Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party!

Hi! I am Sinea from Ducks ‘n a Row. Thanks for coming to our party, we are so glad you stopped by. 

Depending on where you live, you may be sitting in the midst of a snow storm … I am! Much of the north and eastern part of the USA is experiencing a storm this weekend.  My community is preparing for 16 – 24 inches of the lovely white stuff. I had been feeling a little silly that my Christmas tree is still up and decorated but now that we are returning to a winter wonderland, I am glad. Christmas trees look so pretty when there is snow outside! So, while I look at the beautiful scenery out my window, join me in looking at some of the lovely posts you gave us to look at last week.

Here are this week’s features:

Cannoli pie recipe

Homemade Cannoli Pie by A Labour Of Life

 

Martha Bag Crochet from Lilia Craft Party

 

Mixed Media Valentine Decor from Patina and Paint

 

Snow Ice Cream by Cooking With Carlee

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to our party!

This week we are introducing the new Inlinkz format for adding your blog posts to the party.  It is pretty straight forward but there is an initial sign-up step.

At first, I wasn’t so sure that I was going to like it. It asks you to “sign up” with email. If you are like me, you are probably a little tired with signing up for this and registering for that.

So, I did it on another party to try it out. It is easy, thank goodness. Nice thing, too, is that you only have to do it one time. When I attended other parties that are also using the new Inlinkz, I was so happy to find that I was all set. I did not have to sign up again. For some of you, this is no big deal since you have already registered through another party. Yippee!

Blessings  … Sinea (party admin.)

BLOG HOP NEWS =>> Before we start this week’s party, I want to let you know that we are looking for new co-hosts! If you are a mommy blogger who posts at least a couple of times per week and actively shares your blog content on social media, we’d love to hear from you.  If you would like to know more, just email me, Sinea, at ducksnarow1@gmail.com and put CO-HOSTING in the subject line and I will get back to you ASAP! 

 

Now let’s take a look at the most popular posts from last week! You never know, one one of the features might be YOU!

What Is A Blog Hop and Why Do I Care?

What is a Blog Hop?

What is a Blog Hop? A blog hop is a social event where bloggers are invited to share links to their posts, visit others’ posts and endorse them.
How do visitors endorse other people’s blog posts? They do it by clicking on the image of the post they are interested in, commenting on that post and sharing the link on their own social media pages. Personally, I get my greatest amount of blog traffic from Pinterest so whenever someone pins an image from one of my posts, it is a real blessing.

Though a blog hop is a “party” of sorts, I prefer to think of it more like going to a fair. Each post is a “booth” where bloggers display their work. Some visitors will pass that booth by. Others will touch the stuff a little bit with a click or maybe a pin. Still others will stay for a while as a true admirer.  True admirers follow the blogger’s blog by subscribing to their email list or following them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram.

National Brands Can Find Great Blogs To Write For Them By Visiting Blog Hops

Brands have come to recognize that the relationship we have established with our readers is of value to them. A national brand can connect more closely with potential customers by hiring bloggers to write a story that ties in with their advertising campaigns. Marketers who work for those brand name companies would be wise to stop by blog hops from time to time looking for good outlets for their stories. Maybe they do!
 
Blog Hops are a great place to develop a readership that is meaningful. Meaningful? They are the readers who love what you love and will come back again. They are also the people those brands out there want to connect with. Blog Hops are a marketplace for your future so don’t sell them short. They are worth it.
What is a blog hop? #blogging #bloggingtips
 
Blog Hops are not just for bloggers. Think of them as indexes of online magazines. Isn’t that what a blog really is? An online magazine! People who just love crafts, recipes, kids activities, fashion, couponing, money saving tips, deals, giveaways, pets, back-to-school, home decor, gift ideas, parenting advice, ANY type of advice, health & fitness  …. well, the list goes on and on … can come to a blog hop and find TONS of creative ideas.

I had a marketing manager contact me one day about placing advertising on my blog. She asked me “Can you give me a list of other bloggers who write like Ducks ‘n a Row? I would like to get in touch with them.” That was a tall order. I know quite a few. So, I told her the best place for her to go fishing for excellent mommy blogs was blog parties! She did not know what they were. I gave her the “Reader’s Digest version” and sent her on her way. That was all she really needed to know.

Blog hops – link parties – are a gold mine for marketers looking for top-notch writers and photographers!

Going to a blog hop is kind of like going to a fair or reading the quick index of a popular magazine! #bloggingtips Share on X

How To Find Blog Hops

“So, where can I FIND blog hops?”  You can search Google or Twitter. To me, their search engines will be the fastest sources. If you use Twitter, just put these hashtags in the search window: #bloghop #linkup #linkparty or #blogparty. Any of those should find some. Also, I have put together a short list of parties  [below.] They are up to date and will give you at least one a day to get  you started.

This Week’s Features

Let’s start with this decorative glass bottle. It is one of four techniques you will learn about in the post from Doodle Buddies. The bottles will look so pretty as a centerpiece on a table or displayed on a mantel. Another thought, how about giving them as a gift?

Do you love crochet as much as I do? Whenever I come across a craft project that has been crocheted, I have to stop and look. Isn’t this flower bead necklace beautiful? You will learn how to do it here:

The Country Chic Cottage is one of my favorite craft blogs.  Angie has the most unique craft projects. I love how she often uses a rustic look. These wooden evergreen trees are so pretty and, as you will see, they are easy to make.

This appetizer platter wreath by Bird’s Party is so pretty and can be served at a party any time of year. It is even pretty enough to be the centerpiece!

Happy New Year 2019

Welcome to the first blog party of 2019 and Happy New Year!  Our previous party was highly attended but, sadly, not highly viewed. We love to give you lots of visibility so last week we selected a few very nice holiday posts from our party to include in our Christmas roundup.  This week we will share some other posts from the same blog hop as our features you will love.

Reminder:  we spotlight the most viewed from the party at our following blog hop so please do browse through the entries and visit a few that you particularly like. I call it “giving the gift of click!”  As an extra nice touch, how about pinning them and bring a smile to that blogger’s face by leaving a friendly comment. ♥
