Welcome to the To Grandma’s House We Go Link Party #509. My mom sent me a bunch of a pictures of a big black bear and three cubs up a tree right in her front yard. She only lives a quarter of a mile from me so I think its safe to say the lone bear who visited me (who I was calling a “he”) was actually a she. I guess mama bears will often leave their cubs in “babysitter trees” so they can forage alone – isn’t that adorable? “Now kids, don’t leave this tree! I’ll be back in a bit.” Now, on to the party!

This link party is about all of us sharing homemade, homemaking, DIY, recycling, upcycling, before and afters (of rooms, furniture, whatever), build projects, vintage, any kind of creative, frugal, time saving, money saving or green advice, canning and old fashioned recipes. Going back to simpler times, simpler days where we used all that we had and never bought new until there was absolutely no choice.

Five features will be chosen every week, promoted when the next party starts, shared across all of our social media and included in our weekly newsletter! I’ll tag you if I can on Instagram and Facebook too!

I’m sad to say that lots of bloggers have stopped hosting link parties but I would really miss you guys! I’ve been hosting this party for over 400 weeks, so as long as you guys keep sharing, I’ll keep this party going!

Rules:

* (If you share with us you’re giving us permission to use one of your images if you’re featured.)

* Your shares don’t need to be new just new to us.

* Make sure you check out a few other links while you’re here.

* Follow us on at least one social platform (I will follow back!)
