Easter Season

I love Easter, Spring, and every thing about the two. Here some Eastery/Springy things we have been doing this year!
I made this tomb out of salt dough, then I went in our back yard and found some of these beautiful plants! (really, most of them are weeds, but I puled up anything I thought was pretty!)

After seeing this Chick on Martha Stewart, I thought that it was really cute, so I tried making it! I think it turned out really well, but I had to use a few substitutes, such as scrapbook paper instead of patterned cloth. I made this one for my choir director, I hope she likes it!

This is my Easter Basket, which I've had for years since I was little. This year, I rapped the handles of my basket with silk scarves, to make it brighter.

This is a Picture from when I was about 2 1/2 (I'm on the right.) See, I have the same Easter basket!Also in the picture, is one of my best friends, Emily. We are still good Friends.

These are some graphics I made on the computer. I printed them on sticky backed-paper, so now there stickers! Were going to put them in Easter eggs for an Easter Egg hunt at my Grandparents house tomorrow and my Mom might use them for her CTR 5 class. They turned out really cute!

And of course... Easter Egg dyeing! This year we just used the little coloring tablets, but last year we made our own natural dye out of berries, orange peel, and lemon peel.
Here are SOME of the finished eggs. (With out thinking to much, I boiled FORTY-TWO EGGS, plus, the 12 I already had from Girl Scouts.(cheeks blushing.) I think the finished Eggs are really pretty, and we had a lot of fun dying them. Wow, that's 54 eggs! (I just now did the math.) Luckily, I can bring deviled eggs to my Grandparents house!
