Hippity, Hoppity, Easter Is On It's Way!

Decorate your home for the holidays or any day using what you have without breaking the budget.
Sharing some of my SPRINGness and some cute bunnies with you.

Bunny In The Easter Tree
This tree is up year round and I decorate it for the season. After Easter the eggs come down and the birds, birdhouse and nest stay. Butterflies will be added as a reminder of New Life and the Resurrection .

Bunnies In The Foyer

I have had these 3 cuties for many years. Purchased at Big Lots. The tray was made by my daughter and stays on the chest year round filled with seasonal goodness. The large window was bought at a thrift store and was salvaged from a church. I enjoy hanging seasonal wreaths from it. During Lent...a Cross!

Bunny With The Angel
After Easter this bunny and angel will go out into the garden .
The heart shaped grape vine wreath will stay put. I added purple ribbon to the wreath for Lent. White ribbon will be added after Easter.


Bunnies In The Family Room
A basket of plastic eggs waiting to the hidden ...over and over! 
A child's first bunny and basket as a reminder of past Easter memories.


Bunny From A Neighbor
A doll bunny made by my sweet neighbor and a Easter pocketbook from a mother's childhood.


Bunnies With The Rock Basket
The painted rocks and grape vine basket stay on the side table year round. The basket looks much like a nest. The bunnies are new this year. Purchased at A.C.Moore for $1.


Bunnies In A Gift Basket

This basket was given to me by one of my students many years ago. I have it out every day and enjoy using it as a place to put birds and other fun seasonal critters.


Bunnies In The Dinning Room

When my children were young we were given this cute Beatrix Potter music bunny and cup, bowl and plate set. I have used the cup to hold my husbands first feeding spoons and forks. A Princess House glass bunny reflects the sunlight coming from the afternoon sunlight.


Bunnies On The Side Board

I placed this cute birds nest in an old flour sifter. A perfect fit!


Bunnies In The Kitchen

This old scale is always a conversation piece so usually I keep something pretty on it. For today, the bunnies are the star attraction.
The yellow ceramic pot usually holds a ivy plant.


Bunny By The Kitchen Window

This heart grape vine wreath hangs on the cabinet by the window each day. Bunny has found a home here.


Bunny In The Bathroom

This picture frame, wreath and basket hang on the bathroom wall 365 days of the year. It is always fun finding little cuties to put in the basket to celebrate the changing of the seasons.


For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
Everyday is a gift from our loving God. 
CELEBRATE IT!
In every season , God gives beauty.
In every moment , God gives hope.

Valentines' Day ~ Love From God's Word


What would the world look like if we could just love our neighbors?
Mark 12: 29-31
Love the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Love our neighbor as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.

1 John Chapters 3 & 4
This is the message you heard from the beginning.
We should love one another!


I enjoyed using watercolor gel crayons from Target to add the color to my bible pages. 
A water pen helps to get just the right amount of liquid on the crayon. 
Color a small amount of color on cardstock or something heavy and squeeze water down onto the tip of the paint brush . Rub the tip of the brush on the color......and SHAZAM you have water color!
