Easter 2012

Hello There,


I hope you all are well...we are doing great....the daily routine sometimes takes alot more time than we expect...doesn't it...


I hope you all had a great Easter....it was  a beautiful day and our Sunday service was amazing...then we went out to eat with Holly and Rebecca...then took MaMaw some flowers at the nursing home... she has called me frequently since Sunday to let me know they are really being enjoyed by the staff that takes care of her and her room mate.....God is good.....

These are the roses that Gary gave me for my birthday....just beautiful....

 This year I made Easter bags...instead of baskets.....and I love how they turned out...Gary bought me a new Cricut cartridge called "A child's year"....and it's just amazing...full of beautiful images of children growing up...all the silhouettes you see on the bags are from this cartridge and I popped them out with foam dots....

 Aren't these images adorable.....

So so sweet....I am going to get a lot of use from this cartridge....


when Rebecca opened her bag...she yelled "Yea, bubbles...I love bubbles....and then she ate some of her candy and colored her eggs....there is nothing better than having kids in your life....they bring such joy and enjoyment to our days...I love love love being a mom....I have included the pics of the egg process....if your interested....

Rebecca is coloring her Easter eggs...one of her favorite things to do....

a little unsure of how this color is going to turn out...

thinking about re-coloring this one....have you noticed my photos are fuzzy...I need to clean the lense....

Now getting happy about the results...

Ta Daaaaa we have a winner...the perfect color...and now a clear picture....

carefully checking the color...she is serious about her eggs....I think this picture is supposed to be in front of the one you just saw....

I love that she is almost fourteen and still loves to color Easter eggs....

this is serious work here....interesting when I look at my photos at what I really capture.... I can see the lunch leftovers on the stove....

"Mom,  you still taking pictures...."

She gave me the stink-eye....

Apparently giving me the stink-eye cracks her up....

She is working on her ninja egg....did I mention she is into ninja's lately....

I repeat...serious work going on here....

I love capturing the creative process....

I should do a post of each year she has sat here coloring eggs in this same stool....but that would probably be boring to you...what I should do is a lay-out just for me...oh that would tickle me....:)

This is a magic egg...it has eyes, a beard and hair....that showed up in the dye....we are impressed with this.....love love love those inky fingers....

Blessings
Sherry
