flip flops and snow

It is almost April, but it feels like January.  Sure, you look out the window and it sunny but don’t let that sunshine or the little birdies singing songs fool you into getting out flip flops…  the five-day forecast is showing two possible days of snow.

Regardless of the weather, I know that it will soon feel like spring and that the easter bunny is on his way.  I decorated last week (even though there was snow on the ground and we had a two-hour school delay) for Easter.  My kids love digging through the eggs to see if there are any with forgotten chocolate – they were overjoyed when they found an egg with jellybeans.  It is amazing how Easter grass spreads throughout your house.

Here is my mantle that I decorated for Easter.  I change it up with every season/holiday.  I just collect things from around my house and try to match colors and theme. 

On another note, I am excited for Easter because it is the only time of the year that Cadbury mini eggs are available.  Now I am not talking about those gross ones that ooze something that looks like egg yolk – yuck, but these heavenly morsels of goodness.  I am usually known as the m&m girl, but these are even better.  Time to stock up – they only come out once a year! 

My husband is a pastor, so I design many pieces for our church.  I saw this postcard design last year from another church, and I thought it was hilarious.  I am not sure if I would have the guts to send this out to my congregation, but it does grab your attention.

Hoppy decorating and chocolate consuming!
