Make it Pretty Monday - Week 46

Hello World! Holy Flip, I cannot get over how long I've been hosting this fun party. You lovelies make it such a joy to sit down, turn on the laptop and see all the inspiration and talent that is oozing out of you. We had a lot of new party goers this week, so let's all be sweetie pies and say hi and make them feel welcome! I really appreciate every single one of you...my faithful ones who stop in every week and all of the new ones I'm looking forward to getting to know and poke around your blogs. Welcome to Week 46 of:

Make it Pretty Monday

My Favorite

Pretty Meredith is new to the party and I say she makes a fabulous first impression. I cannot remember how I found Meredith and her blog, but I invited her to share this free printable at the party and she has so sweetly done just that. I've saved this as a future project not only for my daughter, but I'm making one for me as well to hang in the craft room where no crafts happen. To say hi to Meredith and get your printable, pop on over to Unoriginal Mom.
