Yay! It’s fun time this time. Can you believe that January is finished already? Phew! I can’t stop saying it, time sure flies.

Welcome to my house and Happy New Year to all those I haven’t chatted with this year. I hope your weekend is going great.

Here is a toast to a great year.

Now let’s meet & mingle, shake a leg & jingle, connect & interact with other awesome folks in here.

If this is your first-time visit, the rules of play are outlined below, if you are an old-timer, you know the drill.

Grab some refreshments arranged down the page. Feel free to indulge, these are zero calories😉

Just some little party rules:

  1. You must mix and mingle with others. Don’t be a wallflower. Go say hello to someone, follow them home – this is the only time you are allowed to follow a stranger home on a first date 😉
  2. Let us know where you are blogging from.
  3.  Please leave your blog link or post link in the comment box below along with introductions.
  4. It’s one link per comment, but come back as often as you’d like, that way it’s easier to focus on a link at a time for others.
  5. Please reblog, spread the word of the party like butter, or like, share on Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, etc. Tell your family, friends,  blogging neighbours, even your blogging pets.
  6. Have fun, it’s a great way to find bloggers and have them find you.
  7. Please show some love. Reblog this post. It helps all of us! The more people that see and participate in it, the more potential new follows! So, share and share voraciously!

Thank you for coming to my party and supporting my blog. You rock.

Have you checked out my YouTube channel yet? I have a word for you.

 

10 Things I know about you

1) You are reading this.

2) You are human.

3) You can’t say the letter ”P” without separating your lips.

4) You just attempted to do it.

6) You are laughing at yourself.

7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5.

8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5.

9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person & everyone does it too.

10) You are probably going to send this to see who else falls for it. 🙂

A little riddle

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Please check out the newly launched Author Zone just in case you have a book to promote or someone who you want to promote. Share the post as well. Thank you

REBLOG & INVITE MORE AWESOME FOLKS.

  1. Awesome party Jackie!
    I guess this is where I introduce myself. I am Yinglan and I am currently blogging from China. A month ago, I was living in a small suburb 30 miles from Salt Lake City and now, I am out of the snowy weather and celebrating Chinese New Year with my family in China.

    Happy Chinese New Year, by the way! 😀

    The festivity is so much more awesome here than in the U.S. I’ve been receiving red envelopes all day. Anyway, I am attending a new year party in a short while, so I will be back to mingle later. Here is the link to my blog where I write a variety of stories – fiction, non-fiction, travel, and photography.

  5. Hi Jackie, Thank you for opening up your blog home! It’s been quite a journey to get here but with the help of Eugenia’s directions, I made it 😊 I brought some healthy smoothies 🍹with me as some of us have a long way to go back home afterwards! My blog is PearsnotParsnips, a light-hearted health and wellbeing blog with easy juice, smoothie, & vegan, gluten-free recipes and some creative posts. Here’s a link to a recent post: The Environmental Benefits of Adopting a Vegan/Vegetarian Diet, http://wp.me/p6UDky-48S Have a great weekend everyone 💜

  8. Hi everyone! I haven’t been to one of Jacqui’s blog parties in a a while and I’m so glad I dropped by. My name is Kim and I’m from writinginnorthnorfolk.com. I live in Norfolk, England, and have been blogging on WordPress for almost two years, I post poetry pretty much every day and hope to self-publish a book of poetry this year. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

  11. Hi Jacqueline! Wow, didn’t realise there was a party on – just dropped by. Been really busy, so this caught me out. I’ll just grab some of those nibbles, if you don’t mind – hey! My favourites! Right, perhaps I’ll get a drink, too. Oh, I see you have a red wine! Perhaps I’ll hang around a bit longer…

    Offer of toast from the Wolf of Wall Street seems irresistible

    Will like to add a hilarious comment from one of my readers:

    “it’s natural,
    my dog
    walks me”

  21. Jacqueline, so lovely to see you, and thanks for the invite. Great to see so many dropping by and some travelling from so far away. I’m in Stapleford, near Nottingham (where the sheriff used to be so nasty to Robin Hood).
    I’m sorry to say I didn’t pack any food or drinks, so I’ll just dip in to share what is already here. I’ll try to remember to bring some tasty morsels next time.
    My blog is a miscellany of real and imaginary, just reflecting my mind! You can find me at

    I look forward to discovering some new friends along the way.

  22. Hi Jacqueline. Thanks for the invitation to your party. Good idea and it was fun to see you in person on your video. I am busy today getting ready for an open studio at my house. It is part of the Art Walk in La Manzanilla–a seaside village on the west coast of Mexico where I will be for 3 months this year. The past few years I’ve been here for 2 months a year but the time seems to get shorter and shorter so I expanded it this year. For the rest of the year, I live in San Juan Cosala on Lake Chapala in Jalisco. (Near Guadalajara.) My blog is mainly a daily poem that I write for the WordPress Prompt and several photo blogs–many of them Cee’s challenges. Please stop by. Later today, I’ll post some more photos of my art. Meanwhile, have a peek at “Boob Tube!” I’ll peek at several blogs as well and more once this open studio is out of the way. Happy January.

  26. Hi everyone! I’m Elizabeth from http://thecomfortablecoop.com My blog is about everything to make a comfortable home and it also features some of my weird thoughts. Jackie, this is a great party and I actually did try the “P” thing, checked for number 5, and laughed so hard my husband gave me a funny look (which made me laugh harder!).

  32. Jacqueline thank you for the invite to the party. Yours are some of my most favourite parties because I wake up late on a Saturday and there’s fruit and chocolate cake waiting for me. The best combination anytime of day. There is no time of day chocolate cake isn’t a good thing 🙂

    I wanted to share a blogging tip, as I go through some new blogs and I do this a lot at parties. I get a bit annoyed when a blogger doesn’t have a follow me button of some kind near the top side of their page, especially when I search and search and can’t find it. So please for the sake of those who wish to follow you by email, have some type of follow me button very visibly at the top and bottom of your blog, whether it be to receive emails by following you, or it is a WordPress follow button or a’suscribe to this blog button’ anything works. Make it easy for people to want to follow you 🙂 I say this in a most helpful way if you catch my drift.

    Also, please if you’re not offended now, feel free to Checkout my blog. It’s http://www.mandibelle16.wordpress.com. I write a vsriety of poetry, short fiction, sometimes serial fiction, and nonfiction pieces such as blogger/writer interviews biweekly and beauty hauls every few months, a long with some pieces on fashion or beauty and interior design intermingled as a recent beauty piece I had was.
    I’m working in the second draft of my novel as well, a paranormal Romance which can be found on Wattpad by @mandibelle16 @AMWilson. It’s called: ‘How Was Last Night?’ Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

    And if you would like to be part of my writer/blogger interview series please send me a note on my Contact Page. Thanks again Jacqueline!

      1. Yeah, we all have preferences, I agree. Either way, I think having the follow button highly visible is important either way a reader chooses to read/follow a blog 🙂

    Hi friends! Welcome to Jacqueline’s Meet ‘n’ Greet! I absolutely love her parties because you don’t have to be a blogger to enjoy yourself. I always find interesting blogs to follow and interesting folks to collaborate with. It just affirms my belief that Two Are Better Than One! If you’re a blogger, there’s no better place to network and draw readers to your creative space. May blessings abound! ❤

  46. Hi! It’s been a long time since I’ve attended one of your parties….I’m actually visiting your town this week so I took this as a sign that I should participate in your virtual world.
    I don’t really understand the concept of this party. How does this work? Is this a kind of community that you are fostering? Is there a theme/meme we have to follow?
    Glad you had a good January . May the rest of the year bring good things too.
