Make it Pretty Monday – Week 42

by 60 Comments

Hello World!  Hope all had a great weekend.  This week I’ve really got to get on the ball to get the backyard spruced up for Easter.  I haven’t touched a thing; so there is plenty to do.  
You lovelies really outdid yourselves this past week.  Welcome to Week 42 of:


Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite

Pretty Connie shared with us about Starting New Traditions and a Blessing Blanket.  Please go read this wonderful post.  How wonderful that her grandchildren are being taught how to bless each other as shown in the picture with one little cousin blessing another.  May we continue to bless our children, but teach them how to bless others in this world who are hurting so terribly!  Isn’t that why Jesus set us free?  What a wonderful gift of love we have that we can share with the world.  Connie’s blessing of a post 
can be found at 
Family Home and Life.

***Don’t forget to submit your Before and After completed projects to see who will be in the spotlight on Before and After Wednesday!  It can be any Before and After: a furniture redo, room renovation, decorating change, sewing repurpose, gardening.  This is to help showcase more of your great work!  Email me at: thededicatedhouse@gmail.com with the link to your completed project.  Oh, and by the way it can be a post from the past.  Sometimes our first works never get any notice because we haven’t built up a following yet.  Be sure to put in the subject line of the email Before and After Wednesday.***

And a huge THANK YOU for those of you who participated in Anything Blue Friday!  She was a huge success considering it was her first time as a party.  

Go flit and float my little social butterflies!  Have a pretty rest of the day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not!

Toodles,
Kathryn
