Addicts (not so) Anonymous Link Party
It’s Friday! Woohoo!
First and foremost, I want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to stop by yesterday and share your biggest blogging pet peeves. We bloggers can learn so much from our readers…both the blogging and non-blogging readers. Your insights are so incredibly helpful, and I look forward to compiling all of the info into a future Blogging Help post (or perhaps two…y’all really had a lot to say! 😀 ).
If you haven’t had a chance to sound off on the topic of your biggest blog pet peeves, feel free to leave a comment. Your thoughts are valuable!
And the insight from that post (as well as similar posts I’ve read on other blogs) leads me to this next announcement.
Today’s link party will be the last one on A2D.
I’ve wrestled with this decision for a while now. As many of you know, I almost cancelled it a few weeks back, but then decided to keep it going at the request of a few of you who were really bummed that I was cancelling. But in the end, I just think it’s best for me, for my blog, and for my non-blogging readers if I fill this Friday post with something that can be helpful to all of my readers…even then ones that don’t blog.
So, it’s been fun while it lasted, but after this weekend, the party’s over. Literally. 🙂 Don’t worry, though. There are probably a hundred other blogs that have weekly link parties, so there are plenty of chances for you to share your projects.
Anyway, let’s see what you’ve been working on!
Just a special reminder…Please (see how nicely I’m asking?), please link back to A2D if you’re going to link your project to this link party. I don’t care if it’s a button or text. I’m really not picky. Just pretty please.
A few reminders:
- Link only things that you have done yourself…DIY projects, room makeovers, recipes, etc.;
- Please link projects that are new to A2D (repeats will be deleted);
- Link to a specific post (permalink), not to your general blog URL;
- Be aware that by linking your project to this party, you grant me permission to feature your project on other areas of the A2D site, including but not limited to the Inspiration Files gallery. I may also use your photo on the A2D Facebook Page;
- Grab a button and add it to your post (or your sidebar, or wherever…or just add a text link to A2D);
- Be sure to visit others and leave comments!!

Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
Say it ain’t so! But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do so although I’ll miss your party, I know you’ll do something fabulous to replace it!

I’m sad to see your party go, it’s one of my favs! I understand why though, there are SO MANY out there and they seem like a lot of work. I’m glad I never started one 🙂
Thanks for all the parties. Your has been one of the most effective for me so I will miss it – but I’ll still visit daily. I am have been reading all the comments about what blog readers hate- incredibly interesting and I expect all of us will be considering adjustments. Looking forward to see how you fill in Friday – and thanks!
Thanks for having provided that platform as long as you did, Kristi. I’m sure whatever comes next will be terrific!
Have a great weekend!
Thank you for hosting your fabulous party, Kristi. I am sad to see it go as there is always such great inspiration.
Thanks for hosting Kristi – I so ” get ” your decision – it’s a lot of work –
Just wanted to let you know how appreciated it was while it lasted 🙂
Kristi! I’m so sad to see your party go but I completely understand. You’ve been one of my top referrers and I can’t thank you enough for that!
I really respect your decision, and good for you for doing what feels right. I think that would be one of the features of blogs I keep following, for sure.
Oh goodness Kristi, I am so sorry to see you closing your party, but honey, hey, only you know, I’m sure, all the work it takes and I thank you sooooo very much for the wonderful time I’ve had partying with you at Addicted 2 Decorating’s, “ADDICTS (not so) ANNONYMOUS”! God bless you and many thanks once more.
Love,
FABBY
Thank you so much for all of the parties! We’re sad to see them go, but you’ve definitely made a conscientious decision that I’m sure will work out awesome.
I need to check in on the blogging pet peaves for sure. 🙂
This makes me sad because your blog was what started me sharing my stuff on linking parties and meeting new people. But I understand and respect your decision to do what is best. The comments yesterday were SO eye-opening. Helped me a lot. Thanks for all your awesomeness you send out into this world :).

Thanks for hosting girl! Hope you have a great weekend. I’ve really enjoyed reading your Pet Peeves post, too. Great idea!
I saw that post and haven’t had a chance yet to read it, but I am heading over there right now! Have a wonderful weekend with your sweetie. -K
Thank you so much for hosting this Friday and every other Friday up until now! I appreciate you allowing us to share our projects with you and your readers!
I am sorry to hear this. I have looked forward to your link parties. I’m sure you will do something even greater to replace it. I love your blog. So many great ideas.
I’m sorry to hear this, but completely respect your decision. I recently discovered your blog and am so happy I did! You have great stuff on here Kristy! I’ll be back all the time, party or no party:) Have a blessed weekend!

Thank you for all the wonderful parties youve had and for all the great inspiration that has passed through them as well:)
I am excited that this new chapter in your life is unfolding! Go get em’ and let the inspiration continue with YOU!
Thank you so much for hosting this last party. I truly understand it is a lot of work. I must say that I have been a blogger for a very short time, but as a non-blogger I always looked forward to your parties. All of the great projects were found on one page, and I have found amazing blogs because of your parties. Can’t wait to see what you have planned. I know it will be great. I really want to type an exclamation mark, but I’m not going to do it. LOL
Thanks for hosting this Link Party! It is my first one ever and I did indeed do the first one wrong! Eeek! Please forgive (and delete first attempt). I enjoy visiting this website for your latest projects. Keep up the good work!
Since this is your last ‘Linky Party’ I just had to join it my second and last time. 😀
