Monday Social #6

Welcome to 

Monday Social #6

Thanks for joining us!



The hostess this week is 

Do you Instagram?
I do and I'm hooked.
It's so fun and quick to add a photo of whatever you are doing at any given moment.
I took the photo above as I left my house the other morning.  It occurred to me that I wanted to share my fun Jack-o-lantern, but he wasn't blog post material. Ta da... post him to Instagram.

You can edit photos (if you want) right there on Instagram.
Then comes the magic.
Followers will instantly let you know that they like what you've shared.
A simple hashtag can lead you to find lots of people who like the same kinds of things as you.
#vintage #Frenchcountrydecor #Farmhousestyle #Mondaysocialparty #pumpkins
You get the idea.

Stuck waiting a few minutes for an appointment?
Just scroll through all the latest eye candy from everyone you follow.
Before you know it, the nurse is saying your name for the third time.

I'd love for you to follow me on Instagram.
And then add your Instagram photos to this party!
We want to find you and follow you
 (on Instagram silly....)

Monday Social
is a social gathering of friends where we connect with others by visiting them on 

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or a Blog.  

That's right, you do not have to write a blog to participate in Monday Socials.
You can also link photos from Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Find the addresses for your friends' sites, and 
link your addresses for friends to find. 

*****

Each Sunday at 4:00 p.m. party goers link up photos from one of four sites, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and/or a Blog.  

Old-fashioned socials were held on/in lawns, porches, parlors, churches... where friends mixed, mingled, and shared their lives... and exchanged their calling cards that gave their names and contact information. 

Monday Social is a 21st century social where we exchange our calling cards (link our URL addresses) for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and a Blog.
