Welcome to my blog party!
I haven’t hosted a blog party in a very long time, and there are a few things that I would like to take the opportunity to celebrate:
- Suzie Speaks hit 20,000 collective followers a little while ago
- I am getting married next week
- Halloween is approaching
I thought it would be a brilliant opportunity to create a space for the blogging community to share a few links from their blog and potentially meet new people. I always have a great time, with hundreds of links being shared, and it means that I get the chance to find new blogs to follow and catch up on some posts that I have missed.
For those of you who have never participated in a blog party before, here are the rules:
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 overall and should be from your blog – I will delete any posts shared for someone else – and spend the time visiting other bloggers instead.
2. Copy the URL
3. Paste the link in the comment section of this post.
4. Make sure that it is blog posts only please! No Amazon pages, YouTube, Spotify, group boards, Facebook groups or Etsy promotion – I will delete these and any further links from anyone who ignores this.
5. Enjoy! Relax, pull up a chair and meet new people! Find new blogs, comment on their posts, be polite, courteous and respectful and don’t forget to follow, reblog, tweet, pin, stumble and share.
* Comment directly on someone’s POST, not in the comment section of this post if you are responding to them. ‘Nice post’ is not an acceptable comment – make it meaningful.
* Retweet my pinned tweet on Twitter to invite more people.
* You don’t have to follow me of any of my social media, but you’re welcome to!
* You don’t have to have been blogging for a specific amount of time or have to have a certain number of followers – everyone is welcome!
* You are also very welcome to invite your friends and you’re welcome to reblog this post too!
This is a really useful way of discovering new blogs, particularly if you have only just joined the blogging world – the general rule that I set myself when I participate is that I check out at least two or three other bloggers if I am sharing a link.
The blog party will be open for 48 hours to give everyone within each timezone the chance to participate.
If you would like to join some Pinterest group boards, I am a social media manager for Pinterest and have numerous clients that are looking for high quality contributors – send me a PM on my Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/suzie81speaks
You can find me on Twitter and Tumblr @suzie81blog, and don’t forget to follow 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
Good morning to all 🙂
First of all, congratulations Suzy!! I wish you too nothing but the best 🙂 🙂 🙂
I saw that some people brought coffee and hot chocolate already,for this early mingling… So I baked some muffins for your guests and brought baskets of them, for everyone to enjoy! (Yeah, that’s the fun of fantasy-baking, I can pretend I have everything necessary to make huge amounts of yum treats at home – including the talent LOL)
I am Cyranny, and you can find me in my Cove, a “convenient blog” where you’ll find a little of everything… Fiction, poetry, anecdotes, pictures, humor… Depending on my feelings “du moment”. Here is a short poem (I never know what to share in these gatherings, since my posts are so different from one another… hehehe) to introduce my home away from home 🙂

Cheers to our host, and a good day to you all! xx

Hi! Congratulations on your success, and I hope your big day goes beautifully. The best bit of advice I was given was to make sure you stop and pause often enough to take everything in. You’ll be so busy that the day goes past in a blur otherwise.
http://wp.me/p9h7Fw-7F Im new to blogging, but this was yesterday’s reflection on being asked to produce a cake at the last moment for the school Autumn fair.
Hi Suzie, I really appreciate what you do for the blogging community. Here is a recent post, entitled ‘Three benefits of the proverbial tea break’ http://wp.me/pybQ0-1Be
Here’s a recent post from my trip to the Damariscotta Pumpkin Fest. It was ostensibly to sell my books, the latest of which is Death by Pumpkin, based on the pumpkin drop at the Fest, but really I just had fun. THe pumpkin decorating art was imaginative and awesome!

