It’s Halloween, and while many people are preparing for a party with their loved ones, or getting ready to go trick-or-treating and annoying their neighbours, I thought it would be a fun idea to host a virtual party here in the blogosphere.
For those of you who have never participated in a blog party before, the rules are simple (PLEASE READ THESE FIRST BEFORE POSTING)…
1. Choose your favourite post from your own blog. The subject of the post can be anything you like – blogging, food, parenting, life, travel, thoughts, photography… Note: This should be only one post at a time or it will get sent straight to the ‘spam’ folder and I may not be able to find you for a while. You can share up to three links, and for maximum impact I would suggest that you wait a little while in between posting them rather than in one go.
2. Paste the link in the comment section of this post and feel free to write a little bit about yourself and/or your blog.
3. Enjoy! Relax, pull up a chair, meet new people! Find new blogs, comment on their posts, follow, reblog and share. Let them know that you met them here!
The party will be going on for the next 24 hours, and you can visit as many people as you like. You don’t have to follow my blog or social media accounts to participate (although you’re always welcome to!) and you’re very much allowed to reblog and share this post so you can invite your friends!
Dont forget, if you instantly want to meet new people without waiting for links, I’ve got a whole group of lovely blogging sponsors in my sidebar who would love it if you stopped by to say hello!
Want to join in another blog party? Donna is hosting one at her place – hop on over and say hi!
Ooh I’ve been looking forward to this! Let’s get the party started!
You can also find me on Twitter and Tumblr @suzie81blog, and don’t forget to check out my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/suzie81speaks, my Pinterest page http://www.pinterest.com/suzie81speaks and my Instagram page http://www.instagram.com/suzie81speaks.

Have met some new folks who I don’t think I would have otherwise. Thanks again, Suzie! “The Story of Enesa in 3 Posts, Part 2”: http://wp.me/p4xnjd-eS
Thanks so much Julie! Hope you’re having fun!
Thanks, always do. Also, old news, but loved the live tweeting of the race you ran the other week.
Haha! Thanks! I was proud of myself for completing it but NEVER AGAIN!!!
Thank you so much for hosting, Suzie! You sure know how to throw a party!
My post is a mixture of sharing my experience having a transgender child, a little bit of the little grandkids and my dog, as well as photo challenges…..and anything else I feel like posting. 🙂 In honor of Halloween I’m sharing Ghost in the Graveyard, originally posted last year.

Thank you again, Suzie! Happy Halloween!
Thanks Kat! It’s certainly getting busy and it’s only been going for a few hours! Hop on over and say hi to the other bloggers – it’s a lovely group of people!
I’m on my way over to see some bloggers now! What a great group! 🙂 Thank you for hosting!
I love me a good Halloween party!!! I’ve just relaunched and rebranded my blog, “Aging as Gracefully as I Can” — it is a midlife blog (I’ll bet you guessed that}. I’m reposting a blog from last Halloween, but feel free to take a look around. Beth

Thanks Beth! Hope you have a good time – hop on over and say hello to everyone!
Reblogged this on Oyia Brown.
Thanks for the reblog!
What a good idea! It’s always nice to meet new people and find cool new blogs. I write about life in Greece – the good, the bad, and the just plain funny.

Being an Australian, I’m surrounded by all sorts of dangerous wildlife and nothing inspires fear quite like a venomous spider or snake. Here’s my tale: “Snake in the Chook Shed”: https://wordpress.com/post/35828219/9276/
Happy Halloween. Who needs ghosts when you have snakes! xx Rowena
Thanks my lovely!
I think something’s wrong with the link. It took me to your admin page with an empty new post screen loaded.
Sorry about that. Hopefully bthis will work: https://beyondtheflow.wordpress.com/2015/10/31/an-australian-halloween/ xx Rowena

Of course! Hope your Halloween is lovely. Full of rain here but i like the darkness lol!
It’s still light and reasonably bright as yet so it’s quite nice… Going to get ready to ignore the trick or treaters later haha!
Lol!
Trick-or-treat! Sorry to be so late to the blog party, but I’ve brought the BBQ Bat Wings. And I’d like to invite everyone to stop by my blog for some Halloween tips from a bad mother [http://barbtaub.com/2015/10/28/halloween-tips-from-a-bad-mother-wwwblogs/]
Hi lovely! You’re not late and always welcome! Thanks for sharing your link, but I’m not sure whether it has worked? I can’t seem to click on it?
So sorry about the link. Does this work better? http://wp.me/p2SHpT-23U
Yup that works! Thanks my lovely!

Thanks for hosting and Happy Halloween! Hmm, I gave it a lot of thought and couldn’t decide on a post. There are many that I wrote that are my favorite. In the end, I decided to share a post that portrays who I am as a person, a working mom who aspires to become a published author. And some very useful time management tips learned along the way of my writing journey.

Happy Halloween! Here’s my favorite blog for the party: https://notquiteold.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/halloween-guilt-how-i-scared-the-crap-out-of-an-eight-year-old/
Hi lovely! So pleased to see you here – your blog is one of my favourites! I’m sure that so many others will too!
Hi everyone and a very Happy Halloween to all! Thank you so much, dear Suzie, for hosting this brilliant Halloween Bash!! I’m Cher and my blog is called, “The Chicago Files”. I’m a Canadian who writes about my observations living in a large, American city. The post I have chosen here is called, “Profoundness In Aisle 5”. It is about the empathy of a young man in downtown Chicago, despite how others treat him. http://wp.me/p4doQv-PU
Yay Cher is here!! Really appreciate you stopping by to share a link! Feel free to hop on over to the other blogs and say hello – they’re a lovely bunch of people! I’m sure they’ll love your blog, I do!
Awh, thanks so much my dear Suzie! You are the sweetest!!! Oh yes, I’m having a brilliant time and I just got started! What a lovely group indeed! Cher xo
Hi,
I usually shy away from blog parties or any kind of self-promotion. But here I am – dared to do so on Halloween day. My blog is a potpourri of my poems, stories and articles. Here’s my post that’s not really my best post, not even written for Halloween but witch-full nevertheless. I’m writing another piece that I’ll share soon.
https://alkagirdhar.wordpress.com/2015/10/08/just-witching-around/
Thanks for this wonderful blog party!
Hi Alka! You’re very welcome – never be scared of dropping by and saying hello… They’re a lovely community here and there hundreds of lovely bloggers for you to meet! Have a lovely time!
Sure Suzie! It is indeed a lovely community and blogging is all about sharing. Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much for finding my blog, Sue and I am thrilled to have found yours!! Cannot wait to read lots and lots more!! Cher xo
Ooh I’m so pleased you two have met – you’ll get on very well!
Thank you, Suzie! I can’t wait to read more of Sue’s writing! Cher xo
These blog parties are great places to meet people, aren’t they? 🙂
They sure are, Sue! Hugely grateful to dear Suzie for having this Halloween party! 🙂
It’s a darned good idea 🙂
It most certainly is, isn’t it, Sue? 🙂
😀
So glad you’re here Sue! You’re always welcome!
Thanks, Suzie 🙂 I’m a dab hand a washing up too 😉
I always have paper plates and plastic cups for parties – so much easier!
Which makes the dishes a far less onerous task 😉
Absolutely!
What a fun idea for a post! This is great advice for anything, whether it’s looking for a job, starting something new–it’s life advice and has helped me so much! http://carolcassara.com/job-hunting-advice/
Thanks so much Carol! It’s getting really busy so there are lots of lovely bloggers for you to go and meet! Thanks for sharing a link!

