Home Matters Linky Party #18

 Welcome to the weekly Home Matters Linky Party. A great place to come, share your blog posts, and make new friends.

As we draw closer to the end of the year and the Christmas season, I’d like to share with you the last of the 10 Weeks of Holiday Surprises Giveaway’s. This last giveaway has LOTS of prizes including telescoping fishing equipment!  Go HERE to enter.

We’d like to take a moment to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This will be the last party for 2014, as we will be taking a two-week break to celebrate with our families. But, we will be back and raring to party on January 9th, with a fresh new look and rejuvenated enthusiasm.

So enjoy the party, and let’s make this the biggest and best Home Matters Linky Party of 2014.
