Not In A Hurry!

Spring and bunnies go together...RIGHT?

RIGHT!  

So that's why I am not in any hurry to put my bunnies away.  

You know what a huge bunny collector I am anyway, so a bunny always has a place in my home...

...especially pretty bunnies like these!

:)

Spring Blessings,

Happy Resurrection Day!

HE IS RISEN!

HE IS RISEN, INDEED!

Thank you, Jesus!

Easter Blessings,

Happy Easter

Thank you, Jesus!

Easter Decorating

Pastels...light...airy...breezy... Oh how I LOVE the springtime!  Good-bye heavy drapes, thick fluffy blankets, and HELLO sheers, crisp, cool, sheets, light covers!

   Everything is anew...tulips, daffodils, bunnies, chicks...oh, I could go on and on!  I LOVE bunnies, chicks, and the Easter Bunny!!! 

 However, to me, Easter isn't just about bunnies and chicks!  To me, it's about a savior who lived to die...but arose again!  

HE LIVES, and HE did it all for ME and for YOU!!!  Thank you, Jesus!

I bought this sweet Easter pillow from Cheryl Dack { former Rosey Posey Confections} a few years ago.

And this sweet girly came from Saturday Finds a few years ago.

Last weekend, I was in a crafty mood, and came up with this.  

The layers are created by clear dishes and colored grass.  

Each layer is embellished with eggs, bunnies, and chicks...OH MY!  lol  

It is the focal point of my long dining table.  

It doesn't matter where my guests sit.  They can enjoy this layered Easter creation at any angle! 

So then, I decided to use my small apothecary jars to create some small versions. 

These tiny little chicks are too stinkin' CuTe!

Cute little white bunny!

Here are some random shots of bunnies...

This was my first Jim Shore item.  I couldn't resist this Mama bunny pushing her egg in the stroller...

BUT...

LOOK WHAT'S INSIDE THE EGG!

*insert BIG smiles here*

White bunny finds a good home on my tea cart.

Even spring treats and desserts are so PRETTY!!!  :)

Now, I'll leave you with the lyrics to one of my favorite songs.

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.

Amazing love,
How can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do, I honor You.

Happy Good Friday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Easter!

Easter Blessings

Happy Resurrection Day Everyone!

Wishing you all a very blessed Easter this year!  While we have fun with Easter egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, and precious family, may we remember the real reason for the season!

 I have included an Easter video for you. 

Everytime I watch it, I am forever grateful for HIS love and what HE did for me!  Because I know and have accepted HIM, I will have eternal life with HIM.  Thank you JESUS!
I hope you are blessed by watching this as well.
"Just watch the Lamb."

Backing Up~Catching Up

Good morning my blogging friends!

It has gotten even crazier and scarier around here!  Read on, and you'll see why!

SECOND WEEK OF SPRING BREAK

My Dad was discharged from the hospital on Monday of my second week of break...and while doing so, my Mom was being admitted in the ER.

My Mom had not been feeling well the week before, but we thought it was exhaustion from so many hospital visits and the stress of my Dad being ill.  Little did we know what was about to come!  My Mom had double pneumonia and her white blood cell count was 1...that is ONE.  Normal is like 5,000!  She was in reverse isolation, so we had to wear masks and gloves in her room.  After staying at our hospital {and her doctor being on vacation} we decided to get her moved to a bigger hospital in Nashville.  They took her by ambulance, and at that point, we didn't know if she would make it there or not.  She was SO SICK and giving up!  We took my Dad out to see her before they took her because we didn't know if this would be the last time he'd see her or not...we didn't tell him how bad she was for fear of him having another stroke.  My Mom made the trip --PRAISE GOD--and is in such good hands there!  She has been there for 11 days now.  My sister {who lives out of state} came in and was staying at the hospital with Mom, and Daddy is with us.  We have been so impressed by the hospital and staff!  Her doctors and nurses are awesome!  My Mom is on a ventilator but only to keep her still and comfortable while they run many tests.  They have her sleeping through this all for days so she isn't aware of what's going on.  We had a setback on this past Tuesday when her vitals went all out of whack, but that was corrected pretty quickly.  She is stable now, her vitals are good, and her white cell count is coming UP!  PRAISE GOD!  They are weaning her from the ventilator now, and she's doing fine with that!  We will be so happy when she is awake again!  The doctors are hitting this thing from all angles and have been on top of everything.  They have a few more tests but they strongly believe this was caused from her arthritis meds.  They are getting that all out of her system, and she is now making more white blood cells.

My Dad is doing well, but he doesn't know everything that's going on with Mom.  We haven't lied to him at all, but we are careful on what information we give him.  We just can't risk another possible stroke!  He is being a good patient, taking his meds, eating well, and working hard with his PT and Speech Therapist!

EASTER SWAP WITH KAREN

As I told you before, my friend Karen and I decided to swap Easter goodies.  The box Karen sent arrived on a day that I needed a pick-me-up!  OMGosh!  I bet she could here my squeals of delight all the way to Cali!  LOL  Just take a look...
