Make it Pretty Monday - Week 156

Hello World!  We are officially in the holiday season.  I am amazed at how fast this year has flown by!  Have you started Christmas shopping yet?  I have a couple of gifts left to get and I will be finished!  I think this is the first year that I have been way ahead of the game.  Miracle!  Alrighty, let's get to the party!

Welcome to Week 156 of:

Pretty Lindsay's post is right up my alley.  Every year about this time I start making my game plan for the next year.  I love reading tips on how to become more organized and streamline my time.  To check out the tips, run on over Crazy Organized.

    Kathryn, these are great features, but I have to ask - did your heart hurt just a little when you saw the piano-turned-bar? Or did you think, yea, sometimes I wish the piano was a bar when teaching? hehe Thanks so much for hosting. I'm right on with Lindsay and her organized tips, but could always stand to improve on the 'stuff' (major hazard for an antiques dealer). I did manage to use an old Christmas tree in our booths this season though (sharing).

      Rita, you completely made me laugh out loud!! Sometimes, one does wish the piano could turn into a bar when teaching. Thanks for popping in to play!! Happy week to you! Toodles, Kathryn

    Kathryn, I have a quick 'housekeeping' questions for you. I'm relatively new to the ins and outs of Link Parties and so trying to figure it all out. If I create a page that lists the link parties I attend and link to that page in my post, does that fulfill the 'link back' requirement?
    Thanks, Lynn

      Hi Lynn, the page with the blog parties listed is fine with me, but there are some bloggers that want a link back on the particular post that is linked to the party. I'm not too picky and I have been know to feature bloggers that haven't created a party page or linked back to me. If I really like something, I'll feature it. I guess, it's my little bit of kindness. Happy week to you. Toodles!
