Hi everyone! How are you. We want to wish you all a very HAPPY SPRING!!! It’s finally here and I hope the pretty weather follows really soon! Hope all is well with you and yours. We are hanging in here in NJ : ) Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers… you are all the best! I have to ask a question… I have been seeing many Linky Parties Closing lately and I wanted to ask you all to be totally honest… do you want to see A Morning Cup of Joe continue? We just want to make sure… the number of entries has been fading a bit and some of our old friends aren’t sharing here any more. We just don’t want to run it if it is not something that you would like. It’s been over 7 years now (we started as Junkin Joe… anyone here remember that one???) So if you would be so kind to just drop a little note in the comment if you want to see it continue… your wish is always our command 🙂 We can’t wait to see what you have been creating for Spring so…
Let’s Get This Party STARTED!!!

Holly says
Hi Andrea – Thank you for hosting and thank you for the feature! I’ve seen a bunch of the parties closing too. I always enjoy your party on Friday morning and seeing what everyone is up to. But that’s me. Do what is best for you! Happy Spring and have a great week! Hugs, Holly
Andrea says
Hey there Holly! How are you : ) You have also been with us for such a long time and I love seeing what you and the others are doing each week. I just wanted to make sure everyone wanted the doors to remain open because so many are closing I thought like I said before that I wondered if it was still relevant! So we are going to keep on going!!! Sending tons of hugs and love to you and wishes for an amazing evening!
Mary says
Andrea happy spring, and continued prayers for your health. Thank you for the feature this week. It goes without saying that I want the party to continue and look forward to it every Friday morning. I too have noticed that there is less participation in many parties, which makes it even more important that you continue, so we can have a place to come and share and gather around a community. I hope you enjoy your first spring weekend.
Andrea says
Hi there Mary! How are you! You have been with us so long and it is great to get your insight! You are right… it is important to have a place to share and please know that A Morning Cup Of Joe’s Doors will remain open for as long as everyone wants them to be : ) Sending Hugs and wishes for a wonderful evening!
Virginia says
Thank you for hosting the party. I love the linky parties, but I know they are a lot of work. I like being able to share my work, but also love finding new blogs & fun projects. I hope you continue with A Morning Cup Of Joe, but if you don’t, I’ll still come visit TCM.
Andrea says
Hi there Virginia! How are you! Thank you so much for your input! It is greatly appreciated! It seems like the I’s have it! We will be staying open. Like I said… the only reason I asked was to make sure that everyone wanted it to continue. Seeing all these others close … just had me concerned that the party was not more relevant… but it sounds like it is important to many : ) Thanks for sharing! Sending tons of hugs and wishes for a wonderful evening!
Suchot says
Hi Andrea! I absolutely love your link party. The way you feature posts with your fun descriptions, the size of the images, the whole thing. I know it’s a lot of work on your part but just want to chime in that I appreciate it. <3
Andrea says
Hi there Suchot! How are you. Thank you so much for your kinds words and please know A Morning Cup Of Joe will be keeping it’s doors OPEN!!! I just wanted to know if the community wanted it to stay and it seems as though they do!!! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful evening!
Tricia says
Thank you so much for featuring our guest bedroom, Andrea! You made my day! And thanks for hosting the party. Hope you have a wonderful weekend
Andrea says
Hi there Tricia! You are so welcome! Enjoy! Have a wonderful evening and sending tons of hugs!
Kristie says
Hey Andrea, I like the party, please continue. I will say though, sometimes I feel out of place on the Cottage Market blog in general, because it is so heavily geared toward farmhouse style. My posts (and cottage) are way tooo colorful for that genre. One party host (not you guys) even put in her party description that bloggers should not even bother to post if their project is not farmhouse style. I think a variety of styles and projects should be featured, IF party hosts want a variety of people to join the party.
Andrea says
Hi there Kristie! How are you : ) First… thanks so much for visiting each week and please please please… NEVER EVER Feel out of place… I never want anyone to feel out of place. We have always been a party that welcomes All… any projects and even recipes… even though I am a Vegetarian going Vegan… I still welcome all recipes too just like I welcome you with all of your fun creations! I personally love all style and if you can believe this or not… my home is eclectic : ) I always want you to feel welcome! ALWAYS!!! Variety is the spice of life and always will be… so keep your projects coming because the consensus has it we are not closing our doors! I really didn’t want to … but since so many were I wanted to make sure that this community still wanted it to keep going and I guess that answer is yes! Sending tons of hugs and wishes for a fabulous evening!!!
