Spring is Here!

Well, technically anyway...we had snow the other night plus we are expecting a little more tonight and more next Monday.....but the calendar says it is Spring, and I'm going with that! I've been busy with a few craft projects inspired by other blogs. After seeing what other ladies are doing with their Easter decorations and left over odds and ends, I copied a cute idea and made Easter Bunny pulling a cart of eggs. I used buttons as wheels and had picked up the little boxes from Dollar Tree. There are 12 in a package, I believe. The creativity on so many blogs is amazing. I have been trying so many craft ideas and really enjoying myself!
Plus it's so nice to use so much more of my Easter items that may end up sitting in a box forever. Now they are being utilized!

I'm busy collecting things for Easter baskets. Caitlin knows Easter Bunny delivers very shortly! I also make Easter baskets for my neighbor's three daughters who are my children's best friends. Next Wednesday we are having our annual Easter party at my house. I have had this since Billy was born in 1999 and every year our neighbor comes. Like me, she has added kids since 1999 so now we have Billy, Caitlin and Genny, Julianna and Jaqueline. We have lunch and all kinds of desserts and then we color eggs. Billy and Genny are now 14 and still love participating in our special things, I am grateful to say. I hope to continue this tradition as long as I can. We have a great time. I'm blessed to have a neighbor who is like a sister to me!

I had to share these photos I took of our bunny Chestnut and our cat Dixie. Love comes in all shapes and forms and these two adore each other. Dixie likes to sleep on that chair and she is thrilled if I put Chestnut next to her. They snuggle and she even gives him a bath! If he doesn't settle down right away she does lose patience and swats him gently but then they snuggle. SO cute.

 

I hope you have a terrific day!
