Easter Decorations

With just a few days to spare, I finally decorated!  I realize I have less than I thought, although I think there may still be a box left in the attic.  So instead of spreading things out this year, I just went one extra festive space and few small touches elsewhere.  I have everyone's Easter treats and baskets ready, eggs have been dyed, and now the house is festive.  I think I am officially ready for Easter!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's On Its Way!

Easter sort of snuck up on me this year, despite coloring eggs at the beginning of the month.  I haven't really properly decorated for my very favorite holiday, but I have managed to add a few festive touches around our dining room.  I've been lucky recently at finding some cute vintage decorations, so I haven't even bothered digging out whatever we have in the attic.  I have managed to find time to gather lots of goodies for baskets for everyone in the house.  Putting together baskets is my favorite!  On Easter Sunday, we will head to my grandparents for an afternoon egg hunt and pinata and then on to visit other family members.  I'm hoping to dye some eggs with the boys before then too and eat my share of Cadbury eggs!

March Crafternoon

Sunday was the March crafternoon and because Easter is actually in March this year, we dyed eggs and exchanged baskets.  Easter is my absolute favorite holiday, so I was extra excited for this one!  As always, go to Heidi's blog for a proper look at how she once again outdid herself with decorations and yummy treats and to drool over Jessee's delicious macarons.  The cat bucket was mine, but I forgot to take a picture of it.  It was filled with candy, a cute mug, a set of salt and pepper shakers, and some jewelry, hairpins, and an ornament that I made.  I ended up with Heather's basket, because I knew it would be full of good stuff and I had gotten a head's up that it contained five Cadbury Cream Eggs!  And because it's not enough that she has us all over to her house, makes us food, and provides us with supplies, Heidi gave us all cute little watering cans full of candy.



It was fun seeing how everyone's eggs turned out and the different ways they dyed and decorated them.  I used Kool-Aid to dye mine, which was really easy.  I was limited with my colors, though, so I used some the vinegar based dye too.
