Monday Social
is a social gathering of friends where we connect with others by visiting them on

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or a Blog.

That's right, you do not have to write a blog to participate in Monday Socials.
You can also link photos from Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Find the addresses for your friends' sites, and
link your addresses for friends to find.

*****

Each Sunday at 4:00 p.m. party goers link up photos from one of four sites, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and/or a Blog.

Old-fashioned socials were held on/in lawns, porches, parlors, churches... where friends mixed, mingled, and shared their lives... and exchanged their calling cards that gave their names and contact information.

Monday Social is a 21st century social where we exchange our calling cards (link our URL addresses) for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and a Blog.

The hostess this week is
Eilis of My Heart Lives Here

Thank you to everyone who joined the second Monday Social last Sunday.

We had a great time visiting everyone to see their links,

including links to Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.

*One quick linking tip...

Link to a specific PHOTO in Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook,

not to your social media site.

Features were hard to choose because there were so many fantastic links.

All of these are featured on our MONDAY SOCIAL FEATURES Pinterest board.

Be sure to check out their sites....

Sarah found a perfect way to use her stash of orange and black bandanas. I predict there will be a run on them this Halloween season.
