Greetings all, happy Monday, I’m just putting the finishing touches on the boy’s room, then I need to snap some photos. I can’t wait to show it to you! It’s all finished just in time for his 5th Birthday (which is today, hooray)!
Meanwhile, I thought it would be so fun to have a series of link parties throughout the spring and summer with topics for discussion. These will be specific subjects, and I hope you’ll join me in a party or two. I’m calling each of them a ‘Fair Weather Forum’ because they are all related to topics specific to these seasons. Consider this your invitation to link up your best tips or latest project on the topic of the day.
These ten link parties will take place on Mondays twice a month.
Here is the schedule of topics:
March 28th: Spring Decorating & Cleaning
April 11th: Easter Ideas
April 25th: All Things Paint!
May 16th: Outdoor Décor & Entertaining
May 30th: Garage & Yard Sales
June 13th: Summer Activities (Favorites & With Kids)
June 27th: Fourth of July Ideas
July 11th: Favorite Vacation Spots
July 25th: Gardening
August 15th: BBQs and Picnics
I’ll be writing up a post on the topic on the scheduled day of the forum, or featuring a new project. I hope you’ll join in on the fun, and link up with your ideas, plus see what others have to say on the topic. It should be a great sharing and learning experience.
Mark your calendars, see you there!

Happy Birthday to your son! This sounds like a fun series you have planned!
Hello Kate,
All you design bloggers have inspired me! Come see what I did to my kitchen without the help of a contractor. I think I would fit the ‘All Things Paint’ category. DIY’s unite!

Great idea!! Looking forward to joining in when I can!
Fabulous idea, my friend, count me in! :)
Oooh, I love it! Can’t wait to link up to a few. And wow, what an effect just seeing those dates has on the psyche. Words like “April,” “May,” and “June” put a smile on my face … thank you!
Fun series…..and your little guys room came out GREAT !!!!
All the best,
Kathy :)
Fun idea! I’ll definitely be linking up. One question: does anyone know of a forum for discussions for bloggers? I always have so many little questions that’d love to throw out to blog land. Mine today: how do you all keep track of link parties, which days are which blogs, which blogs are themed parties adn which are not, etc.! Do you have a calendar system that is easy and works? And is there a yahoo group or the like for bloggers to chat with one-another??
I absolutely love it !!! I cannot wait to see what you have in store !
Awesome! Kate, can you please be specific on the time that you’ll open these linky parties? It helps us keep tabs of our schedule, plus we don’t have to keep checking if it’s open or not. Thank you.
