I just spent a week at a cottage, and it was so relaxing – just what I needed. Reading the submissions to this month’s Blog Carnival, all about travel, really helped me not just to prepare for my trip, but to get me completely psyched for my week away, and I hope they’ll inspire you too. This issue of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival has been sponsored by Pliio™ Clothing Filers.

I’d like to start with a shout-out to the newest Superstar Blogger, Linda Samuels, whose Summer Organizing post marks her 25^th time in the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival. Put your hands together for Linda!
