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

It’s the First Home Matters Linky Party of 2015!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and we are so excited about the New Year–a fresh new start with a multitude of possibilities. And speaking of fresh starts, we want to kick off the first party of the year by unveiling our fresh new look.

May I have a drum roll, please…

 

 

• You will notice that WE HAVE A NEW HASHTAG! We have registered #HomeMattersParty and we thank you in advance for using it to share our party. This will help people find our party and thereby bring more traffic to everyone’s blogs.
