Make it Pretty Monday - Week 87

Hello World!  Just an FYI, I may not have any posts other than the parties to share this week.  My Uncle, who has leukemia is not doing well and is not expected to make it through the week.  So, me and my sister will be driving our Mom up to Northwest Arkansas for the funeral some time this week.  Mr. Dedicated will be taking care of Little Dedicated while I'm out of town.  My Uncle is such a lovely man and will be greatly missed.  But, we will see him again!  I just wanted to give you lovelies a heads up.   All parties will go on as scheduled, hopefully on time!

Okay, on a side note.  Did you happen to catch Renee Fleming singing The National Anthem at The Superbowl?  Finally, someone who can actually sing that song!  Gorgeous and classy!  

Let's check out the features and get the party started.
