Spring Bling & Fluffing Part 3

A few more pictures of my Easter decor. A corner of my living room.
The "CREATE" sign was an Etsy purchase, www.gratefultulip.etsy.com. I purchased the mercury candlesticks after Christmas.

These pretty patchwork fabric eggs were purchased this year from Sweetwater Scrapbooking located in beautiful Colorado.


I think that about does it for my Easter decor this year. Thanks for the party Rhoda!
Check out Part 2 and Part 1 below this post.

More Eggs

Lots of egg decorating going on to make four garlands.
I love this owl in the middle of a crocheted flower. I have a thing for owls! :) You can click on the pictures for a close-up view.


Fun Springtime colors.

The egg on the left in the picture above was decorated using part of a vintage postcard.



And again, in the picture above, the egg on the top left was decorated using a vintage die-cut rabbit. I love his little bunny face. The bottom right was decorated using some vintage pom-pom trim.
Happy Friday the 13th :)

Paper Mache Eggs

I decided to make some altered eggs using paper mache eggs, vintage music sheets, vintage wallpaper, handmade paper and some pretty scrapbook paper.
It was messy, but fun.

I added some glass glitter to a few of the eggs.


And brought out my favorite Easter egg cups to display them.
Happy Wednesday. I got the doctor's okay to return to work this coming Monday. Each day I can feel my strength returning. I'm ready to get back to the courthouse. I miss all the drama! Plus, I love my job. :)

Random Act of Kindness

I was the lucky recipient of an RAK compliments of www.artrageousafternoon.blogspot.com. I love this house hanger with a frame for a picture.
I recognized the paper she used as the same paper that I had used on a wall hanging with a picture of my boys. I love that paper.

Here's a close-up of the project that I had completed this past January. One of my very favorite pictures of my boys together.
www.artrageousafternoon.blogspot.com is hosting an egg garland swap. I just put the finishing touches on my eggs last night. I'll take pictures and post them later today or tomorrow. I completed 21 eggs. They're so much fun to decorate.


The boys wanted to be pushed around in a laundry basket last night when they got home from school. Sometimes it's the simple little things that entertain them!
