Easter Joys

Hello, my friends!

Whew!  It’s been a while since I’ve posted…life’s been bustling along here.  Just to fill you in, the day after we returned from Disneyland, my beautiful teenage niece came to live with us for a while.  Two days later, my youngest daughter got all four wisdom teeth removed…

…and the next day, my wonderful parents came to visit for the rest of the week…not much time for blogging!

But all good things, and here we are…

A little creating time came my way last night—aaahhhh, did it ever feel good to get crafty again!

A sweet little card—just the perfect size to stick in a spring bouquet of flowers for a friend, perhaps…

…a tiny, vintage button perched on top of a seam binding bow finishes it up…easy peasy!

And another.  I couldn’t get “Peeps” out of my head when I saw that sweet little chick standing there, just waiting to be noticed…

…a bit of sparkle on the egg was all the darling vintage image needed…

…and one solitary old millinery flower, barely tinged with some distress ink to tint it just the right color…and that’s about it!

I sure hope you have a little time to create something springy and fun this week!

See you soon with something new…
