Happy Monday my friends! I sure hope you enjoyed your weekend. The Husband and I worked on some projects that I can’t wait to show you!
But first can I tell you a little more about Hometalk?
I posted a bit about my new favorite online resource HERE. But I wanted to give you just a bit more info today…Hang with me till the end of this post ’cause I need a tiny favor from you… 🙂
I found Hometalk in April and had no idea exactly what it was but I jumped in anyway, asking questions, putting up
photos from some of my blog posts and finding inspiration from other people who love all things home! The really fun thing about Hometalk is the variety of people on the site. There are professionals who post pictures of their latest remodel or landscape project, there are avid gardeners and DIYers who don’t have a blog but have sooooo many great ideas and projects!
And you can ask questions and get advice from the community!
Hometalk is the largest home & garden knowledge hub on the web. It’s fueled by the firsthand experience & advice of hundreds of thousands of home enthusiasts and professionals.
Ask Questions
Ask for help or advice about your home or garden and get answers from the friendly and knowledgeable members of the Hometalk community.
Imagine Garden Web but with a much better format and tons of photos!
Loads and loads of photos! Doesn’t matter if you have a blog, if you have a home or garden project post photos! The pool of inspiration is vast and when someone post photos many times there’s a conversation ! Questions and chatting about the project…Imagine Pinterest but the inspiration is an actual project not just an idea and you can talk back and forth about the project with the person who did it!
Get Inspired
Follow your favorite home and garden topics. Browse through hundreds of thousands of beautiful photos and inspiring ideas posted by the members of Hometalk.
Search
Researching a project? Chances are it’s been talked about before. Search through posts or photos to gather ideas, and find members and professionals to help you out along the way.
When starting a project it’s easy to search for something similar on Hometalk…
Imagine Google Search but within a community of like minded people and professionals!
Post Your Projects
Got pictures, videos or advice of your own? Share them! They will be visible to and appreciated by the entire Hometalk community.
Post your pictures and a brief description of your project and inspire your friends in the Hometalk community!
Imagine having a blog but on a smaller scale and super duper easy!
My inspiration is fueled by several things…
My favorite blogs, which feel like traveling all over the world visiting friends who may or may not be home…
Pinterest which is like going to a massive mall of inspiration, looking through a million brilliant ideas…
And Hometalk which is kinda like going to a favorite coffee shop to meet friends and chat about the things we love…
Now if you’d like to give Hometalk a spin, I have a favor to ask of you! It will take under 5 minutes!
You guys that hang out with me know I don’t ask for a lot of favors, only 2 that I can remember… to like my new blog facebook page and this one! If you’re planning to head over to Hometalk anyway, would you follow me Hometalk ? It’s easy peasy to join and to follow me just click HERE. (You must click to Hometalk from my blog)
Then go to Community and search for me under: All Things Heart and Home
Here’s the reason I need that favor! If I get TEN new Hometalk followers I can throw my name in the hat to win a trip to the best Antique Market in the country: Lucketts Market! BUT, I think you know me…I would never ask you to do something just for me. I really do think you’ll love Hometalk!
(If you’re already a member of Hometalk and you start following me, that counts toward my Ten-New-Followers!)
Thank you my sweet friends~You’re the BEST! xo
