Monday Meet and Greet

Each Monday I’ll be hosting a link up to encourage ‘meet and greet’ among my friends. I don’t know about you, but I like making new friends.

Today, we’re going to link up BLOG LINKS. You can link up your MAIN URL or you can link up your ABOUT ME page. Each following week I’ll offer opportunities to share other links that are important for us to get to know you even better from Facebook pages, Twitter, and more. If you want to make new friends, enter your blog link and invite others to join us. Today we’re just breaking the ice.

Monday Meet and Greet is for new bloggers AND the ones who’ve been around a while and want to re-connect.

Tips on making new friends:

1. Be sure to visit some of the blogs listed in order for us to get the most out of the meet and greet.

2. The best way to break the ice is to share 3 things you’d like others to know about you. This is how people feel connected so be sure to share something that you think would inspire someone to become friends with you. So be sure to comment on this post today!

3. Find one category in their nav bar and find a recent post that catches your attention. Leave a genuine comment so the blogger knows you feel connected to their story.

And be sure to come back next week to join the Monday Meet and Greet for more social media tips on making new friends.

Autumn Beauty

One thing we don’t see enough of in the beach cities of Southern California are Autumn colors. Palm trees just don’t want to be a part of the party. ;) But what I am looking forward to is the Autumn decor that will be going up on front porches all over the city. Until then, here are a couple of shots from my old neighborhood.

31 Days of Autumn

Several bloggers are linking up with The Nester with their “31 Days of…” promotions. This works out well with the celebration of Autumn that I had planned for this month. So I’m participating with The Nester’s community as well.

During this month, the challenge is to include anything Autumn related into your blog posts. You can simply add an Autumn photo to your post, present an Autumn craft, an Autumn recipe, or an Autumn related giveaway. Each day you publish an Autumn related blog post, you can come link up with us here at The HomeSpun Life.

All I ask is a link back to this post so more people can participate in the Celebration of Autumn. You can click here to get the code for the linked text to make it easier for you. Or you can click here for the button code to add to your posts. Either type of link back would be most appreciated.

Some ideas include:

  • Your Instagram shots of Autumn colors in your neighborhood.
  • Photos of your Autumn home decor.
  • Photos of your Autumn Recipes.
  • Autumn crafts you created.
  • Autumn related giveaways.

 Mix and Mingle!  This is an opportunity to make new friends and see new blogs, So go visit others who have linked up and say hello! Let them know you found them via the 31 Days to Autumn Link up.

Promotions: I’ll be promoting your posts via my Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest during this month. I have a pin board titled “Everything Autumn”.

This “31 Days to…” works well with any other of the “31 Dayers” promotions going on, as you can participate in and/or lead your own while participating here. You can easily incorporate an Autumn photo into your posts and still link up here even if the text content of your post isn’t necessarily Autumn related.

  • So feel free to link up original articles, DAILY.
  • Be sure you are linking up ORIGINAL posts each day (in otherwords, don’t link up the same post each day).
  • Giveaways: If you’re linking up a giveaway, be sure you add the text “giveaway” to your link up description. Limit ONE giveaway link per link up. (in otherwords, don’t link up your one giveaway everyday. )

Happy Autumn!
