Hello World! Welcome Friends! I hope all are fine and dandy today. Alright, the features are amazing. You sweets are making it so hard to choose. Let’s get to it! Welcome to Week 79 of:
Pretty Candy gave us a lovely tablescape, but what caught my eye was her centerpiece. So flippin’ cute! To view all the details of this little wonder, walk on over to Plum Creek Place. 
Pretty Suzanne shows us how make this adorable Believe banner. Loving her mantel, by the way! To get the tutorial, scoot on over to Bitz of Me. 
Pretty Sayuri found this desk and just couldn’t pass it up. Of course, she had to make her mark on her by transforming her into this lovely French version. Fly on over to Vintage Breeze to see the before.
Pretty Dayle pondered the idea of painting her hutch. She gave into the idea of transforming her piece of furniture and we are glad that she shared it with us! Dayle and her hutch can be found at
Dayle Allen Shockley.
Pretty Maria stitched up these oh, so pretty Christmas treat bags using old cable knit sweaters! Why didn’t I think of this? That’s why I host this party; so you pretties can give me great ideas! Zip on over to Shop Girl Maria to see more of this loveliness!
Pretty Rebecca…what a great appetizer! Holiday Jam and Brie Crostino! Delicious! To get the scoop, run on over to Living Better Together.
Pretty Kelly…who doesn’t like peppermint and chocolate; especially together? To get the recipe for the most decadent Double Chocolate Peppermint Brownies, head on over to The Moon and Me.
Pretties Elizabeth and Julia brought a couple of diy knockoff projects to the party that will have you rethinking whether or not you want to plop down the big bucks for these great items. Great look for a lesser price! You can check out all of the knockoff’s at Southern Color.
Pretty Holly shared her elegant Winter Wonderland tablescape with us. Pay a visit to Pink Fortitude to see all the details.
Pretty Luisa shared her lovely sunroom that she has decked out for Christmas. I love the softness of this room! Dash on over to
Living and Learning with Luisa to see more of this subtle stunner.
Pretty Liz pulled out all of the stops on her elegant Christmas mantel. Simple perfection. Call on Infuse With Liz to see all of the details close up.
Pretty Priscilla brought this little dazzler to the party. What a fun tree! Candy canes and chalkboards! Scooch on over to Priscilla’s to see all of the details.

1. Link up anything Family friendly…DIY, decor, crafts, recipes, gardening, shopping finds, sewing, furniture transformations, inspirational stories, and beautiful photography.
2. If you are participating in Make it Pretty Monday, be sure to link up your “permalink” post and not your general blog address.
3. No etsy shops, giveaways and no sponsor pages. I might have a separate party for those when I see how well this one goes.

Kathryn, Thank you so much for hosting Make it Pretty Monday, and thank you for featuring my centerpiece from my post "Happy Holidays to You". The holiday posts are so much fun to do. After many years of collecting this, that, and another from here and there and everywhere, I simply go shopping in my stash of goodies – such great fun to put a tablescape together for Christmas! I need to go check some of the other posts to get inspired for the upcoming week. Have a wonderful week and I will see you same time next week.

Thanks so much for hosting! 🙂
Hi Kathryn, thank you for hosting this party – I am a newcomer! (I happened upon your page via Debra at CG). As a new blogger this year, I'm sharing my home for the first time in its entirety in its holiday finery. I hope your readers enjoy it.
Your blog looks very inviting, and I love the fact that your background is in opera. Mine is in dance (as an avocation). I look forward to making my way through your blogs, as I'm your newest follower. 🙂
Best,
Rita C. at Panoply
