Friend Of The Week
Are you ready to make a new blogging friend?
This week, I’d like to introduce you to Donna Stone – a novelist and self-proclaimed book nerd!
Donna is very busy with her craft! She writes:
I am currently deep into edits of my first novella for young adults, a story to encourage young ladies to accept themselves and their families. Another YA, an adoption message of hope from tragic circumstance, is destined for the ACFW Genesis contest. A third book, a contemporary women’s still in the draft stage, travels a decades long love story marred by life and Alzheimer’s.
Be sure to visit Donna this week and extend her a warm welcome as our latest Friend of the Week at Friendship Friday. You can sample her writing at her latest Friendship Friday post, Beloved!
What’s On Your Playlist This Weekend?
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! What’s on your playlist this weekend? I”m currently listening to this beautiful ballad by Hunter Hayes called Wanted…

Good evening! Thank you for hosting such a fun blog hopping party! Lots of things to see! I hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful valentines day!
thanks for the party.I joined with social Media boost too,although I am new to Stumble Upon.
Have a Fantastic Weekend!
Thank you so much for hosting. I was so excited to see the Stumble share! I want to build my stumble! I followed everyone on the list above me & their great sites!!!
Suzie, I’m so glad the Stumble Upon link-up us so timely for you!
Be sure to check back later in the week so you can connect with everyone who comes after you as well!
To make sure people know you’ve followed, be sure to leave a comment as Stumble Upon does not automatically notify you of your new followers (at least it doesn’t to the best of my knowledge).
Have a great weekend and I look forward to connecting with you! 🙂
Good evening. Thank you for hosting this wonderful blog hopping party! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a great valentines day!
haha – oops! I got busy looking at all the posts and forgot I already thanked you for the party! hahaha – see – I get so involved I would forget myself! You can delete this comment and the one above. 🙂
That’s so funny, Vickie, but that’s what I love to see – someone so immersed in the party that they lose track of all else!
Have a fabulous weekend! 🙂

Thanks Paula – hope your weekend rocked!
Thanks for the link up! I love your site! I was super quick to get my link in this week (I think I was #2 or #3) but some how my link was deleted…SO, now I’m at the bottom of the list. 🙂 I love these link ups! Happy <3 day!
Hi Mindy,
Thanks for joining us – I’m SO happy to have you at our party too!
I did drop you a few notes about the links (this part is for EVERYONE). Please note that there are currently TWO link-ups on Friendship Friday each week. The first link-up is for SOCIAL MEDIA link-ups ONLY. The second link-up – the one with the photos – is for blog posts.
I am asking EVERYONE to PLEASE post to the correct lists and I am now enforcing this to make it easier for those who are participating in the Social Media Boost to quickly go through and follow everyone on the list – and to make those who are connecting with other bloggers to SEE what everyone is sharing!
This week I contacted the few bloggers whose links were removed from the Social Media Boost, explained what happened, and asked them to repost on the Friendship Friday list because there were only a few but my time is limited and I will not be able to do this in the future – so everyone, PLEASE, read the rules and scroll through everything before linking up!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Happy Valentines Day!
Thank you so much Marcie – hugs to you too! 🙂
I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you. If you wouldn’t mind putting a comment on my review today it would mean a lot to me. It’s about a power drink called BodyArmor thank you very much! Have a wonderful weekend and as always the hostess with the mostess!!!!
Thank you for hosting! I look forward to check out all the friendly links.

Bonjour all – hope you are having a good week. Look forward to meeting more of you this week 🙂
