Make it Pretty Monday - Week 97

Hello World!  The open house was yesterday and today I've already had two showings before 11am.   Yay!  That's why the party was late.  Aw, heck, it's been late a lot recently!  Sorry loves.  Thank you for being so supportive in this crazy super busy time.  So, I'm sitting at my sister's house who literally lives 3 min. away from me, with cute, little puppy dog, Aslan curled up next to me while I write away. 

So, let's check out the fabulous features, shall we?
Welcome to Week 97 of:

Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Vel's Easter dining room has just the right touches.  Love!  To see Vel and her darling dining room Easter decor, and her darling haircut, walk on over to Life & Home at 2102

Make it Pretty Monday
Craft Queen
Pretty Shannon has the easiest craft for us.  Slinky, wire, spray paint, and plastic eggs.  How great is that?  I wonder if Little Dedicated will let me have her slinky to work up this little wreath?  To check out the details, pop on over to 
Bohemian Junktion.  

Make it Pretty Monday

Pretty Trisha created this happy tablescape with some pretty cups and saucers she snatched up while out thrifting.  How sweet and pretty!  To see all of the details, drop in for a visit at American Honey Home

Pretty Mary...okay, we can all do a collective sigh!  Stunning!  To see the before and more gorgeous after pictures, fly on over to Orphans with Make-Up

Pretty Daphne has been busy embellishing this handsome peacock by hand.  Exquisite!  To see what Mr. Peacock looked like before Daphne's talented hands touched him, zip on over to Ivy, Phyllis and Me!

Culinary Delight Queen
Pretty Debbie...oh, my word!  How adorable.  I know everyone is thinking, "Can I pull this off for Easter?".  Debbie shows us how.  Hop on over to 
One Little Project to get the tutorial.

Pretty Leia has the perfect dessert for us for Spring...Carrot Cake with Ginger Snap Crumbles.  Scrumptious!  To get the recipe, dash on over to 
Eat it and Say Yum

  41. Good Evening Kathryn, I am sorry it has taken me a little while to respond to your email, but I have my mother, Phyllis staying with me at the moment and so of course we are "out and about" quite a lot, so I have not been able to catch up with my emails until now.
    Thank you so very much for featuring my beaded peacock.... I was thrilled to pieces when I found out. It truly was a labour of love and I enjoyed every minute of it.
    I shall be catching up with you next week, as for the moment, I want to spend every precious moment that I can with my mother.
    Best Wishes
    Daphne
