Easter Sunday

I love Easter. What's not to love really?! My boss said Monday morning, "If you don't have a great Easter Sunday at church you either need to find a new church or re-check your heart." It's just hard to not love Easter. PRAISE THE LORD! HE IS RISEN!

Anyway, a few years ago I blogged about what Easter is like at my house. That's still the case. We have two traditions for Easter:

1. Bunny Cake

2. Fill the house with friends and family

Lele posted this blog with lyrics to a song that they sang at RHCC. We sang it at BBC as well and I stood there with my mom, both of us missing Jimmy, and I knew my risen Savior was standing beside holding my hand tighter than ever. Death has no sting, PRAISE GOD!

***other people celebrated with us but refused to have their picture taken. I wonder who was.

dish towel

So I got the idea to make these little dish towels over at The Idea Room. I was a bit nervous since I hadn't really done any sort of stitching since a brief cross stitching stint when I was 12. But, I think it turned out really cute! I gave this a gift for the Brentwood Stationer's Dirty Santa Gift Swap. It was the hot item of the night!

christmas party crafts

Here are a few things I made to help decorate for my "Merry and Bright" Christmas Party:

* I got the inspiration for the wreath over at this blog.

* Martha never fails....pom pom instructions!

O Christmas Tree!

It was fun to actually decorate a real house this year!!! I think it looks so pretty!

ICE!

Nothing like walking around in 9 degrees surrounded by ice to get you in the christmas spirit!
