Last Minute Holiday Ideas – Best of the Weekend Link Party

Welcome to this week’s edition of Best of the Weekend link party!  With all the last minute rushing around, we are so happy you took the time to stop by!  Please note that this is the last party of 2018 but we will return on January 4th, 2019.

** Some changes for the new year:

  • We are sad to say goodbye to Paula, Amy, Ginny and Neena who have decided to stop hosting Best of the Weekend in 2019.  They have done such a wonderful job over the years and we have enjoyed hosting with them!  The link party will continue with Liberty and myself so we hope you will continue to join us.
  • Another change will be a new starting time in 2019.  Instead of starting Friday at 8 pm, the party will begin on Friday at 8 am so mark your calendars!
