All Aboard!
I am SO very excited to announce that I will be hosting The Great Blog Train Blog Hop on the first Wednesday of month from here on out! This is a BRAND NEW blog hop which was created by Angie @ God's Growing Garden, Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures and myself! We worked really hard all December to put together this blog hop and get everything prepared for this great adventure! I hope you will join us as we make new blogging friends!

The Great Blog Train
A monthly blog hop departing from your online train station on the first Wednesday of every month!
About The Name & Blog Hop
The railway and trains helped build North America and brought people together. We also want this blog hop to bring people together -- we designed it so that nobody will be left out. Don't worry if you are late boarding this train! Even the caboose will be chugging down the tracks to new relationships because the very last entry will receive a feature next month!
RULES
1. In order to link up to "The Great Blog Train" you must first connect to the Locomotive. Please follow all 3 of the hosts by at least one of the following options: GFC, Twitter, Pinterest, Bloglovin, Linky, Networked Blogs, or Facebook. Then leave us a comment telling us how you followed so that we can come back & visit you! The hostesses are:
Angie
Marci
Helen
2. Now link up your family friendly blog to the train...please only use your homepage, NOT a specific post!
3. And last, but not least, connect to the boxcar in front of you (the blog in the linky just before you). Stop by that person's blog, have a look around and leave a comment letting them know that you stopped in!
Now that you have your ticket you are ready to board the rest of the train!
OPTIONAL: You may grab our "Great Blog Train" button and post it on your side bar or linky page. Also, feel free to spread the word! The more the merrier!!!
Recive A Heads Up Next Month!
If you'd like me to email you next month when "The Great Blog Train" leaves the station, please let me know by leaving a comment below! OR email me at hjd_21 {at} yahoo {dot} com!

Hi! I talked to Angie about the image on your link. She said she could delete your link and have you reenter it if you'd like. She has another hop which she hosts and has had this happen a few times and isn't sure what the problem is or how to fix it. Sorry I can't offer much else! :(
