Have a Happy Weekend!

Everyone deserves a little "me" time every now and then. You know how hard it is to keep up with everything. There comes a point in our lives when we need to take some time off our busy schedules and do nothing. Just be and enjoy everything around us. It's been a bit of a hectic week...to say the least. So I'm going to take a little break next week from blogging-even an Internet pause. Because I truly need and want time to dedicate to myself and my family.
But I just wanted to pop in and try and quickly post something...for Easter's sake!

Last-minute Easter decorating ideas...
A Blog award and a hilariously hilarious video...

Here are a few Easter decotating ideas that are easy to create.
Cute Easter Bunnies from Le Shop.

Beautiful Easter eggs made of smalt. 
An Easter dinner would be incomplete without beautiful spring flowers and cute items adorning the Easter table.
Small cuttings of Spring blossoms can add a cherry yellow to your kitchen.
Eggshell Votives. This is an incredibly simple Easter decorating idea, yet very elegant!

Eggshell Votives How-To: Use extra large eggs. Carefully break an egg at the middle of its shell. Pour out the yolks. Put your eggshell in a little coffee cup. Simple eggcups make a beautiful base as well. Finally, insert a tealight into each one and behold the beauty.

Seriously, are these the cutest Easter candles you've ever seen? An essence of simplicity-simple to create and beautiful to behold.

On a different note, a little blog love came my way. A few days ago, I was very pleased to be bestowed the "Very Inspiring Blogger" Blog Award by Tracy, at Petty Witter . Tracy is a brilliant blogger, book reviewer, writer and a good blogging friend of mine. Please pay her a visit. (To be continued.)



Goats Yelling Like People by RSVLTS. This is hysterical!! It was literally impossible for me NOT to laugh out loud:)

My dear friends, hope you have a great weekend (and Happy Easter and Passover!)

Wishing your Easter is filled with love, peace, joys of Spring and the season's blessings!
Big hugs. xx

P.S. Look forward to catching up on reading your blogs soon!

  73. Enjoy your time away, Betty - much needed. I just returned to blogland after hosting several sets of visitors here in the sunny south over the past 7 weeks.

    Love all the colourful shots - lovely Easter (and spring !) theme.

    ReplyDelete
  74. The pics are top notch. I like the way they draw the viewer in. I could learn a lot from you.

    The goat video had me in stitches. One of them sounded like the Wilhelm. (If you haven't heard it, do a search for "wilhelm scream.") The spitter surprised me, and made me laugh all the more.

    I like the new profile pic. Enjoy your family. May your rest and relaxation bring good times of refreshment.

  96. I definitely need some "me" time. It seems the hardest thing to achieve. As I get older though, I work harder on trying to achieve this.
