Our 600th Party on Happiness Is Homemade
Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #600
Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #600!
WHAT A MILESTONE THIS IS!!!
I'm Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and it is my absolute pleasure to host our #600 blog hop as my last party for the month of August.
Looking back, I realized that I have been a hostess since 2015 - THAT IS 10 YEARS! I didn't even realize how long I had been participating. Not to mention I didn't even join at the very beginning of the party's creation, so this party has been going on for a LONG TIME! It looks like I started with party #88 - holy cow!
We've had many incredible hostesses over the years and I am proud to say that both myself, Sinea from Ducks ‘n a Row and Linda of A Labour of Life are the longest standing original hostesses - thank you ladies for your time and care! Beverly from Eclectic Red Barn has also been with us for quite a long time too, maybe at least 8 years, is that right Bev?
We are so happy to have our two newest hostess' on board - Susan from The Bay To The Beach and Esme of Esme Salon - whose enthusiasm and dedication is bringing a fresh new life to our party!
Even though our hosts have changed over the years, one thing still remains the same, our dedication to you - our readers - to bring you new and exciting content every week from your favorite bloggers. We hope you enjoy exploring our link party as much as we love hosting it for you!

This Week's Features
To involve all of our incredible hostess' for this monumental party, I've asked each to choose one feature to highlight this week.
Linda's Pick
DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns
I'm pretty sure our resident Canadian blogger's favorite season is fall - am I right Linda??? She is so crafty and loves a good DIY, so I'm not surprised she picked this DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns tutorial for her feature. Let us know if you make them!
Sinea's Pick
Not only do our hostess' organize each week's party but we contribute too! Linda submitted this post for Chicken Walnut Stuffed Pumpkin and Sinea was all about it! She especially loves the images Linda shared on her post - bravo! This looks really tasty Linda, perfect for a single-mom's dinner!
Bev's Pick
Our hostess Bev is a HUGE DIY'er and lover of all things outdoors and country, so I'm not surprised she chose this post utilizing Pine Cone Decor from Fall to Winter for her feature. I love using pinecones in my decor too, Bev! I even have one hung in the house to help me tell if it's going to rain that day or not.
Katie's Pick (me!)
I love lemonade so much, it's one of my favorite summer time bevies. Yes, yes I know summer is over BUT September is WNY where I live can still be quite warm! So if you are looking to spice up your lemonade before it starts to get cold, try making this Electric Lemonade.
Susan's Pick
As a newly single mom of three I am always looking for cheap and quick ways to decorate, and with Halloween being one of my FAVORITE holidays, I know that this post Susan chose will come in real handy - Budget Friendly DIY Ghost Decor. You don't have to spend hours or a small fortunate to making things look festive!
Esme's Pick
This recipe looks so heart-warming and mouth-watering to me. I know that soup season is upon us but I'm always down for a delicious chicken dish. Esme chose this recipe for Apricot Chicken with Truffle Oil Mustard and I'm not going to lie - I'm adding truffle oil to next week's grocery list to try this one out!
THANK YOU LADIES FOR HOSTING WITH ME THIS WEEK AND HELPING SELECT THE FEATURES!
I think I speak for all the hostess' when I say how happy we are to provide this space for content creators and readers to share and enjoy. Please help us spread the word by sharing this party on your socials!

Creating Small Vignettes and You Are The Star
Creating Small Vignettes and You Are The Star
Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was pretty good.
I won't bore you with details, but we are dealing with my MIL who fell and broke her back. She is 97 and there is nothing they can do because of her age. It is hard on my FIL who is 96 and not sure what to do. Time will tell.
Have a great week ahead.
WELCOME to the August 2025 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share from my blog:
