Country Fair Blog Party: December 2016

It's the start of a new month and time for another great blog party to start!  Before we get into this month's Country Fair Blog Party, Jan from the Tip Garden and I would like to thank everyone for your comments last month on the direction we should take with the blog party!  The winner of last months Holiday Gift Bag was chosen via Rafflecopter... and drum roll please... The winner is:  Julie Raye-Rodriguez!!

Country Fair Blog Party Holiday Gift Bag Giveaway
Enjoy Julie!
Jan will be contacting you via email to get your shipping address to get your gift bag in the mail.  Congratulations once again!

As for 2017, What Comes Next?  Both Jan and myself joined in as co-hosts to share the load with others as a group of bloggers and we now find ourselves just too busy to run it just by ourselves, or alone as individuals.  So very reluctantly, it has come time to let it go.

Not totally goodbye:  Now while Jan and I are both going to take a break from the Country Fair Blog Party after this month, we both still enjoy hosting blog hops.  We have some ideas floating around on maybe some special holiday or seasonal parties we might lead in the future, and if and when we dream up and take action on something new, we plan on inviting all of you.

Thank you for your support!  We have the best bloggers here at the Country Fair Blog Party!  The friendliest, most caring, and willing to share and uplift each other.  We are grateful for you coming back month after month and sharing your life with us.  We cherish not just the networking but relationships built through this Blog Hop!

Now that I've update all of you on the Country Fair Blog Party, let's celebrate by recognizing the top viewed posts in November.  Last month we had a tie for the most clicked post:  

Country Fair Blog Party Blue Ribbon Winner: Cooking with Carlee's French Silk Brownies


Country Fair Blog Party Blue Ribbon Winner: Delightful Repast's Pumpkin Bundt Cake


Both of these desserts look perfect to share with family over the holidays!  Congratulations to both Jean and Carlee!

  1. Val, I feel honored to have had my pumpkin bundt cake tied for number of views with something chocolate! Hope people like my pecan tart. Sorry to see this end, it's the only monthly blog party I know of, but I totally understand. It must be a tremendous amount of work.

  3. I just read your post and I have to say that I really like the idea of a monthly blog party! It's very interesting to see how the community discusses topics and shares advice. I was particularly impressed by how the organizers take readers' comments into account and even select winners using Rafflecopter — this adds interactivity and encourages participation. In addition, after reading your post, I came across a useful article on how to attend rehabilitation without losing your job at https://genesishouse.net/blog/using-fmla-to-attend-rehab-without-losing-your-job/ . I think this could be a valuable resource for those looking for advice on balancing treatment and career. Overall, your blog creates a sense of community and usefulness, and I look forward to the next party!

  11. Wonderful article — it warmly sums up the Country Fair Blog Party and shares the most delightful recipes from the participants. By the way, if you ever need certified translations, notarization, or an apostille in Alberta, I recommend alberta translation services
    from Translation Agency of Canada. Their accredited translators work quickly, ensuring full confidentiality and accuracy — a reliable solution for any personal or business documents.

  13. Autumn fairs are always warm, filled with the aroma of homemade baked goods and the smiles of friends. The Country Fair Blog Party has a real atmosphere of unity and care. And just as homeowners care about the comfort of their homes, it is important to have reliable professionals nearby, such as plumber etobicoke so that comfort always remains impeccable.
