Easter Blessings!

Happy Easter Friends! I hope your day is blessed with great weather, family time and that you hear God speaking through the wonders of Springtime.

Not a church goer but, have faith that God is there always for me. All I need to do is ask for guidance and it is given; give thanks for blessings and more come my way. I am grateful for you that bless me with your continued reading of my blog and support me with your kind words.

These little treat bags are my first attempt at something like this. Not happy with the size of the bag....forgot to go to the Flower Market downtown and get some boutonniere bags (cellophane is a better bag and I have tax ID so get them cheaper)...so, had to go to Michael's yesterday for them. Thank goodness a kind soul went through the entire store looking for just the right sized bag for me. I will give them today at our family dinner.

Thanks for looking and Happy Easter!

A Good Egg Easter

It has been far too long since I have posted on here. I feel bad about it too. Those of you who check in on me from time to time know that my life is very busy. I hope you understand.

This is my Easter card for this year. Made a dozen to send to family and very close friends. Stamped the image on the WW cardstock and positioned previously stamped, colored and paper pieced chicks to it. Ran a couple of swipes under thier feet with watercolor brush and re-inker. Very easy.

Hope you have a lovely Easter week and time with family next weekend. Hoping to post the cards I have made since February soon. Happy Crafting!!

Scalloped Easter Eggs

Hello Friends!! I needed to make some more Easter cards for friends and family. This is what I came up with...not too orginal or exciting from some of you extremely creative artists out there. But, the ones I am sending to will get a kick out of the chicks.

Hope that you are getting some Spring where you live and not getting that horrible snow in the upper mid-west the TV folks have been talking about. If you are....stay safe!!

On a side note, hubby, Wayne, and I both excited as we both found jobs!! He in the IT field working for the USDA and me in Home Health Care as an Aide. At least it will keep a roof over our heads and the bill collectors at bay....not that we were that close to loosing everything...I just always wanted to say that. Hope and pray it never happens!!

Easter Bunny Wagon

Howdy! Here is my take on the SFYTT for the week of March 21. It really challenged me to use colors I would normally not use. Having said that.....I LOVE Pink!! Weird, huh?

Anyway, I started this by crocheting my own flowers( I used a #10 thread and a #7 steel hook)....actually I have been making them for a few weeks and I finally used one! YEAH!! Then I wanted to make something with the new SU DPs I had bought in a Paper Share that my Demo started last month. You get one 6x6 sheet of each of the DP.....1/2 one month and 1/2 the next. Sweet, huh?

And just to let those of you who have been thinking about my son, Clark.....I am happy to report he was smiling and joking around today with everyone. The hospital staff had a couple more tests today to make sure he was well. But, I think he will go home tomorrow....at least I hope he does!

Hope all is well with you and that you have Spring Fever too!

Happy Crafting!!

Sunny Easter Wishes - Mojo78

Okay....finally....after several days of trying to get this finished.....I did!! I think it is gorgeous! I wanted an Easter card that reminded me of when I was younger....the purples, lavenders and yellows, like the Easter dresses I wore to church on Easter morning.


The flowers are done on watercolor paper with a wash of Barely Banana re-inker. Then I used my Twinkling H2Os for some shimmer. Finally, I had difficulty coming up with a suitable flower center....so, I combined an orange colored brad and several layers of Crystal Effects and a liberal dose of chunky MS glitter. I think they look like little gumdrops.

Thanks to all of you who responded to yesterdays post with your kind words and prayers. I do appreciate you very much! Clark is still in the hospital, still with Pneumonia. He will be in over the weekend. He looks a bit better and yesterday he even managed a weak smile. He let me know he misses his school friends.



Have a great weekend and Happy Crafting!!
