Make it Pretty Monday - Week 7

Hello World!  Wow, every week you pretties keep topping yourselves.  Last week, we had the most party goes and I think probably some of the best inspiration yet.  Are you ready to get started?  
Welcome to Make it Pretty Monday - Week 7!

Pretty Betsy is making her first appearance in the features.  She showed us this beautiful Vintage Bathroom Makeover.  Pop in for a visit at Betsy Speert to see what all the fuss is about.

Shopping Queen
Pretty Melissa at DaisyMaeBelle bought not one but two sets of beautiful china, along with some serving pieces for $30.  What a lovely, lovely find.

Pretty Carol at Carol's Heirloom Collection made me swoon with her pretty daisy dishes.  How sweet and fresh they are.

Culinary Delight Queen
Pretty Lauren made this Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce.  Head over to Empowered Sustenance for the recipe.  Looks tasty.  And, I like her plate.

My Favorite
Pretty Tricia at Brighton Cottage showed us her freshly painted kitchen.  Everyone knows how I love a white kitchen.  Sighing.  

Okay, I know I'm late posting this, but I had such a hard time narrowing it down.  I normally have 6 features, but there was no way I could squeeze anyone out.  So, 8 features this week.  

If you were featured, please grab my feature button for your blog.


The Dedicated House

Anyhoo, on to the matter at hand.  Let's get the bash started.  


Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. Link up anything Family friendly...DIY, decor, crafts, recipes, gardening, shopping finds, sewing, 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. 

4.  Please grab my button below, or have a link back to my blog so everyone can enjoy the party!  No Link Back, No Feature.  Boo.

5.  Please become a follower of The Dedicated House via Google Friend Connect or Linky Followers.

6.  Be sure to visit at least two of the other pretties at the party. Show them some love and let them know you popped in for a visit.  You know how we all love comments.

Don't forget, the current giveaway is still going on.  I'll announce the winner on Friday.  Click here to go straight to the giveaway...that is, after you link up your pretties.  

Wishing all a grand week and remember to be kind to one another. 

Toodles, 
Kathryn
