Make it Pretty Monday - Week 159

Hello World!  Well, here we are in the midst of the Christmas season!  Have you finished putting up your Christmas decorations or are you beginning the process?  One thing I know, somehow, it all gets done.  On a side note, I found a skinny Christmas tree that doesn't resemble Charlie Brown's cute, little tree.  I have time scheduled this week to take pictures of the new tree, but I must finish decorating it first.  Which, of course requires a trip to Hobby Lobby!  Goodness, one thing begets another!  On to the party!

Welcome to Week 159 of:

    Kathryn, thank you for hosting Make It Pretty. These are a great variety of features, my favorites being the table setting, the bacon appetizer, and the common-sensical tree tips. This year I started with my tree, and it will seem like a stroll in the park to move beyond it (always my most time-consuming holiday decorating task). Have a wonderful week.
