Thrifty Thursday....



I have been avoiding this post for a couple of weeks now....

I have loved hosting a Thrifty Thursday link party for over a year, but I
am just not able to keep up with it.....

I have loved looking through your links and seeing your creativity....and so do
other people.  The link party draws some of my highest weekly traffic!

I will miss "meeting" you all here on a Wednesday night, but I am 
excited to free up more time to be with my kids.


THANK YOU to everyone who has partied here on Thursdays!!!

    Good for you! I can't imagine how time consuming the party must be for you with so many entries each week -- we'll just keep in touch with posts! Hope you're having a great summer with your family!

    I feel bad to say that I never thought about how much work is involved in hosting a linky party. And I'm soooo appreciative to you and all the other women who have been so generous to do it!
    I may miss your linky party, but I STILL LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!

    Nicole - Thank you so much for all the time you have taken to host. I was a beginning blogger in April and your link parties have enabled me to meet so many wonderful, creative people. I will miss the party, but certainly family always must come first!

    Thanks for hosting the linky party each week. Even though I didn't link up every week, it was still fun to check out the projects. So glad you are enjoying your summer vacation. I've been taking a bloggy break for a while, but am getting anxious to get some projects done. We have just been so busy this summer with vacations, family reunions, a baby and work. Hard to keep up with the basics sometimes.
