Make it Pretty Monday - Week 77

Hello World!  So sorry for the late start to the party!  Just plugging through my to do list and it seems like time is slipping away.  So, let's get to it, because I'm dropping Little Dedicated off at my mom's so I can get the Christmas shopping done...hopefully!  Welcome to Week 77 of:

Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Gail has been at it again.  This time she shows us how to make a Snowflake Tree Skirt.  Scooch on over to Purple Hues and Me to get the tutorial.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Craft Queen
Pretty Jeanette got bit by the Christmas crafting bug and created these lovely Christmas trees.  Head on over to Creating a Life to see the creative process.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Shopping Queen
Pretty Mary Alice, what a find.  She scored this beautiful French table that was used in a floral shop in Paris to cut and bundle flowers.  A piece with a story.  Run on over to Chateau Chic to see more of this beauty. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Furniture Transformation Queen
Pretty Lisa, I love this piece and how it is styled!  Perfection!  To see the before and to get some great pro tips, go to Create Inspire. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Sewing Queen
Pretty Priscilla has been busy stitching the Prairie Schooler Santas.  Love, love, love!  Zip on over to Priscilla's to see the rest. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Culinary Delight Queen
Pretty Diane shared her Split Pea Soup with Crispy Prosciutto with us.  Nothing better than a warm bowl of soup on a cold day.  Make a call on 
My Life as Robin's Wife to get the recipe. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Dessert Queen
Pretty Shea, you had more than just one person in my house drooling over these and begging me to make them.  To get the scoop on the White Chocolate Toffee Peppermint Crunch Oreo Cookie Balls, dash on over to Dixie Chik Cooks. 

Make it Pretty Monday
DIY Queen
Pretty Suz created her picture hallway over lovely Benjamin Moore paint.  I love pretty much everything about this space.  To get her perfect picture hanging secret, fly on over to One Oak Lane.

Make it Pretty Monday
Tablescape Queen
Pretty Barbara had me at blue and white.  She has set the most gorgeous and welcoming Thanksgiving table that you must pop over for a visit.  Walk along to 21 Rosemary Lane to view the details. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Home Decor Queen
Pretty Martina invited us to see her living room changes that she's been working on.  This is such a pleasant and welcoming space.  Perfect for entertaining and great conversation.  Run on over to Northern Nesting to check it all out. 

Make it Pretty Monday
Christmas Decor Queen #1
Pretty Jen has got visions of Sugar Plums in her head and in her Christmas decor.  To see more of this delicious looking Christmas decor, head on over to Castles and Carriages.  

Make it Pretty Monday
Christmas Decor Queen #2
Pretty Karin has decked out her dining room with some whimsical Christmas decor.  How fun and festive.  Dash on over to The Style Sisters to see more of her fun Christmas decor.