Hi there! My name is Bob. I started blogging in August. I have a unique story to tell of love, loss and resiliency. https://tenthousanddays.blog/ Thank you 🙂
Wow! What a nice reason to celebrate — er, make that THREE reasons to celebrate! Congratulations, Suzie, on all three, including Halloween. In honor of which, here’s a post from a couple of years back about what’s REALLY scary. And it’s not a costume (!) https://lutheranliar.com/be-afraid-be-very-afraid/
Congrats Suzie! Thanks for the blog party and the chance to share. I write music videos reviews. Here’s my latest from my blog I Want My Pop Culture http://iwantmypopculture.com/2017/10/21/video-review-imagine-dragons-whatever-it-takes/
Its always wonderful to be part of your blog party Suzie….:)……here’s a new one I did on the music of Greg Laswell…………..http://mydailyjournalonline.com/greg-laswell-musical-journey/
What a lovely blog party- so many interesting sites to visit. Have a wonderful wedding day, Suzie! My blog is about one of my favourite Edwardian dancers- the notorious Maud Allan https://somerville66.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/the-notorious-edwardian-dancer-maud.html
Hi,
I am Janice. I look forward to meeting more of Suzie’s community.
My favorite post is a recent expert interview I conducted. I interviewed 45 experts about how to avoid ever running out of blog post topics. The post was quite well received when it came to page views and social shares, so I am proud of it. It took me months. Here is the link:

Thanks Suzie for this opportunity and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Congrats Wedding, followers, and Halloween in that order. No I haven’t been around in a long time. You know cats run the internet, don’t you? Don’t see many on here. Your missing a demographic! Could get 20,000 more! Here’s just the latest from me if you want to see a cat walking around:

Congratulations to you! I’m mydangblog, and I write a weekly humour blog. I only post once a week and I’m pretty low maintenance. I do respond to all comments and I hope you find my writing funny! Here’s one of my favourites:

Congratulations! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you return.
October is my favorite month of the year with the crisp, cooler weather, the smells, and the changing leaves, but summer in my neck of the woods can be pretty great too, though it can get hot. Really, really hot. My post is about one such summer day spent with my youngest son searching for waterfalls. It was a day which will remain ever etched in my memory http://alliepottswrites.com/2017/05/11/lets-go-to-the-place-where-the-sidewalk-ends/
Hope I’m not too late to the party! Best of luck next week Suzie :-* I’m going to share one of my most popular posts on selfpublishing, so if you’re a writer getting ready to publish, this one’s for you! https://eviegaughan.com/2017/05/28/the-definitive-self-publishing-checklist-for-people-who-arent-very-organised-and-are-absolute-beginners/
Congrats Suzie, I can’t wait to see all the pictures of your wedding! I know it will be a wonderful day for all of you and I also know you’ll share that joy with all of us. 🙂
So happy you’re having a blog party, your parties are always a lovely way to find new blog friends. Here’s a link to my latest post, back from a blogging break, hope folks will drop by and visit, maybe stay a while (who knows, they might never want to leave). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/09/28/we-were-on-a-break/
Off to visit and share. Thanks again, Suzie, for this party and for #SundayBlogShare and for everything you do for bloggers everywhere.
Hope this weekend treats you kindly, all the best for your wedding (and Halloween of course). 🙂 xox

The party has started!!!
Hi Suzie, sorry I am late to the party, but I am glad I got here. It looks like it is in full swing. Congratulations on reaching 20 000 followers, that is so amazing, but I am not surprised and you deserve it for all the hard work you have put in.

It’s been an interesting day of reading when time permits. There is more to go through. Grateful to all who have found time to post. I thought of another one to share. It is writing related.

Okay, if I end up with two comments I apologize. WordPress has been acting up horribly this evening, and my first comment disappeared. Not the first time this has happened but it is frustrating. Anyway,…….here is what I said,…
What a fun idea! Can’t wait to read about the wedding!!! I’ve already seen some blogs I can’t wait to view. Tomorrow I have decided will be a stay at home all day day, so I look forward to reading some of these blog pages! While I have a few blogs that I am partial to, the one I’m posting is my most recent. It is what is near and dear to my heart and thoughts right now. For those who don’t know me I blog about an eclectic group of subjects, so come on over for a visit anytime!
