Hello World! Welcome Friends! Happy New Year! Can you believe we are now in 2017? Gah! So, yesterday I hinted that I have some news to share. Well, our red-brick Colonial is officially on the market! We found a couple of houses in the neighborhood that we have been wanting to move to, so we have been scrambling to get our house in tip top shape to put on the market. I’ve never taken Christmas down as fast as I did last week right after Christmas! I’ll share pictures of the houses we have looked at in the coming weeks. But, for now, let’s get to the party!
Welcome to Week 204 of:

Happy New Year, Kathryn, and thank you for hosting Make It Pretty. The organization the new year suggests had me starting with my blog, summarizing the year. I shared how I do that. I look forward to reading these features, especially that Northwoods tabkescape! Here’s hoping you enjoy the bkessings of health, friendships, and achieving all the goals you set out to in 2017.

I was surprised to read you put your house up for sale. Didn’t you just remodel most of your house? Thanks for the link up.
Happy New Year, Kathryn! So glad to see the party is still going strong since my six-month life got chaotic party hiatus.

Having just gone through putting a home up for sale and moving into a new home last year, I can understand what you will be going through. I have no doubt that someone will fall in love with your pretty home…best of luck.
