Make it Pretty Monday - Week 82

Hello World!  Do you have big plans for New Year's Eve?  We will be bringing down the house with a game night!  We are all pretty competitive around here, but it's in a good way.  

Last week's party was pretty sweet.  Let's take a look at the fabulous features.  Welcome to Week 82 of:

Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Lina made over this cute little thrift store reindeer and created this lovely tablescape.  Lesson learned.  You never know what you will find in a thrift store that with just a little bit of help can be turned into something fabulous!  Fly on over to Fancy Frugal Life to see Mr. Reindeer in all of his festive glory.

Pretty Kim made these way too cute Yarn Christmas Trees!  To check out the tutorial, pop on over to Exquisitely Unremarkable.
