Make it Pretty Monday – Week 13

by 42 Comments

Hello World!  It’s a holiday today!  One last summertime whirl.  Later today we will be heading to my sister’s to celebrate my Mom’s (aka Betty Lou) birthday.  The young lady turns 82 on the fourth! We are so happy that she is in our lives.  She’s a wise, Godly woman who has the sweetest heart.  She loves to shop…quite the closet she has!  And, she plays a mean game of Scrabble.  Her Scrabble nickname is Baracuda!  Enough said.  Happy Birthday Mom!  May your year be filled with the goodness and blessings of God!  We love you!  

Off we go to kick off week 13 of Make it Pretty Monday!

    Thanks for inviting me to your party, Kathryn. I finally got over here and am happy to participate and I'm also your newest follower on Google and Linky. I'm not blogging as regularly as I once was, but still trying to get "back in the saddle." Love your blog and your party. And Happy B-day to your mom. Mine turns 82 in December and I feel so blessed to have her in my life too.

    Hello Kathryn,
    Lovely party as usual. I sure do appreciate you featuring my garden post – my daughter aptly named that cat 'Dora the Explorer'. She's the brave one and always beside us. I appreciate you hosting and hope you have a blessed week,
    Kathy

    Hi Kathryn,
    Thanks so much for featuring my featuring my Thrift Store Finds in August Post. I am excited that I am the Shopping Queen. My husband may not be so excited, he teases me about how much money I spend to save him money. I love your blog and your party. I read you every day.
    Thanks again and have a great week.
