If you are new to 30days, I host a linky party, my Pity Party to link up to every Friday. It started last summer when I was having a really bad week and someone suggested that I have a link up party to look through the links and cheer up. It worked! Pity Party was born and has been happening every Friday since. I love checking out new links and finding new blogs to visit.