Katrin says
Andrea, Thank you so much for hosting each and every week and for your always lovely features! I so appreciate that! A Morning Cup of Joe was my very first link party back in the Kreativ K days and Fridays would just not be the same if you closed the party. If you do though, that is totally understandable and I’d still come by and check out your always fabulous roundups and ideas! Wishing you a happy Spring too and great weekend, Hugs
Andrea says
Hi there sweet Katrin! of course I remember Kreativ K : ) I did not know that Morning Joe was your first party… how great is that! I am not going to be closing my doors my friend. I just wanted to know how the community felt about the party… I didn’t want to keep it going if it was out of date and tired you know : ) So many are closing them and I didn’t want to have it happening if people really didn’t want it any more. After the response I got… it doesn’t matter what others are doing… this community wants it to stay open and their wish is my command! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful evening! See you Friday!
Tiffany says
Thanks for the feature, Andrea! I think there seems to be a general downturn in participation at a lot of link parties. Maybe it’s a phase? I do think it’s a great way to meet other bloggers and appreciate your link party – I know they can be a lot of work!
Andrea says
Hi there Tiffany! How are you : ) Thank you so much for your input. My main reason for asking was to make sure everyone wanted it to continue! I agree… it is a great way for bloggers to meet other bloggers and a great way to spread new projects around! So no fear… it shall be staying! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful evening!
Julie Briones says
I for one would like you to keep up Morning Cup! I love the party, and appreciate your tips and your ‘love’. 😉 I know some have closed, but I’m sad, because they brought lots of traffic my way! 😉
Andrea says
Hello Julie! How are you my friend! I am so happy that you enjoy the party and don’t worry… it will remain open for a very long time… till all of you feel as though it should come to an end : ) I know many are closing their parties… but you know what… I have been blogging for years and there have been so many new things added to the world and sometimes it is nice to stay with some old traditions! So here’s to traditions and linky party… just hoping I understand the new linky party set up for next week lol!!!! I am a firm believe on if it’s not broke… don’t fix it LOL!!!! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful day!
Marilyn Lesniak says
This week I am sharing my Ultimate Nachos, Michigan Berry Salad, and a Mediterranean Chopped Salad. Have a lovely evening! Thanks for hosting.
Debra says
I always seem to find a recipe or craft I want to try so I certainly enjoy the Morning Cup. I feel like I’ve started Friday off right when I pin from it!
Crissy says
Hi Andrea! Thank you for the feature of my decoupage tissue box this week. I definitely hope you continue the link party. Perhaps people are just getting a little sidetracked with all of the social media channels these days. Some weeks, I fall behind on all of the activities. For newer bloggers (like me), I think it’s a great way to meet people and get on the radar. You’ve been such a wonderful supporter…more than you know! Thanks for all you do!
Andrea says
Hi there Crissy! How are you. I totally hear you about so many things to do on Social Media… sometimes you can literally drown in it! No worries… the party is staying open for as long as everyone wants it to and it sounds like it will be open for many more years to come : ) Sending hugs and wishes for an amazing day!!!
Joy says
Hi Andrea, I love your Morning Cup of Joe, the size of the thumbnails, the SIZE of the features.I would miss very much joining in if you do decide to not host but I want you to know I would miss your information of the blogging world, updates on how your health is, you cheerful writing. Your blog is open to all types of posts and as Kristie mentioned, we don’t all do Farmhouse or …. and you welcome a lovely variety of family friendly posts joining in. If it is time for you to take a break from hosting because of the time it takes to host then do what is BEST for you and your health.
There has been a change in the blogging world – Debbie-Dabble Blog was writing about that today- bloggers who are slowing down/thinking of stopping writing but they keep on because they have made blogging friends who share friendship, reality, what they are doing, bits and snippets of their families, what they are working on or interested in… they are not niche bloggers, rather they are the bloggers like those who were there in the earlier days of blogging. Does this make sense? On-line friends. People we may be praying for, sharing thoughts, people who we think about and may have concerns about how any one of their friends are doing. We check to make sure they are ok if they don’t post for awhile. We give on-line hugs. We learn from them, we share.
Hugs.
Joy
Andrea says
Hi there sweet Joy! How are you : ) I am going to be responding in one big message… but I want you to know that I don’t want to give up the party… I just wanted to know how everyone feels about it. I really wanted to know if everyone enjoys it and wants it to say around : ) So don’t you worry… it will be here and the doors will always be open to all! I plan on blogging till there are no more blogs and hopefully that won’t happen : ) I love how much you love your on-line community and you are so right… there is a lot of caring going around with you at the top of the list!!! Sending extra hugs to you my friend!!! Be prepared to party for years!!!
Kippi says
