Hello Friday!

Please Read Before Linking Up
Thank you so much for coming today to link up to New Friend Friday. We've had such a GREAT response and we are truly blessed. However, there are a few reminders I want to put out there:

• Family Friendly Sites only please. The past few weeks we've had to delete a site or 2 that was inappropriate. I hate to be the blog police but I really want to maintain the integrity of this blog and Tara and I are in agreement on this.
• Please link to your home page (example: http://thegirlcreative.blogspot.com). Last week we had over 88 entries that were for parties, crafts, etc. I know this is a common mistake so no worries. :)
• Remember to leave meaningful comments on the blog before and after you in the list. That's what this party is about. :) It's not about gaining the most followers or asking people to follow back. It's about visiting at least the blog before and after you (and as many as you want after that) and leaving comments and making friends.

Okay, this is hopefully the last time I have to spend time on this. I'd rather just PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

******

The Girl Creative and The Trendy Treehouse have officially teamed up to co-host New Friend Fridays! Each week you will have the chance to add a link to your main blog to the ever growing list below. New Friend Fridays is a fun blog hop where it's all about making new bloggy friends and offering meaningful comment support to other bloggers. Whether you add your link to the list at The Girl Creative or The Trendy Treehouse it's all just one great big list.

The Rules are Simple:

• Add a link to your main blog
• Visit the blog of the person whose name is above and below your name in the list and leave a meaningful comment on their blog.
• Visit as many blogs as you can and leave comments telling them you are visiting from New Friend Fridays at The Girl Creative or The Trendy Treehouse.
• There is no obligation and no pressure to follow everyone who follows you. Please just follow the blogs that are of interest to you. :)
• Family Friendly Blogs ONLY please. Explicit sites will be removed.

If you have any questions or concerns about the rules, please click HERE to read a post that should clarify things a bit.

The idea behind this blog hop is very simple - click around & show some LOVE (via comments!) to your fellow bloggers! Following is NOT required, the only thing I ask is that you follow the host (me! for now anyways!) and follow the featured blogger in the #2 spot.

To join in on the fun, link up your blog via your own "Where's The Love Friday/Follow Friday" post, & try to visit at least 2 bloggers on the linky & show them where the love is! The linky will be open from Friday-Sunday every week!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week I am breaking my own rules & featuring TWO bloggers! Both of these ladies were the FIRST to link up with Where's The Love Friday (even when I started it on a Sunday) & I really enjoy reading their blogs daily!

First up is Kendra Diaries!

Kendra is SUCH a sweet girl with not only one of the cutest little munchkins around, but her blog is by far one of my FAVORITES design wise!

Next up is Southern Reflections!

I have only been following Southern Reflections for a short while, but her blog is seriously one of the most uplifting, positive blogs I have read! I look forward to reading her posts!

Be sure to check out these blogs & follow these ladies - you would be crazy to miss out on what they have to offer! =)

Just a friendly reminder too before you all link up - please keep Where's The Love Friday to blog links only. This is not for giveaways or to promote anything other than your blog itself! I let it slide last week, but if a giveaway is linked up from now on, I will be removing it. Not to be a bitch or anything lol, but there are PLENTY of giveaway linkys out there & that's not my goal with Where's The Love Friday! My goal is simply to share the bloggy love via comments - so if you like that idea, link up your BLOG! =)

Happy Friday Everyone! ♥

Welcome to Fun Follow Friday hosted by Simply Stacie and My Wee View. The goal of this hop is to get new Google Friend Connect Followers for your blog and be introduced to new blogs to follow! We wanted to keep it fun and easy so all you have to do is add your blog link and start blog hopping and following away! You aren’t required to write a post for your blog for Fun Follow Friday unless you want to (but we really appreciate it if you do – to help get the word out).

When you visit a blog that you like and want to follow, leave them a comment with your link telling them you are following from the Fun Follow Friday. Of course, we would love for you to follow both hostesses blogs, Simply Stacie and My Wee View, but it isn’t mandatory. If you do follow us, just leave us a comment and we will follow you back.
The main goal is to have fun and follow the blogs that interest you!

There are a few fun things that Fun Follow Fridays does each week:

1. Each week 1 winner will be randomly drawn for the #3 Spot, this week it’s #107 Nebraska Hockey Mom.

2. Each week 1 winner will get Premium ad space for 1 week on both Simply Stacie and My Wee View. To enter, you have to blog about Fun Follow Friday! This week’s winner is Chubby Cheeks Thinks. (You can still participate in Fun Follow Friday without making a blog post about it. However, to participate in this special giveaway, you need to write a post about it)

Happy hopping along!

Welcome to Thursday Blog-Hop. The linky will open at 10PM EST. Please pass it along.

Also I’m on a computer this week that is very slow while I’m visiting my in-laws. If you asked me to check out your blog last week please post your link again and I will follow back. I got too overwhelmed with trying to login and sign up for blogs this past week, soooo sorry. Also be on the look out for a giveaway from Mabel Labels!!

<a href="http://www.bassgiraffe.com" target="blank"><img src="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/buttons/200x200button-thursdaybloghop.jpg" alt="Bassgiraffe's Thoughts Thursday Blog Hop" width="125" height="125" border="0" /></a>

THE RULES
1. Please follow the hosting blog- bassgiraffe’s Thoughts and the STAR blog in spot #2.
2. Please visit as many blogs as possible.
3. If someone visits your blog please visit theirs back, but I know that we don’t like all blogs we visit so don’t feel obligated to follow back if you don’t want.
4. Family friendly blogs only, please.
5. You will need to link to your blog post that has the above blog-hop button. Without a post it makes it harder for people to have a proper place to comment and let you know they stopped by.
—————————————-
Starting this week I am will be featuring one blog from the week before who made a post containing the blog hop button. This is a random draw from here on out. This week I just picked the first blog I can to that I saw my blog hop button was on. Next week’s STAR spot will be chosen Friday Morning via random.org. If the blog chosen does not have a post containing the hop button I will redraw a name. I hope that made sense.

This week’s STAR spot is “Two Children and a Migraine”. Please follow her blog.
