Easter Postcard Greetings

       I love old postcards!  I wanted to share two of them with you!

Dennis the Menace, sitting with his Easter basket full of eggs:  "Chickens do all the work, but the Easter Bunny takes all the credit."   Mmmmmmmm......

Praying for a Blessed Easter!

Lyle and I are praying that you will have a blessed Easter.  The slideshow below is one I put together some time ago and have finally figured out how to get from my DVD to this post!
The colors of the flowers represent the luturgical colors.  White shows purity, holiness, light, and joy, which is what Jesus is, as He rode humbly on a donkey.  The red symbolizes His blood shed, the Lord and Giver of life.  Then the bursts of white--He arose!!  Also green which is the promise of new life!  Joy and happiness are shown in pink.  The slideshow ends with blue--the color of HOPE!
Please enjoy!

Another free book? YES! Just S&H. I love the photos of my grandbabies sleeping. I found some favorite prayers from my many children's prayer books. I included a dutch lulluby and wanted a spanish prayer for Cooper. He told his mommy, "I can write one for Mama," so he dictated one. Also put in the songs I sang for Gabe and Bennett's baptism. Enjoy!

Question for the day:  Should I keep it even if it finally quit working?  This is the calculator I used when we owned the studio.  I pushed those buttons a lot!  The paper roller quit long ago but otherwise was in fine shape.  Do you think my kids may want it as an antique?  My mom threw a lot of stuff away that became antiques.  :-)  My thought is to remove the keys.  You know how valuable old typewriter keys are now.  Maybe I could incorporate them into some of my jewelry making!  Ideas anyone?

Just finished another 20 page book.  Hopefully, I will not get another free offer.  Well, I didn't really mean that!  I just better not keep figuring out how to take up the offer.  This book is of the latest family photos taken in 2012.  Lyle and I will be leaving for the summer and I thought I needed the photos so why not put them in a book?  Enjoy

Ever wonder....
I played some hymns on the piano this morning, and one I have always loved is "Take My Life and Let It Be."  In today's translation "let it be," might mean "leave it alone."  I think the writer should have worked it out to include "Consecrated."

After two days of sending off for photo books, being up one night until 12:30 and the next night until 1:15, I thought I would share the one for myself that I hurriedly did last night.  The reason for the urgency was because of specials.  I made the book for Scott and Elise which is on the entry below on Shutterfly.  I made one for Chris and Lori on Picaboo.  Then I got a one day deal from Picaboo yesterday so I redid Scott and Elise's book to Chris and Lori's.  They are definitely two different websites.  I decided to leave the Shutterfly book on so you can see the differences if you make books yourself.  Each one has its advantages but I think I prefer Shutterfly.  

Anyway........I'll shut up about that.  The book shows photos of our time in Florida with the Huiskens from 2/28 to 3/7.  The Spronks were here 3/10 to 3/18.  We had so much fun, which I hope you will catch by viewing the book.  Enjoy!

I also have done some books that I have not shared yet since I have not been blogging for awhile.  I made "Shopping is a Gal Thing" when Elise and Lori came for a shopping weekend to celebrate Elise's upcoming big birthday.  It's link is:

And if you are not bored yet, I wrote a story about cousins after our family was together at Chris and Lori for Christmas and New Year's Day.

Let me know if you looked.  It's great to get comments.  I can still learn.
