Welcome to the weekly Home Matters Linky Party #498

A great place to come, share your blog posts and make new friends. 

We are so glad you are here with us each week.

Thank you to everyone who responded about the link party idea for Christmas tree sharing.  I will continue working on some details and let everyone know when I plan to make the link party live.  I think that the day after Thanksgiving would be a good day. 

Next week is our 500th edition of the Home Matters Linky Party.  I have been a part of this link party since the numbers were in the 100s and honestly, I can’t believe some weeks that it is still going.  Yes, things have changed a lot since those first years and participation in link parties is way down, but I still think they are a good way to get to know other bloggers.  When I realized several months ago that the 500th party was coming up, I considered whether we should make some changes or discontinue the weekly party altogether. 

Don’t worry – I will not shut down the link party anytime soon.  But I would love to hear your thoughts on the future of link parties and any suggestions you may have for some changes to this party.  As always, I am looking forward to reading your posts this week. – Donna

Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:

1. Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.
2. Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.
3. We appreciate the variety of blogs on the www; however, the Home Matters Party is for links on matters of the HOME. Please link accordingly.
4. We ask that you do not add other Linky Parties, Blog Hops, or Giveaways–unless you begin the party with a new project, recipe or post.
5. On the same note, please do not add links of an extremist, political or strong controversial nature. (The hosts and co-hosts read each and every blog post linked and will contact you directly if you have linked something that does not fit into the realm of the party.)

With your help, we can continue to grow the Home Matters Party! Thank you!

We are looking for Co-Hosts. Help us Rock this party!
If you are interested, please contact Donna at radforddesignstudio@gmail.com.
