Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #600!

WHAT A MILESTONE THIS IS!!!

I’m Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and it is my absolute pleasure to host our #600 blog hop as my last party for the month of August.

Looking back, I realized that I have been a hostess since 2015 – THAT IS 10 YEARS! I didn’t even realize how long I had been participating. Not to mention I didn’t even join at the very beginning of the party’s creation, so this party has been going on for a LONG TIME! It looks like I started with party #88 – holy cow!

We’ve had many incredible hostesses over the years and I am proud to say that both myself, Sinea from Ducks ‘n a Row and Linda of A Labour of Life are the longest standing original hostesses – thank you ladies for your time and care! Beverly from Eclectic Red Barn has also been with us for quite a long time too, maybe at least 8 years, is that right Bev?

We are so happy to have our two newest hostess’ on board – Susan from The Bay To The Beach and Esme of Esme Salon – whose enthusiasm and dedication is bringing a fresh new life to our party!

Even though our hosts have changed over the years, one thing still remains the same, our dedication to you – our readers – to bring you new and exciting content every week from your favorite bloggers. We hope you enjoy exploring our link party as much as we love hosting it for you!

This Week’s Features

To involve all of our incredible hostess’ for this monumental party, I’ve asked each to choose one feature to highlight this week.

Linda’s Pick

DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns

I’m pretty sure our resident Canadian blogger’s favorite season is fall – am I right Linda??? She is so crafty and loves a good DIY, so I’m not surprised she picked this DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns tutorial for her feature. Let us know if you make them!

Sinea’s Pick

Chicken Walnut Stuffed Pumpkin

Not only do our hostess’ organize each week’s party but we contribute too! Linda submitted this post for Chicken Walnut Stuffed Pumpkin and Sinea were all about it! She especially loves the images Linda shared on her post – bravo! This looks really tasty Linda, perfect for a single-mom’s dinner!

Bev’s Pick

Pine Cone Decor from Fall to Winter

Our hostess Bev is a HUGE DIY’er and lover of all things outdoors and country, so I’m not surprised she chose this post utilizing Pine Cone Decor from Fall to Winter for her feature. I love using pinecones in my decor too, Bev! I even have one hung in the house to help me tell if it’s going to rain that day or not.

Katie’s Pick (me!)

Electric Lemonade

I love lemonade so much, it’s one of my favorite summer time bevies. Yes, yes I know summer is over BUT September is WNY where I live can still be quite warm! So if you are looking to spice up your lemonade before it starts to get cold, try making this Electric Lemonade.

Susan’s Pick

Budget Friendly DIY Ghost Decor

As a newly single mom of three I am always looking for cheap and quick ways to decorate, and with Halloween being one of my FAVORITE holidays, I know that this post Susan chose will come in real handy – Budget Friendly DIY Ghost Decor. You don’t have to spend hours or a small fortunate to making things look festive!

Esme’s Pick

Apricot Chickern with Truffle Oil Mustard

.This recipe looks so heart-warming and mouth-watering to me. I know that soup season is upon us but I’m always down for a delicious chicken dish. Esme chose this recipe for Apricot Chicken with Truffle Oil Mustard and I’m not going to lie – I’m adding truffle oil to next week’s grocery list to try this one out!

Fall is coming and my dog’s fur has started to shed, bigtime! I wonder if it is possible to predict the winter to come based on dog fur? If so, we may have a cold winter on the way! LOL

Seriously, I love dogs and will always have one but I also love my vacuum cleaner. It does such a great job cleaning up all that pet hair. Makes life easier!
