This means we are not limited to using the service for personal blogs only, and can throw parties based on stores, shops, and selling as well. If you are submitting parties based on a store, or selling, please be sure to state that in your descriptions.<br /><br />Please note all submitted links require approval and a link back to the Blog. You can do so by grabbing the code found below on all pages. If for some reason you can not use code on your page, a text link to HOPIN N CROPIN linking to http://hopincropincreations.blogspot.com/ will be fine<br /><br />I do check each link to the directory for a verified webpage or blog, (no spammy sites) and the link back to our blog. Once verified your Linky Party and Blog Hops and Trains will be activated with 48 hours.<br /><br />Above and beyond our required link back, you have the option to grab the code to this directory (or any of our directory page codes) and place them on your own sites. This will generate traffic for you, and you will be helping to support our directory. People will be able to submit links directly to your site without leaving. You have to do nothing but place the codes on your own sites, the directory will update itself automatically.<br /><br />Thanks for your support!Sojournstar Mediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02531029443839917413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881790966251431231.post-15440780798443350182019-10-01T00:00:00.000-07:002019-10-01T00:00:02.290-07:00HALLOWEEN 2019 WELCOME TO ANOTHER HALLOWEEN BLOG TRAIN FROM DIGISCRAPCAFE.COM.<br />

<br />
It has been a while, and I have been neglecting the blogs for life in reality, because Sh@t happens, ya know.<br />
<br />
I don't normally post posts like this on the main page, but there is a very cool Linky Party that I am contributing to today, and also in the hopes of reviving some of these Link Parties too.<br />
<br />
This one is called Postcard Friendship Friday, and I just added it to the Friday Directory above, so here goes.<br />
<br />
In the 60's my Mum and Dad owned the hotel you see in the pics. Obviously called the Ocean Grande, it was one of the last Deco buildings left from the era of designer <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Roy F. France</span><br />

Sadly this beautiful structure lost it's battle against the new horrible box corporations, and was torn down a few years ago. I was still so young when I remember spending summers in the pool that overlooked the ocean, so many memories. It will always remain in my heart.<br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">This one is a Monthly Vintage Flea Market that is going live the first of every month!
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">If you sell or collect vintage or antique items, or craft, or create vintage media such as art, etc. you will love this. You are welcome to add up to 4 items a month to this simple and easy link list, (maybe more items if this works out well) and link them directly to your blog posts, or store product page where they can purchase the product directly from you. All links open in a new window so no loss of traffic, but you most likely will gain new traffic and customers. </span></b></div>
