Welcome to the weekly Home Matters Linky Party. A great place to come, share your blog posts, and make new friends. It’s my first time co-hosting a Linky Party, so I hope you’ll join me and link up.

Home Matters Linky Party #49!

Thanks for coming to party with us this week! We are thrilled to have you here, and eager to see what you will be sharing with us.

You were all so wonderful in helping us send off Kristen with a bang! We had a record-breaking party last week–tons of awesomeness.

This week we are welcoming Melissa to her new position as a Host of the Home Matters Linky Party. She has been a familiar face at the party having been a co-host for the past five months. Please give her some love as she steps into her new shoes!

Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:

We are thrilled that you came by to link up today! Here are a few rules that hosts and co-hosts of the Home Matters Party follow, and we ask that you follow them, as well.

1. Please link up no more than THREE posts each week–try to make sure that they are new links that you have not shared here previously. (Exception: Holiday/Seasonal specific posts may be shared once per year.)

2. Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.

3. Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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!
