Hello World!  Happy New Year!  The first party of the New Year! Do you make resolutions?  Do you have goal-setting sessions?  I’m a goal setter myself.  My goal this week is to clean my house thoroughly.  Especially the carpets.  They look disgusting after the holidays.  Enough rambling.

Here are a few guidelines to follow.

1. Link up anything Family friendly…DIY, decor, crafts, recipes, gardening, shopping finds, sewing, inspirational stories, and beautiful photography.

  

2.  If you are participating in Make it Pretty Monday, be sure to link up your “permalink” post and not your general blog address.

 

3.  No etsy shops, giveaways and no sponsor pages.  I might have a separate party for those when I see how well this one goes.
