Easter Eggs

Let’s take a break from Christmas, and see what I have been working on these past couple of weeks.

EASTER EGGS!!!

I have been hard at work trying to jazz up some paper eggs. It was fun going through my stash finding things to put on them. I hope they will grace my table at Easter.

I took some close ups, but as you can see, my hands are not that steady.

This egg is painted silver with an earring clip in the center.

This little beauty is painted pink and it has on some of the ribbon I purchased at Tinsel Trading when I visited Jeannie last June.

This egg was rolled in glass glitter. You have to be careful with the glass because it will cut you. I also has a clip earring in the center.

Purple egg trimmed in silver ribbon with a rhinestone earring in the center.

This egg has some of the ribbon I bought at Tinsel Trading. I have been very stingy with this ribbon. It is very expensive and too pretty to cut.

More ribbon being used from Tinsel Trading.This was fun. I glued glittered stars on the egg.

This egg was topped with a flower I made. You can’t it see it, but there is a crystal in the center of the flower.

I made the flower on the top of this egg.

I had such fun with these eggs. I wish Nicole was a little girl again, so we could make them together. I miss having a little girl to make things with. She use to love to help me bake cookies. Things are always more fun when you can do them with people you love.

I’ll try and continue the pictures from Nicole’s New Year’s Tea tonight.

Blessings!

More Christmas

Nicole making our famous sausage balls for Christmas morning. Scout was trying to help.

Scout checking things out.

Scout is never far from Nicole.

And here is Miss Kitty. She is really a beautiful cat. She is not as well behaved as Scout, but I really believes she tries to be good. It’s just so difficult to be in a house when one is use to running outdoors.

No, Chuck did not get a new steering wheel for Christmas. That’s the bottom part of the patio chair. He’s so dramatic!!

Nicole set a beautiful table for Christmas. I wonder where she got her talent for such things? 😉

Picture of her center piece.

Very imaginative napkin rings!

The best picture I have of the patio furniture Buddy and I gave them for Christmas.

Buddy and I outside our cabin at the Canyon. We had Snow!! It was the only snow I have seen this winter.

One of my favorite pictures in the canyon.

I love to play with Picsa.

Me with Papa Smurf.

Another one of my favorite shots of the canyon.

Wait for a table at the restaurant. The lobby was beautiful.

They had a roaring fire in the fireplace in the lobby.

Nicole overlooking the lobby.

Buddy and Nicole looking over the lobby.

This was the candy house in the dining room. They had all their desserts around the house. Next picture is a picture of my dessert. It was a chocolate mousse taco!

Who couldn’t resist that?

Several pictures of the Grand Canyon.

I fell in love with this tree.

That’s Papa Smurf way down there looking into the canyon.

Papa Smurf and Chuck.

Oh, No!! Man over the canyon!!

Too late!

After a wonderful time at the Grand Canyon, we headed south to Sedona. Buddy had never been so we thought it would be fun to show him around.

Our first stop was at Garland’s. That’s where I buy all my silver jewelry. We looked around but decided not to buy any thing.

We took a back road to Sedona and the scenery was spectacular!!! Look at the beautiful snow on the mountains.

The next three pictures are of the Three Stooges. While I was out, they took these pictures with my camera.

On our way home we stopped for a bite to eat. The two Stooges entertained us.

Papa Smurf is gone and Buddy is back. He is loving Chuck’s salt water tank.

It really is very beautiful. It is my favorite tank. It sits right outside my bedroom door.

Nicole decorated our bed for Christmas. It was so pretty.

The bordello Christmas tree that stays in my bedroom.

When we got home, Buddy worked really hard in getting Nicole’s dollhouse hooked up with electricity. The pictures are a bit dark, but you can get an idea how beautiful the rooms look with the soft lighting.

The kitchen. My favorite room.
