Happy July… oops I guess its actually August, where has the summer gone. No Matter we are here and we are ready to party together, and with that welcome to Happiness is Homemade 649! Lets try and start over fresh shall we. I have been on the road in Thunder Bay Ontario, and its been a beautiful week exploring and catching up. Searching through all the features I rediscovered the ones from last week and found some new ones to feature.

 

I’m Linda from A Labour of Life, and I’ll be your host throughout the summer. I’m so happy you’re here! Our blogging community has certainly changed over the years. At one point we had a dozen co-hosts, and today we’re down to three. Even so, this weekly party continues because of all of you. Your creativity, recipes, DIY projects, crafts, travel stories, home inspiration, and seasonal ideas are what make Happiness is Homemade such a special place each week. If you’re a blogger and have ever thought about becoming a co-host, we’d love to hear from you. New faces and fresh ideas are always welcome.

 

Now let’s celebrate another week of amazing inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, and I can’t wait to see what you’ve been creating. Be sure to link up your latest posts, visit a few others, and spread a little blogging love along the way. .