http://www.welcometomyworldam.com/?p=554 I blog about being a SAHM, cancer survivor, stillbirth and everything in-between. Thank you so much for hosting Suzie!!
Thank you! Really appreciate you stopping by to share a link! Feel free to hop on over to the other blogs and say hello – they’re a lovely bunch of people! Have a brilliant time!
What a fun idea and so generous. Thank you for hosting! I run 2 blogs, one on fitness, called Marlton Trainer, and my new one, Art 4 All. I want to make art accessible to everyone and will be promoting other artists as time goes on. My link is at http://joankerrigan.com/the-art-of-the-brick-beyond-playtime/ if anyone would like to visit! 🙂
Thanks so much Joan! Ooh I’ve just done my first (and last) half marathon! I’ll go and check it out!
You’re welcome. Congratulations on your half-marathon! That’s a great achievement. I don’t run much anymore but always liked the 5k distance best. It doesn’t take quite so long as marathons and half marathons. 🙂
Thank you! I’ll do 10k’s in the future but never will do anything more than that haha!
Hey Suzie, Thanks again for the blog party! Such a great idea for Halloween! I am Ben over at Bensbitterblog.com where I complain bitterly and humorously about all the little things that people might not think about. I hope to see all kinds of awesome people today. So my favorite post that I did was a week ago and it explained the reason why there has been crazy weather in the last few years. I think you will find this information and somewhat unexpected. Here the link http://bensbitterblog.com/2015/10/20/our-bitter-weather-explained-by-aliens/ and thanks again Suzie!
Thanks so much Ben! Have a brilliant time!
I always do when I come to your parties!
I’m back, Suzie and wow, even more bloggers to mix and mingle the day away with… 😉
Here’s a post full of blogging tips http://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/08/27/message-in-a-bottle/
Hi lovely! Yup, it’s getting busy – lots of lovely people to go and meet!
❤ ❤
Here’s the last one, then off to read other posts: The Story of Enesa in 3 Posts, Part 3: http://wp.me/p4xnjd-6D
Hard to choose a favorite post! Here’s a short one that I particularly like because it says something about the friendship between me and my co-blogger. http://wp.me/p5AhVB-28 We’re newbies to the blogging world, love to find the absurd in the mundane, and refuse to grow up. Thanks, Suzi, for hosting this blogging party! My first! Yay!
Ooh a newbie! Thanks so much for sharing your link – apologies for the late approval of the comment. I hope you enjoyed it!
Hello Suzie, thanks so much for having this awesome party! I just continued my blog today after over a year of no blogging. So this is my first post in a very long time, and I would be absolutely delighted to make some new blogger friends now that I’ve started it up again!
http://www.ulawyss.com/new-chapter-new-journey-im-back/
Ula 🙂
Hi Ula! I’m so pleased to see you back! Hope you’re doing well – thanks so much for sharing a link!
Great to find your blog, Ula!! I see you too are familiar with Louise Hay and, “The Secret”! Me too!! Cher xo
oh that’s great!! yes, those are the ideas I base my blog and life on 🙂
Can’t wait to read more!!
I love to hear that, Ula!! 🙂
Thanks for hosting this party! This is such a cool idea, I’ll definitely be using your tips in the future to host one of my own. My personal blog is on WP pnwgirl.com but I am also a contributor on The Unfiltered Grind Blog (unfilteredgrind.blogspot.com), where two other young adults and myself talk about life, parenting, entertainment, and give advice for others on “the grind”. It’s so hard to just pick one favorite post from there so I’ll be posting one from each of our three writers. I’m #pwngirl and here’s one of mine from this earlier week- it’s a part two on ways to reduce travel stress. Hope you like it! http://unfilteredgrind.blogspot.com/2015/10/packing-perfect-carry-on.html?m=1
Hi! Thanks so much for participating! There are lots of lovely bloggers taking part so feel free to stop by and say hello! Have a brilliant time!
Yes, I’m still here, Suzie, wandering around meeting all these delightful guests!!! 🙂
Here’s some sage advice from my archives people might need this Halloween night (hopefully not) http://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/03/20/25-ways-to-stay-alive-in-a-horror-movie/
Yay! Hope you’ve met lots of lovely new people!
Hi everyone! Happy Halloween! Thank you for hosting this awesome Halloween party, Suzie! You’re always a great host! My name is Lisa and my blog is Life of an El Paso Woman. I blog about current events, music, movies, the people and places of El Paso, Texas, etc. Today I included a link of my top 10 favorite Halloween songs. I have LOTS more Halloween posts on my blog, including my favorite Halloween movies, local ghost stories/legends, etc. I plan on featuring posts about Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in a couple of days here. Please stop by if you have a chance. It’s really nice to meet everyone! Have a great day and enjoy the party!

