Well, today is the day I am going to make my BIG announcement!

And no, I am not pregnant! :0) Thank the Lord!

To be quite honest, this announcement is a lot bigger to me than to you, but I am very excited about it!

I am having a PARTY right here on my blog, and I am inviting ALL of you to come!

Drum roll, please…………………..

Yipee!!! Doesn’t that sound fun?!!

Let me explain why I am hosting this fab party.

First of all, I have wanted to do a Linky Party for several months now but didn’t really have an idea for one that I liked.

I thought about doing a weekly Linky Party, but that’s just too much work for me. I know that would end up stressing me out.

I thought I would do much better with a once-a-month party, but still couldn’t come up with a theme.

So I stopped thinking about it.

And then it hit me! :)

Let’s have a party where we can link up our best DIY projects of the month!

I loved that idea! My favorite Linky Parties in blogland were at the end of last year. Ya know, the ones where everyone listed their best projects of 2009? I loved those!!!

Let’s face it. We all do projects during the month…some turn out great…some not so great. And it’s hard to come up with a project every week for all of the Linky Parties going on.

But here’s the good news! At the end of the month, you KNOW that you can come by to my party and find the best projects of the month…all in one place! Awesome!

Here’s how it works:

1. Only one entry per person. You can chose your best DIY project of the month by which one got the most comments on your blog, or which one was your personal favorite.

2. If you enter a project, you must “pinky promise” to leave comments on 3 to 5 other blogger’s projects. (It’s no fun if no one stops by to see your project, right?)

3. The party is going to be for home-related DIY projects. The projects could be a lot of things…furniture re-dos, crafty creations, home improvement ideas, tutorials, etc. (But I’m thinking no recipes, if that’s okay.) :)

I would love it if you would spread the news on your blog.
