Easter and Spring:
I just love this time of year. All the pastel colors are so pretty and it means nicer weather is just around the corner. Flowers begin to bud and I love watching the tulips and daffodils in our yard. Sure cheers me up after the long, cold weather. Needless to say, I love decorating the house and yard for Easter.
I made the Easter/Spring Trees below and I do admit to having gotten a little carried away. But, I thought you might enjoy seeing them and perhaps will make a tree of your own. I got this tree from a local craft store. If you are really creative, you might find a nice branch in your yard to use. The one I used is made of paper and painted white with small little leaves attached. I took plastic eggs and used those egg wraparounds that come with Easter Egg coloring kits. I added a few little bears and bunnies, flowers and ribbon to each egg for hanging using that wonderful invention called a glue gun. The base is made of green Styrofoam and I added a little village of eggs, tiny chicks, flowers and birdhouses. I also glued some pink flowers to the branches of the tree as "fill-in".
The tree below is made of metal and coated in white paint. All I had to do was "set" the eggs in place so I can change them around if I want to. I bought a jellybean garland at a local department store and took it apart so I could lay them around the bottom of the tree in the basket and added little decorations to make a fun village. I hope you will give it a try yourself. It's a lot of fun and makes a cheerful centerpiece for any table anywhere. Nothing like bringing Spring indoors
Kitty Bunny Hunt: There are 4 little kittens like the one above with bunny ears on my Easter Pages. If you find all 4, please fill out the form below and receive an award for your website. The kitty bunny shown here is NOT part of the hunt.
In case you collect Easter Quilts, please feel free to take one or all of these. Just don't forget to link them back to my homepage. Thanks!
There are some cute Easter Crafts at the site below. Just click on the bonnet. I had never thought of adding these here but it seems appropriate I guess since April 1st is also part of Spring. So, I'm offering these two gifties to you.
On the NEXT page, you will find Easter Gifts for YOU!
