Let's Get Crafty Saturday - belated Easter Cards
Here are a few Easter greetings I made. The cups are new from Stampin Up. They already have adhesive on them and I really like them. They fit perfectly with their circle punch.
The ladybug is a stamp my mom got me for Christmas and it is also my first attempt at using my new Copics.
Here are the other two cards I made. I have no idea why blogger is insisting that they be turned this way. I hope it's not too annoying as I can't be bothered to change it.
Did you make anything for Easter?

Weekend Update: Here comes Peter Cottontale
My dad had tickets to the final Johnstown Chiefs game and he gave them to us. Hubby and I and his Dad and his sister and her husband came along. It was a good time, but the hockey was a little pathetic. The Chiefs lost 5-3.
The cousins got to color eggs together. That was messy and fun. Of course, now grandma is stuck eating all those eggs. LOL
Earlier in the week the school district employees had an Easter egg hunt. I think my kids were a little old for it, but they had fun too. Here they are pictured with my friend, Becky's, kids.
Here's hoping the Eastern Bunny was good to you and that you had a blessed Easter holiday.

Weekend Update: Resurrection Sunday, Ham, Egg Hunts
Grandma brought additional baskets for the kids and then we had an egg hunt. My mom works at a bank so she always puts 50 cent pieces in some of the eggs, which even my 10 year old thinks are quite the treasure.
Middle daughter found the treasure bag and the most money so oldest had to pout for a while but everyone seemed to have fun. (See picture above)
Friday I took the kids to a gianormous McDonald's near our house to meet up with some girlfriends of mine that I hadn't seen in quite sometime. Jenny was only in so her kids could see their dad for spring break. They live in Michigan. It was great to catch up with them.
We went to A.C. Moore (tell me how much you love the fact that they now have a rewards card) and after that the kids and I went to the pet store and bought Copper a gentle leader, which I have to say I love. It is a collar that makes it impossible to him to pull me or the kids when we walk him. My hubby doesn't care for it much, but he isn't getting his arm pulled out of the socket.
When Copper is wearing this he can't even pull my 5 year old. I love it.
My kids were up at 6:10 a.m. to look for baskets on Sunday morning and I don't think I've fully caught up on my sleep yet. It's hard for me to get motivated this morning.
Laundry...watch out...after this cup of tea, I'm going to get to tacklin' you.

Happy Resurrection Sunday
Jesus came to earth,
To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.
Then He set about His work,
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.
He could have saved Himself,
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.
Our Lord died on Good Friday,
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.
Now we know our earthly death,
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.
So we live our lives for Jesus,
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!