Hi Lisa – I love your blog and I know how much others will too!
Thank you Suzie 🙂
Hi Suzie; looks like the party is going with a swing. Like all good parties it needs to degenerate and I thought some appropriate smut ‘in the best possible taste’ might help http://geofflepard.com/2015/04/25/my-anniversary-post-smut-the-sex-life-of-the-euphemism/
Geoffle!! So lovely to see you here!! Thanks for sharing your link! Have a brilliant time meeting lots of lovely people who I’m sure will think you’re as awesome as I do!
Will do (takes ego out and deflates)
Hi all! I blog over at Baby Gates Down mostly about parenting and balancing career and your own needs with that, but for the past two years in the lead up to Halloween have done a Vampire A to Z where I’ve profiled my favourite vampires. Today’s wrap up post is here: http://babygatesdown.com/2015/10/31/2015-vampire-w-to-z/. Hope you enjoy it and looking forward to meeting some other bloggers. Happy Halloween everyone! And thank you Suzie!

Here I am again with my obscure cat blog containing 98% organic original material and NO advertising, NO expert advice, minimal cat memes, original photos of my cats, and humour and a few other weird things I sometimes think up. If you read something serious here, you must have misunderstood. This post is “day appropriate”.

Hi Greg! I loooooove your blog – I’m sure that you’ll have a whole new bunch of people that will love it too!
PS I am rude thinking of myself–Thanks for hosting the party and letting me in!
Not at all – it’s nice to have you here! Thanks!
Happy Halloween. Here’s a post about bats and the not-recommended way to get rid of them. http://notesfromtheuk.com/2015/10/30/bats-in-the-u-s/
Hi Ellen! Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s getting really busy now so there’s lots of people for you to go and meet!

People really seemed to like this one of anyone is up for the challenge, https://pursuitofanewadventure.wordpress.com/2015/10/23/one-thing-challenge-amwriter-book-positivity-blog/?preview=true
Ooh I’ll go and check it out in a bit!
Yay!
Hi all! I’m all sorts of messed up on time because I’m posting from the U.S. I ‘met’ Suzie when we were both nominated for a blogging award (she won and I got to be runner up (in the ‘inspiring blog’ category) and I was so excited and messaged her my congratulations and have been following her ever since. This is my first blog party and my offering is funny, and might inspire you NOT to exercise – ever. (In the mean time I’ll be visiting the other blogs here :)) Happy Halloween! (And thank you Suzie!)

Hi Lisa! How are you? Lovely to see you here – thanks very much for sharing a link!
It’s very exciting! I am so new in the blogging world – usually I’m just writing! The idea of attending a Halloween party is just awesome :)) Thanks for hosting (*tries to figure out how to send you a bottle of wine as a hostess gift… digitally)
Aww thanks my lovely!
I’m always curious about the lives of fellow bloggers and what they are about. I recently began Saturday interviews in my blog. Here’s this week’s interview.

Thanks for sharing your link my lovely!

This is a really great party and I’m meeting some lovely people. I didn’t know blog parties could be such fun.
This is my second link. Nothing to do with Halloween, but a lot to do with Jane Austen. https://aprilmunday.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/jane-austen-lived-here/
I’m so glad you’re having a good time April! Thanks for sharing a link!
This will keep me busy during trick-or-treat tonight. This is a piece of flash fiction I wrote http://yourblogcoach.com/2015/09/10/i-hate-shrinks/ Hope you like it.
Thanks for organizing the party!
Hi Alice! Thank you very much for sharing a link – feel free to go and say hello to all the other bloggers!
