Looks great, Janet! Thanks again for putting this month’s carnival together. Best, Rashelle
Thanks, Rashelle! Always great when you can join us!
Really great roundup this months! So many good posts! I can’t believe I missed it! That’s what I get for not writing it in my calendar like usual! 🙂
We’ve got topics lined up till February – just go to the main Blog Carnival page to see them – so mark them in your calendar now!
The Carnival is nearly always the second Wednesday of the month, and the deadline is midnight (eastern time) the night before.
Thanks for another great blog carnival, Janet.
Wow, Janet! You’re done it again by curating another amazing round of posts…this time about home office organization. Looking forward to digging in.
Congratulations to this month’s sponsor, Carolyn Caldwell, for being the recipient of the 2015 Harold Taylor Award. It was exciting to see her receive it last month in Toronto at the POC Conference.
Thanks for letting us read about YOUR home office, Linda – it sounds sparkly, just like you! 🙂 I’m so glad you got to come and hang out with us in Canada last month.
Happy to share. It was quite the experience making the home office transformation…well worth the wait.
I LOVED being with everyone last month at the POC conference. It was great hearing you talk about blogging and seeing you in person.
What a wealth of information here, Janet. You’re right, you don’t have to be a professional organizer to get lots out of this carnival.
Such a nice thing to hear from someone whose own office is almost as tidy as the one in the picture! Thanks for stopping by.
