Make it Pretty Monday - Week 59

Hello World!  It's time for the weekly kitten update.  They will be 3 weeks tomorrow.  They are itching to get out of the box.  I'm sure by next week we'll have little kittens bouncing all around the house.  Time to put up the baby gate to keep them contained a bit.  

Below is a video link to see the wee ones playing.  

Welcome to Week 59 of:

My Favorite
Pretty Laura found this mirror at Goodwill.  Now, I usually find some decent stuff at Goodwill, but I have never scored anything this great.  Of course, it didn't look like this when she bought it.  Laura worked her magic and transformed her into the lovely you see here.  To see more of this beauty, pay a visit to
