Bento Bloggers & Friends Top 13 of 2013

Happy New Year!

The Bento Bloggers & Friends have packed a lot of bentos in 2013. School lunches, work lunches, outing lunches, home lunches, breakfasts, suppers, snacks... I can't even guess at the number! And for a little New Years Eve fun, we decided to try to narrow down all those bentos to our personal Top 13 of 2013, and share them here, with a link party. It may take a while for everyone to add their link - so if the party's a little dull when you get here, come back later! Like most parties it probably won't get good until later ;)

Holiday Hop - Santa Claus is Coming To Lunch!

Our fourth & final holiday blog hop is happening now! 

Santa Claus is Coming to Lunch ...

We couldn't decide on this hop button's hue

So instead of one we went with two. 

Just follow the jolly old elf,  green or blue...

Either one will lead you through :)

Did you see the previous hops, Winter Wonderlunch, Season's Eatings, & Jolly Holiday? It's not too late! And you might like to follow the Bento Bloggers & Friends to catch all our hops!

Thanksgiving Bento Link Party!

Not all the Bento Bloggers & Friends are American, so not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving this month, but we're all thankful - for many things - like having good food to make bentos with! 

We invite you to join our gathering of Thanksgiving themed lunches. All are welcome, even you Canadians who had your Thanksgiving last month! Share your leftovers too, if they're Thanksgiving themed ;) 

And since it is the month of November, AKA MOvember, you get to choose which button you link up with - this cute little Pilgrim owl perched atop a horn of plenty, or the same thankful owl, but with a "mo". You're welcome :)

If you need copy/paste codes they're at the bottom of the post, after the Link Party :)

Please link back to the party with one of these buttons!

Frightful Fall Bento Blog Hop & Link Party

Happy fall Y'all!  'Tis the season to be...  spooky! The Bento Bloggers & Friends love this time of year, and you know what it means when we love something - blog hop! If you're looking for fun seasonal lunch ideas, you're sure to find plenty among the 44 blogs sharing more than 50 Hallowe'en & Fall themed bento lunch ideas! 

There was so much interest in this hop that we were able to spread the fun over 3 days - and today's the last day, so you can see them all! Each button below will take you on a separate hop through 14-15 blogs, so when you finish one, don't forget to come back here to do the next one! Have fun!

Day 1!

Day 2!

Day 3!
