If you are new to 30days, I host a linky party, my Pity Party to link up to every Friday. It started last summer when I was having a really bad week and someone suggested that I have a link up party to look through the links and cheer up. It worked! Pity Party was born and has been happening every Friday since. I love checking out new links and finding new blogs to visit.
Have I told you lately that I love you? Because I really really do.
THANK YOU FOR LINKING UP EACH WEEK!!
And for the sweet comments about hostessing.
and you know who else I really love?
My Mom- Happy Happy Birthday Mom!
The Rules:
- Link to a specific post, not your blog in general.
- No links to shops, products or giveaways please. (They will be deleted)
- Be creative- a craft, tutorial, recipe, anything you want!
- To add your post please link to 30days somewhere on your post or grab a Pity Party button- thanks!
- Visit other links and leave them some love!
- Join me on Twitter, Facebook & Pinterest as I share some of my favorites throughout the week.

Yah! Thanks Mique, I added (another) button
And how cute are those mini popcorn boxes?! I wish I’d seen that before my son’s circus themes birthday. I’m also going to need some of that steak, delivered to my mouth. Immediately.

Thanks for sharing! Somehow others still seem to be able to grab the pics, but I am happy to email if you’d like, too. I don’t know how to take the right click protection off…with my logo on, I don’t care if they are shared;)
Kristen- thanks for your amazing idea! SO great. We will start this on Monday. Next time I’ll email you to get a pic.
