Remember when Linkys were all the rage in blogging? They were a great way to find and get to know other bloggers before social media and Pinterest became mainstream. It didn’t hurt that they brought a ton of traffic to your site too. Lindsi and I started our Fun Stuff Fridays linky back in 2011. We kept it going for 20 weeks before it fizzled out (or we got sick of doing it, I’m not sure which happened).
It is now soon to be 2017 and at lot of the links in those linkies no longer exist. Plus, I’ve let my link up subscription lapse so you can’t get to them anyway. Instead of deleting the Fun Stuff Fridays posts, however, I have decided to clean them up and make sure our featured links are still valid. After all, on a rare occasion I get traffic from one of these old posts. The linky may be gone but the featured posts are still valid as of December 2016…
Welcome to Fun Stuff Fridays. We love seeing what our readers have been up to and cannot wait to share some of our favorites! We wish we could feature all of them! Can’t wait to see your amazing submissions this week! Feel free to submit as many ideas as you want over that time. And remember- spread the word!
One thing we’ve added is something that we hope you will like. We’ve been pinning each weeks featured picks into their very own Pintrest board! We hope it brings you loads of linky love….you’ve earned it! You can find our Featured Pintrest Board HERE!
Our joint favorite pick was the Smiling Shamrock Shakes for St. Patrick’s Day submitted by Hungry Happenings. Not only does the milkshake look delicious, but it’s in an EDIBLE cup! Seriously–who thinks of an edible cup?! (Reminds us of that scene in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory where Wonka eats the yellow tea cup!) Total bonus!
Jamie’s number one pick was Oatmeal Container Planetarium submitted by Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational. I have always loved the stars and finding the different constellations. Thanks to the Google Sky Map app on my phone, my girls are also getting into the stars now too. What a great and fun way to teach them about the stars!
Lindsi’s number one pick was Family Tree Pendant submitted by Lady With The Red Rocker. I bookmarked this for a “hint” to my hubby for a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. I can’t tell you how much I adore this! I must have it!
Thank you so much for this wonderful line up!

Thanks for featuring my Smiling Shamrock Shakes in Edible Cups. I absolutely love the scene in Willy Wonka where they get to eat the flowers, leaves, balls, etc. What a dream that would be!
