Make it Pretty Monday - Week 75

Hello World!  Did you have a good weekend?  Sorry for the late start to the party.  We went to the opera yesterday and out to dinner.  When I got in, I was just too tired to get the post ready.  And, today, I would like to tell Mr. Dedicated that after 7 years with him, I would choose him all over again!  Happy Anniversary Love!

Okay, peeps, Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching.  Deep breaths all around!  I really need to start wrapping presents now so that I don't have a ton to do right before Christmas.  And, hopefully, the sun will give us a good show today so that I can take pictures of my Metallic Makeover and of course the big furniture rearrange.  So much to do, so little time.  Anyhoo, let's check out the features from last week.  Welcome to Week 75 of:
