February's Train Leaving The Station!

All Aboard!

Chugga chugga! Chugga chugga! Toot! Toot!

What a wonderful first month!
Thank you to everyone who hopped on board!

Remember to join the fun even if you are running a little late!
The last entry will receive the Caboose Feature!


The Great Blog Train Blog Hop leaves the station on the first Wednesday of every month. January was the first month and it was quite sucessful with almost 60 boxcars in the link up! WOW! What a sucessful first run! I hope that today goes just as good or even better! And how that happens is by all of YOU visiting and linking up, so Thank you for stopping by!

Part of the rules is following the hosts. That would be Angie @ God's Growing Garden, Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures, and myself. Here's where you can connect with me so chose what works for you and let me know how you followed by leaving me a comment so I can visit you too!

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:

  
2. Now link up your family friendly blog to the train...please only use your homepage, NOT a specific post! IMPORTANT: Any "naughty" boxcar that does not follow this rule will be derailed!

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!!!

I was excited to get to know quite a few new bloggers from last month's link up! I may not be able to get around as much this month since I'm getting married in a week and 2 days from now, but I will try to meet a few of you for next month's feature! :)
