HAPPY EASTER
I hope you like the pictures.
NO CHICKS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS BLOG POST! 😉
Easter is round the corner and for many of us that means it’s time to get the family round, have a sit-down meal and a good ole get-together. COVID friendly off course! With Christmas traditionally being the time to spruce up the home for guests more and more of us are beginning to introduce stylish spring touches for other occasions throughout the year and in this new post, we’ll go through some easy Easter décor tips for your home.
Flourish with Flowers
Flowers are a super simple and efficient way to introduce spring into your home. The smell reminds us of a fresh meadow whilst the colour can transform a dark and dinghy room into a ray of sunshine. Choose bright colours like daffodils or tulips for the ultimate spring addition and place them in a glass vase as a centrepiece to your dining table for that extra va-va-voom.
Introduce Accents
Think Easter-inspired place settings such as fluffy chicks cleverly positioned next to a few (edible) mini eggs (for the kids, of course!) or a grown up Easter basket acting as a decorative accent to place over plates at the beginning of the meal…all of these are wondeful Easter Décor Tips For Your Home.
If you are good at origami you can try creating rabbit ears from your serviettes which can be decoratively arranged around the table! For those that aren’t too creative, some pretty yellow ribbon and a neatly arranged daffodil will do just fine!
You can also introduce Easter-themed accessories around the home. Get the kids involved in painting eggs and leave these on a sideboard instead of the usual candle or decorative ornament.
Create an Easter Wreath
Who said wreaths were just for Christmas? There are plenty of DIY tutorials to help you along the way if you’re not feeling brave enough to tackle one without help. Make the most of spring colours such as shades of yellows and greens and introduce eggs in a nest. Once you’re done, you’ve got a pretty little addition to hang above your door and make the neighbours green with envy!
Be Adventurous
For those feeling extra daring this spring season, why not go all out and introduce an appealing piece of funky furniture to really make an impact on your guests? You don’t need to go mad but by introducing one statement piece of furniture such as a high backed wing chair or eye-catching chesterfield chair. You’ll not only have more seating space (therefore leaving the emergency chairs well alone!) but you’ll also have an attractive piece that will be sure to get your guests talking.

Changes in Blogging from 2007 Till Today
Being an old girl on the blogging network, things kind of pass me by! technology moves so fast these days that I rarely can keep up with everything! we all have busy lives…some of us are computer savvi whereas others aren’t! I used to be very interested in blog and web design and although I still am…it all baffles me and I just can’t stand the pace anymore.
Blogging has changed in the 16 years that I have been writing mine (on and off), we used to share what we made, how we were feeling…money never really came into it…we just blogged because we loved it. These days there are so many blogs out there…all touting for business promoting themselves telling you how to promote yourself…there is just stacks and stacks of blogs all looking the same….oh i am not knocking them! but…
Blogs used to be enjoyable little magazines where you fell in love with the person behind them…you wanted to comment because you were generally interested in their day…what they had for breakfast, what crochet project they were doing, what they did with the kids on holiday etc…
The first blog that I started to read were the likes of Blueyonder Ranch, Stefani blogged about her family life in America and when I used to read all her stories, it really did take me to a place of escapism…her life seemed so complete…a perfect place to bring up children…you could almost smell the fresh pine air!
I don’t think people realise what a constant job it is to carry on with a blog…to make it interesting as time passes and styles change…a lot of the people that I was friends with when I started, have stopped blogging altogether now!…it’s such a shame!…Instagram has played a big part in that, many of my friends are on that platform now. It’s a lot easier to just add a couple of pictures and write a few sentances and yes, I do get inspired by the people on there, but most of the time I get over-powered by all their ideas that it just makes me feel overwhelmed and I end up creating nothing!
So I decided to go on a hunt to find some of the good ole peeps that are still out there blogging away in the old style..the style where blogging started!
Yep there are still some of them left! So come and have a look…

Mothers Day Card Making Fun
Mother’s Day in Blighty is always in March, usually around the 3rd week of the month, so I thought it would be nice to design and make some cards ready for the occassion. Paper crafting is my new hobby…for Christmas I was given a Sizzix Big Shot machine and I haven’t looked back since!…lately though I have gone one step further and with these Mother’s Day cards, I decided to design them in photoshop and print them out on my computer…
This way I was able to print the basic design off onto card and then print and cut layers to add with 3D foam pads…
Recently I have joined a digital scrapbooking site called Digital Scrapbook.com , Basically I pay a fee a month so that I can digitally download their graphics…and use them for personal use or commercial use depending on the fee I pay…This cuts out all the time it takes to create the graphics myself…and perfect for making cards for the family…go and check them out HERE…
I also created a Card for a friend’s Birthday (above)…(I used graphics from DigitalScrapbook.com)
…and Mother’s Day cards from Rosie to both Nan’s (below)…(these cards were made with papers cut with my sizzix big shot machine.)
…It’s so much fun making them for people and I hope a keepsake for the receivers…
I must admit, I did get a little sticky on the two above!
I also keep a box with all my ready cut pretty papers and embellishments ready to decorate a card that I am creating…The die’s that are used with the machine to cut these pretty shapes have arrived on my desk by the lorry load (I really do not know how lol!) so that I can have the most fun possible whiling away the hours in my craft room…and boy does time fly!
You know I have always loved to make things so I thought i would show you a picture of a card I made about 7 years ago!…funny thing about these cards though ( I made two similar ones), is that they went missing and I was never able to send them to our Mum’s…I had to buy some in the end! strange that! We always thought we had a ghost in the old house so perhaps the ghost took them lol! (really I reckon Freddy threw them away!)
…and here we have the finished card!…as you can see i couldn’t resist adding a bit of sparkle!
and a close up of the finished Birthday card!
I am having a break from getting the house all ship shape and having a bit of me time, by having fun in this way!…my craft room is in so much mess…there is so many bits of paper on the floor. Its so nice though to just shut the door when I am finished with no mess in the house…although I do find paper trails…you know the little bits of paper that stick to your feet and then get dislodged in another room lol!
What have you been creating this week?
Do you like paper crafting?
What cutting machine do you have?
Do share with me…I’d love to hear from you.
Speak soon.
Today it is Mother's Day in Blighty, so this last week I have been busy designing and making some cards for Freddy's Mum and mine. Paper crafting is my new hobby...for Christmas I was given a Sizzix Big Shot machine and I haven't looked back since!...lately though I have gone one step further and with these Mother's Day cards, I decided to design them in photoshop and print them out on my computer...
JimmyCASE is a brand new idea from America...invented by Dan Smith, he set out to invent a phone case that was was stylish and yet practical...
Have you ever gone out and put your money and cards in the back of your phone cover?
