~Time for New Beginnings for 2017~

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's 

celebrating with family and friends!!

I've enjoyed these past years hosting Simple & Sweet Friday parties.

I can't believe it's been 252 weeks of fun.

Which adds up to almost 5 years and over 1,000,000 pageviews!

Looking back it went by so fast.

I've been so amazed with your creativity each week!

Your inspiring posts and projects have been awesome!!

But, I have decided to take a break from the parties for awhile.

I will still be posting on my blog, 

Rooted in Thyme.

I would like to start taking classes in;

Art, Flower Arranging, Cooking and Garden Design.

I will definitely be sharing,

 what I learn with all of you!!

There's some new ideas, I'd like to make on Etsy too!

I just want to thank all of you for your continued support throughout the years.

I have to say a very special thank you to my daughter, Carly.

Without her help,

 I would never have started the blog or the parties.

Of course, Stan, my family and Justin too!

I want to wish all my blogging friends

 a very

 Happy 2017!! 

You have inspired me and I will always love you for that! 

May you be blessed with a happy year filled with

 good health and happiness!
