Welcome Virtual Valentine's Day Party Guests!

I have been so excited about this Virtual Valentine’s Day Party. Can’t believe it is finally starting today. The last few weeks I have been creating crafts with JDaniel and testing out new recipes to share with you. It has been hard to not share them with you as we did them. Many of you have been anxious to share your ideas with other party guests too. I heard from one of you that you were so excited about one of your projects you couldn’t wait until the party to share it.

The Purpose

This Valentine’s Day gathering is a time  to share your party ideas, enter giveaways planned just for the party, and to mingle with other guests. I hope you take the time to share your posts and visit other party guests.


Party Idea Link Up

There is a link below for you to post your Valentine’s Day Party related posts. Each family friendly or child related post linked up will need to have a Virtual Valentine’s Day Party badge or a link at the bottom of it pointing back to the Virtual Valentine’s Day Party Link Up. One of the people that links up a post that contains a badge or link back will be randomly selected to receive a $10 Visa Gift Card. You may link up to four posts during the party.

Here is the badge:
                                                               


                                                            


What party is any fun without guests mingling and getting to know each other?


I am also going to randomly pick a comment stating the two link up posts a commenter has visited to receive a prize too. You will be able to leave as many comments as you like making the above statement. I will check to make sure that you have really visited the two posts you have said you have. The prize is a $15 Visa Gift Card.






 

Reminder:
In order to be eligible for the $15 Visa Gift Card, you have to visit two of the links above, leave comments on the posts you select, and leave me a comment telling me which two you visited. You can enter as many times as you like. You will need to visit two posts for each entry.

Examples:

Entry One: I visited link 1 and 35. Each post has a comment from me.

Entry Two: I am still visiting. This time I visited link 25 and 43. Each post has a comment from me.

Entry Nine: I am having such a great time visiting. This time I visited link 50 and 3. Each post has a comment from me.

Just leaving a comment is wonderful, but doesn't count as an entry.
