Let's Be Friends Blog Hop 199 is LIVE!

A blog hop is a set time frame for current or aspiring bloggers to find new blogs and quality content. It is a great way to make new friends and find inspiration! It is also a fabulous way to promote your own blog and posts.

Dear Friends,
What a day to celebrate! This is the 199th week of the Let’s Be Friends blog hop! Thanks for joining us on this special day. Chelsee and Tiffany are extremely delighted to see the way this hop has grown and love to see your faces each week!

Join us every Tuesday at 7am (MST). This blog hop focuses on content. LINK UP YOUR FAVORITE POST from last week in this fun content-sharing blog hop! I love the idea of blog hopping, but I love the idea of reading posts and quality content on new blogs I’ve never been to even more. Instead of simply linking up your blog button, you are now able to link up your favorite post you recently wrote. Have a delicious recipe to share, DIY tutorial, or heartfelt post? Share it with us! All hosts and co-hosts put up some unique and fun content from the past week. Make sure to check them out. P.S.- you may still link up your blog button and blog name, but it is encouraged to link up your favorite post instead. You will get more page views and interest if you do so! Some of the most successful blog hops I have participate in focus on content rather than just exchanging follows. You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!

The BEST part of this blog hop? Each week there will be a WINNER! That’s right, each week we will choose one lucky blog to feature from the previous week’s hop. This hop receives thousands of page views every week, so your blog will have the chance to be center stage for free. You must follow all the hosts in order to win. Only those who link up a specific post are eligible to be featured! *You must follow all the hosts and co-hosts in order to win.

Blog Post:

Two end tables get a sweet country makeover – before and after

Hi everyone! This is Chelsee this week! I am loving this post by Tarah over at Grandma’s House DIY! I sometimes find posts and blogs that I am so connected to that I read again and again. First of all this post on revamping end tables really caught my eye. I love taking old pieces and giving them an update great enough to be on display. I really enjoyed this post and love how the end tables turned out. You seriously have to check this out to see how amazing they look! So back to my first statement on Tarah’s blog. I am into the chalk paint crazy and yes am counting down the hours till Fixer Upper comes back on. What really struck me about Tarah’s blog is that I am in a very similar situation. I lost my last grandparent this year and will be within the upcoming year remodeling the old farmhouse in remembrance of my mom’s parents. I have so many fond memories in that house and I truly can’t wait to cook in the kitchen I spent so many days in baking with my grandmother. This is why I truly love blogland. You can find endless ideas, support and others that are going through the very same thing. I am sharing this little spill to let you know if you are going through this you are not alone.

Make sure you check out Grandma’s House DIY!
