Happy Easter...

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
 
I was listening to this song tonight and thinking about the Easter season and how Christ died for my sins and imperfections. I am anxiously looking forward to church tomorrow morning with hopes of sunshine beaming through the church windows as a cheerful reminder of the Resurrection.  It has been a gloomy few days and I am ready for sun and warmer temperatures!  

The Easter season also brought inspiration to create spring crafts to give as Easter gifts.  Check them out below!

Finally, I had an itch to dye Easter eggs.  The first time in many, many years!  It was an experience all in itself.  My first time ever to hard boil eggsonly broke one.  Trying to perfect my designs and color patternsa little tricky.  Dropping and cracking eggsonly one hit the floor and had to be thrown away.  Now, if only I liked hard boiled eggs!
Trent came home just in time to help with the last few. 



Until next time...Happy Easter!
