Hookin Up with HoH #46

Oh boy oh boy. Who wouda-thunk asking people to link back to my blog last week would cause such a tizzy?!

The rule stands. BUT(!!!) (yes, there’s a BUT!) you just need my link on your blog somewhere. Anywhere. Put it in your post, in your signature, your sidebar, or a separate page. I don’t care where. Just have my link on your blog. I’m not even asking for a button (tho that would rock!). A text link or button is great. Capisce? Capisce!

HookingupwithHoH

It’s that time of the week again! Time for another amazingly awesome party!!

What’s more awesome than adding your links? Having people SEE your blog! So scratch other linkers’ backs and check out a few of their links as well.

Wanna know a secret for getting more exposure to your blog?! Go to other blogs and LEAVE REALLY NICE COMMENTS! If they like your comment, more than likely they will check out your blog too.

Here’s last weeks Hookin Up party #45 party in case you missed it.

Wanna get featured at my link party? Post awesome stuff and even more awesome pics. And give a good tutorial. I like Awesome. Plain and simple.

And if you don’t get featured, it doesn’t mean you aren’t awesome. It means I only have 10-12 slots, so try again next week!

Doooode, check out these super fabulous posts from last week’s party-harty.

I’ve seen flowers like this before, but this Layered Flower Hair Clip just spoke to me. I think it’s because it’s an awesome flower AND an awesome picture. Go check out the tutorial over at Christina’s Adventures.

OMG amazing before and after chair makeover at A Girl & Her Home.
  

Beautiful table makeover by Before Meets After.

Increasingly Domestic has a birthday tradition you do not want to miss. Check out her post to see why I’m copying this tradition starting this year, and why you should too!

I’ve seen a lot of menu boards in my day, but this is my favorite so far. I love how pretty and simple this menu board is by A Creative Momma.

Mom’s of All Trades made this ah-mazzzzing mirror out of Jenga Blocks! Jenga Blocks people!! Go over right.this.second. to see how she did it.

A hand-painted map by Design Garden. Love it.

Making Messes created the most hi-larious onesie. Dying. I love it.

Starr Circus created the most beautiful space for her girls. Go check it out to see why I love every single detail.

Are these not some of the coolest coasters you’ve ever seen? Check out the full how-to at A Turtle’s Life For Me.

I swear I don’t intentionally favor The Speckled Dog. It’s just that her blog is so awesome that I just have to share her links with you all.the.time. {Hint… “follow” her blog}. Isn’t this sconce wall so awesome and cool?!?!!!

If you’ve been featured you are AWESOME so grab a button and tell everyone!

IhookedupwithHoHlamespice

Post about anything you’ve worked on recently!

* Please link back to my blog somewhere on your blog. Buttons can be found HERE or you can just do a written text link.

* Link directly to your specific post, not your blog.

* Please only post links that you haven’t previously posted at one of my parties. We want fresh new content each week! Yippie!

* Go comment on a few other links. If you want clicks and lovin’ dish it out! Karma is an awesome friend.

A few DON’TS:

* Don’t link up your LINK PARTY **unless it’s a craft or tutorial of your own** {It’s just rude to advertise your link party at my link party).
Add your link party HERE if you want free advertising.

* Don’t link up your SHOP, STORE, OR ETSY to my party. This is also rude. Don’t try to sell your stuff at my party.

* Don’t link up your GIVEAWAY to my party. Again, this party is to promote other bloggers and their crafts and projects, not to promote your giveaway.
{Someday Crafts has a great party each Thursday for this!}

Thanks for being understanding of my new rules. I love scratching you back each week and letting you shine. My back itches too! 😀

Ready. Set. Post!


This party will be open until Sunday, May 1st, 2011 at 10am CST.

    I don’t think that’s asking too much – nearly every blog asks the same thing so it’s really only fair of us to link back to you 😉 I’m super happy to do it and appreciate ALL your hard work with you blog!

    For real? People didn’t think they should link back? I’m always amazed at that. For cryin’ out loud, do they realize how much traffic they get from link parties? At the very least, they should grab your button.

    I hosted a paint-only party for a while (and plan on starting it up again soon) and while I didn’t have a ton of participants, they were all great about linking back. (maybe they felt sorry for me;)

    I’m glad you spoke up, Allison. I love the blogging community because it has been a give-and-take experience. I hope it remains that way!

    And WOAH…just looked at some of the comments from your very simple request of a link-back from last week…the NERVE of some people is beyond me! Please don’t let the few negative comments outweigh all of the supportive positive ones…you’re awesome…your blog is awesome…this party is awesome…AND it takes a lot of work to host a party!! I truly appreciate it, and I’m sad that others don’t!

    I super duper love you HoH party every week! I have your button on my Blog Parties page! I’d really love to be featured, if you’d be so kind! I recently renovated my kitchen on a $1,200 budget. I was able to replace the cabinets, buy a brand new dishwasher, and build a really nifty super cottage chic range hood! I hate to brag, but it really looks like a million bucks!

    Happy Blogging!

    Just wanted to say AMEN to your rules. I cannot believe so many links are *still* disappointing. I click on it thinking I am getting a tutorial or instructions or something neat only to find self promotion etc. Thanks for being the party police! Your party- your rules! I think they think you will not notice since your party is always so big. And *awesome*!
