M.M.M. #119

Below are the highlights from 2 years of weekly link parties I hosted on C.R.A.F.T. called Making Monday Marvelous. (M.M.M.)

I started Making Monday Marvelous on April 26, 2010, just 3 months after I started C.R.A.F.T. The last of the 135 Making Monday Marvelous link parties ended on December 12, 2012. In January 2013, 5 bloggers created a new link party, Monday Funday. I co-hosted 90 link parties until October 19, 2014. Monday Funday continued as a collaborative link party until 2017. At the height of the link party, we had anywhere from 600-700 bloggers link up and share their latest craft, DIY or recipe idea with a like minded community.
