked up. Which is beyond awesome. We never expected so many people to get on the Hey Girl meme train. Even Sherry (my BFF) from Young House Love got in on the fun.

You probably live under a rock if you haven’t seen all the Ryan Gosling ‘Hey girl’ photos all over Pinterest and blogland. Well, in honor of Valentine’s Day and the hey girl mania, some other bloggers and I have banned together to host a fun link party on Thursday, Feb. 7th.

How it’ll work: Select your favorite photos of your man and give them some hey girl flavor. It can be something he’s actually said, or something you dream of hearing him say.

Bloggers: Share your hey girl photos on your blog.

Non-bloggers: Create your hey girl photos. Then upload them to Pinterest, Flickr, etc., and come back here to add them to the party.

All the single people: This party is for you too! Use a photo of your celeb crush, pet, candy bar, etc.

Co-hosts: I’m co-hosting with some amazing and hilarious bloggers. You can add your link to any of our pages on Feb. 7th and it’ll be hosted across all five of our sites.

Dare to Do-It-Yourself

November 8, 2012

Hi guys! I’m excited to announce a fun holiday link-up party I’m co-hosting with some of my best blogger buddies.

For the past 3 years Kim from Newly Woodwards has been hosting her Dare to DIY series during November and December, and this year she’s decided to expand it to include Rachel from Maybe Matilda, Michelle from Decor and the Dog, and yours truly.

The goals:
The point of the Dare to DIY parties is to motivate us to DIY projects through Thanksgiving and Christmas – and to do it together. Another goal is to meet new blog friends! I mean, whoever said that they have too many blog friends?

What to do:
Each Sunday evening, I will post the party link. Post about your take on the challenge and link it up to the party. Then, try to visit at least one other blog and leave that person a comment. This is the important because we want to meet new blogger friends and get inspired. I mean, this is a party. And who doesn’t like getting blog comments?

The plan:
Each Monday, the link party goes live for that week’s Dare to DIY challenge. You can link up as many projects as you wish, as long as the posts correspond with the theme of the week. You can link up on any one of our four blogs and the link will show up on all the blogs. So there’s no need to link up on every blog.

The linky will stay live through Wednesday. Later in the week, each of us will spotlight at least 3 projects we loved from the week on our blogs. We’ll also pin those projects on our shared Pinterest board. On the Friday before the party, all of the hosts will post their projects for the following week’s theme. Hopefully this will inspire people and serve as a reminder that the party is coming up.

The rules:

1. Please follow the Dare to DIY theme of the week (see below).

2. Please link back to Dare to DIY by linking to the blog party you link up to (grab the button below).

3. Please go to at least one other blog and comment. This is a party. So get to know a few other bloggers.
