Hooked on House Tours: The Fall Party Starts Here!

Who doesn’t love a good house tour?

Well, if you don’t, then you’ve come to the wrong place. Today kicks off the Hooked on House Tours Blog Party–one big, giant Fantasy Open House tour around the blogosphere.

I’m putting a twist on the usual blog party this time around, though. Get this:

There will be a prize for one lucky blogger!

One week from today I’ll draw the name of one of the participating bloggers, and they will receive a free button-ad (125 x 125) in my sidebar for the entire month of November. It never hurts to get a little more attention for your blog, right? It’s just my way of thanking all of you who are joining the party today.

On Monday, as promised, I’ll be posting photos from the house tour I took in the historic town of Columbia Tusculum, Ohio, so be sure to come back for that! In the meantime, you can see some of the town’s beautiful Victorian Painted Ladies that I photographed here, all decked out for fall. Today I want these other bloggers to get all the attention!

I can’t wait to see the fabulous house tours you all have for us. Ready…set…link!

Variety is what makes this so much fun, and the tour of your ranch was one of the highlights for me! My daughter really loved it. We spent a long time looking at all the animals on your blog. -Julia

I discovered your blog this evening and it looks like a lot of fun.

I’ll be following along for sure.

4 Heather October 27, 2008 at 9:43 am: I’m right there with Linda from 7MSN! I found the House Tour through her blog and went to work on mine. I think it was a blast, even if we were a little off base! I have really enjoyed all of the other tours and am inspired by what they have to share. Inspiration and thrift will ensure that I can decorate our home and still support my horse habit!
5 Holly October 27, 2008 at 2:06 pm: I really liked the house from today (Monday). I think they did a nice job on the addition. And it doesn’t seem outrageously expensive (I still couldn’t afford it, though!)
