Easter blessings to you!

One of my favourite times of the year is Easter. To me it means love, agape love (selfless love), hope and my reason for living an abundant life because of the sacrifice Jesus paid for me. It's a time of year which coincides with spring, which signals new beginnings and a fresh start. I get so excited when Easter arrives, and we can reflect on all that is good in our lives, and spend time with our loved ones. And, we do have fun indulging in a few traditions over this weekend! To kick things off, we make a few new additions to our Easter decorations stash. This year we decoupaged some plastic eggs, using old recycled pages about the story, the real meaning of  Easter.



We then decorated them with some ribbon and flowers...


We also made some large ones, which the children  personalised with stickers...


And here they are as part of our Easter vignettes...





I decorated an old baking tray with a few touches of spring...



...and I made this 'E' for Easter...

A few more  friends added...
I dear little deer...


The Bunnykins cup and saucer used to belong to my aunt when she was little...


A twig tree to complete this little corner...



And what would Easter be without a few eggs...


...and a few bunnies...


And perhaps the most famous egg of all?


Don't forget the Daffodils...



One final touch...a little whimsy...



And so the decorating is done. You will notice that there isn't a chocolate egg in sight...just yet...
The Easter bunny hasn't come to our house yet, but he never disappoints. He always pays a visit in time for the kidlets to wake up to a scattering of eggs on Easter Sunday.

I hope that you are having a very blessed time wherever you are. May you sow love, and feel loved this Easter!

    PS~Thank you, dear friend, for the lovely comments on my blog and for taking time to visit me! I, too, am grateful for knowing Jesus and that we have abundant life through Him and can enjoy it! I am so thankful our Father gave us such a precious gift and that Jesus so willingly died for our sins! Dear heart, as creative as you are I truly know you can garden! Buy flowers that you love and plant them where they belong, sun or shade, water and weed and you will be blessed with a beautiful garden and lots of pretty flowers to bring into your beautiful cottage.
