Friday Favorites – Week 199 – New Year’s Edition

Happy New Year! Welcome to Friday Favorites! I know we’re a little past New Year’s, but it just seemed appropriate to have New Year’s features for this week, so I hope you enjoy!
Also, if you host a linky party yourself, please feel free to link your blog up to my new Linky Parties List. Just be sure to list your site under the proper link list. For example, my Friday Favorites party is published on Thursday nights but would go under the list of Friday parties.
I’ve also started a new Giveaways and Freebies Linky where you can link up your giveaways, coupon posts, printables, patterns, and other free offers.
Giveaways and Freebies Linky
As we approach a new year, it’s a great time to reassess the blog, add new features, etc. For 2014, I decided to add a new Giveaways and Freebies Linky. My plan is to post a new linky each month.
The linky will be open to any giveaway that you are running on your blog, Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, or anywhere else on the net.
The linky is also open to freebies that you are offering on your blog. This could include free product coupons, printables, sewing patterns, ebooks, or anything else you’re posting about that’s free. (No sales or discounts.)
To share your giveaway or freebie, please add the DIRECT link to your giveaway or freebie, along with the name of the giveaway prize or freebie, and an expiration date (if applicable).

A new year is the perfect time to set new goals and organize your life, including your blog work. Today I have a collection of 12 FREE Printable Blog Planners.

Check them out! And Happy Planning! [Read more…]
