Hello, and welcome to the first link party of 2026! I hope you've had a lovely holidays season and I'm glad you could join us for a new link party this week.
Over the past few weeks I debated a lot about this party - whether to keep it going this year or not, mostly. I would love for the party to grow, but I also know that with more links coming in I would not have time to look through all your posts. Working all day out of the house in a very time consuming job and then having to juggle time for the family, our house, the blogs, the Etsy shop, and all the rest of what we call life is taking a toll and sometimes I’m not sure where to find enough hours in a day to do it all.
In any case, I do love hosting the party and even though I often lack the time to leave a comment on everyone’s posts, I decided to keep it for now. Let’s get to party #500 (I have some special ideas for that one) and then I’ll adjust the plans for the rest of the year if necessary.
But for now, let’s party! If you can, please try to visit at least a couple of other posts and/or leave a nice comment on other people's creations, and help spread the word on social media.
As usual, the party will be open until Thursday and I will post the features on Friday, January 9th.
Please note that there's a 50 entries limit, so make sure you link up early.
The
Really
Crafty Link Party is
focused on
crafts, so
the idea is
for you to
link up all
your crafty posts:
DIYs,
printables, home
decor,
tutorials,
recipes, whatever you
want to
share - and
old posts are
welcome too!
I
have
no problem if
you want to add
the same link
in more than
one week;
it will still
be eligible
for a feature but
please note
that I will
comment and
add it to
the Pinterest
board only
once. You can add
posts on
other subjects
(family friendly
please), but only craft related posts, food and home decor will be eligible for a feature.
If you follow me on social media (icons in
the side
bar) let me
know in the
comments and I'll
make sure
to follow you
back!
By
linking
up you give me
permission to
use your photos
in
features or
round-ups, and to
share your posts
on social
media (always
with a link
back to
you for proper
credit).
Thank you for joining the party, have a wonderful week and happy 2026!

DeleteHi Pam, thank you for joining the party and happy new year too!
DeleteHappy New Year. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining, and have a wonderful week!
DeleteTeresa, worry less about visiting each post, the fact that you offer a place for us to share is greatly appreciated. Blogging seems to get smaller each year, each party helps keep the blogger going. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Melynda!
DeleteHello, Teresa and thank you, so much, for the party. As other mentioned, it's impossible to visit each and every link left and add a meaningful comment. Do what you can and do not worry further. I know what it takes to host. We love you and that you give us the opportunity to link up here.
