Favorite {Monthly} Linkups
I’ve seen so many bloggers over the last few months feeling a little overwhelmed with the whole blogging thing and struggling with ideas for posts. I definitely struggle some months more than others. Something a little different and out of the ordinary some months is just what I need to spark a creative burst and give me a little motivation to post. I thought this week I would share a few of my very favorite monthly linkup parties
{Queen Bees Linkup}
A little selfish putting this one up first since I obviously couldn’t love it more. Co-hosted with my friend Queen Katy on the second Tuesday each month we encourage others to link up and post about a woman in your life who has inspired you. Read a little more on what this linkup is all about here. We would LOVE to have you share.
{Every Girl Linkup}
Rachel & Astleigh created this fun little linkup at the beginning of the year and you still have a little more time to join the fun! I can’t wait to see what they come up with for 2016.

See all the fun and fashionable bloggers I link up with all week long here.
We have some fall fun planned this weekend but first oil changes, tire rotations and a little yard work is in store! What are you guys doing this weekend?
Don’t forget Farmgirl Paints cuff shop is only open a few more weeks and you can save 15% using the code FANGIRLSHELLYJ. Some of my favorites I’ve seen this go around have been Have Courage and Be Kind, Grace Upon Grace, and I love the pink below with the joy, joy, joy down in my heart. So fun!
Not into cuffs? She has these sweet ornaments to be personalized.
My only caution is they can be incredibly addicting!! Be sure to use code FANGIRLSHELLYJ and receive 15% off your order!
Yay! Thank you for mentioning our Bookworm Wednesday link-up! I can't wait until you finish and book and can join 🙂 I haven't done Queen Bees yet…what the heck! When is your next one again?!
Thanks for sharing these! Quite a few I didn't know about. I enjoy link ups for meeting new blogging friends. <3
What a fun post!! I hadn't heard about some of these link ups and look forward to checking them out. Thanks for sharing! Have a beautiful weekend, Shelly! xo – Brenda // Chatting Over Chocolate
I am finishing up For the Love and can't wait to share! You, girlie, have been just a tad busy so no worries at all. I do know, however, that you have some amazing women in your life so when you do have time we would love to have you join! 2nd Tuesday each month so that is next week. 🙂
Me too Heather! I love all the weekly linkups too but they tend to get so big that it is hard to really "click" with others. I've had fun with some of these smaller ones. Have a super weekend!
I'm glad you liked it….I've really just had so much fun with some of the monthly linkups and they help me be a little more creative sometimes. Have a great weekend!
Love this post – I always feel so last minute to go search for where my favorite link-ups are. I just started drafts for 10 posts with the appropriate dates saved – so thanks! 🙂 You are also one of my favorites!
Love this! I am taking October off from blogging. We have so much going on in our personal lives with relocating and I just need to concentrate on my family but I am anxious to get back to consisten blogging! Have a great weekend my friend !
Great idea for new and old bloggers looking for topics and finding new blogs to follow.

Ok…how have I missed that you are relocating??!!! Good for you taking a break….family should always, always come first and we will all be here waiting when you return.
Thanks Liz….I struggle with keeping up with it all so I did this as much for me as for everyone else. 🙂
Thanks for all the ideas. Some of these were new to me. I agree that sometimes the link ups get too big to really get to know the fellow bloggers. Have a great weekend!
Bookworm Wednesday…now that is interesting. Will have to check that out. Thanks for the ideas..
Same day as Wino Wednesday…thinking I may have to have a good pairing 😉
Enjoying this beautiful Texas fall morning…wishing the temp would hold all day! Excited about a 3 day weekend. Hope y'all are doing something fun!
After reading this, I decided to pair the two together too! I have the perfect pair, now I have to finish the book in ample time. If you decide to do it, I'll shout you out on my blog that day.
Totally my plan…I finished For the Love this morning…I mean what's better than love for Jesus and wine all in the same blogpost 😉 I also just finished Paper Towns and couldn't believe how much I loved it.
Thanks for including bookworm Wednesday! I need to check out some of these other ones 🙂
I am all ready for the next one..two books read…check!
ummm…genius! I can't believe I never once thought to do that!
