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.

***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.***

Have a happy day and remember to be kind to one another!  
Fear Not!
