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 

Katie Mansfield from Let's Add Sprinkles




Thanks for joining us for Monday Social.
We had a wonderful time visiting your links from two weeks ago.
One quick tip...
Link your specific PHOTO not just your general social media site.
Make sure it is your own photo.
We need more of your original pins from Pinterest. We would love to see your Facebook posts as well.

Let's get to the features.
There was so much inspiration.
I loved it.

This might be my favorite thing of the season.
It is brilliant.

Finally, 

You must go see the Little House series of posts at Decor to Adore.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.
Let us get our first party of the new year started.
