June 2020 – Best of the Month Summer Break

Welcome to the June Best of the Month link party! 

*Please note, after this June party, the Best of the Month party will be taking a break for at least the summer.  

After much consideration, we’ve decided to discontinue the Best of the Month Party for now.  We will continue to blog and will keep you posted if we decide to open the party back up in the fall.  Please know that we appreciate all your visits and your contributions to the party every month.

As always, at this link party we invite you to link up your creative posts which may include home decor, DIY, crafts, recipes, tips and more!

Let’s get started…

Best of the Month blog party - Summer Break Inspiration

 

Each month, when you link up to Best of the Month, your link will appear on both our blogs.

Before we begin this month’s party, let’s take a look back at our last party…

Every month, we share the most popular post from the previous party on both of our blogs.  In addition, each hostess picks a few favorites to share.  Be sure to check out each of our blogs to see all the features!

Each month, I also share the features on my Instagram stories…so be sure to follow along!

 

TO GET US STARTED, THIS IS WHAT I SHARED ON MY BLOG RECENTLY:

As the days get longer and warmer, we are spending more time outdoors.  Recently, I shared some simple ideas for outdoor spaces.

With all the patriotic holidays in the summer, I was inspired to create a summer themed patriotic table with baseballs.

  1. Hey Shelley,
    I hope you have a relaxing summer in some sort of way! The way everything is going, it’s kinda hard to relax!! But maybe you can do a project or plan projects or something. Projects are certainly keeping me busy, and camping in our camper (which is perfect for avoiding germs), and planning a mini course for my blog!

    Keep in touch,
    Liberty
