Liza's Challenge 77

 Egg Art

Journalling:
When we were kids, I remember always being invited by our neighbors for an Easter egg hunt after the mass. It was a lot of fun then, looking under the tables, the bushes, anywhere possible. Each egg will have a prize equivalent, the more eggs, the better. But as we grew up, this activity got lost in the daily grind of life. I think it was more because we matured, we've lost the magic it holds over us as kids.

But I don't want it gone forever. I want my future kids to have the same experience, to go through the same joy and fun of this Easter activity. Their hands getting all colored up while painting the eggs... Me, hiding it in the garden... Them running around everywhere searching for the prized eggs... All of us will be having fun together.

And just like me, they'll look back into that experience and embrace the joy of childhood once more. And so, the process continues for them and their future generations.

Please give me a moment

A big thank-you to Shayne for keeping the JJ blog going while I took a little trip.
I think that she has done an awesome job.
I have some LO's from the team to post and I have some contributions from readers for the end of March challenge. I had over 300 emails to attend to and I promise I will get on to it ASAP.
Thanks to those who submitted, I will try and post a readers round-up later today.
I trust that you all have a Blessed Easter as you spend time with your families, celebrating what Jesus did all those years ago.

Cabbie's Challenge 77

Count Your Blessings

Journalling:

Easter memory is all about celebrating with my family.  There is always a feeling of happiness and joy in our hearts.  Just as Chirst died for us and was resurrected, Easter fun is surely a celebration to anticipate.

Introducing Challenge 77

Challenge No 77 is brought to us by Stefanie:

Create a LO based on an Easter memory.  Traditions from your childhood, who was involved, what happened, why you want to remember it, as well as any new traditions that you have begun.

I have the LO, but not the Journalling for her LO, so will wait to post that one.  Instead you get to see mine :)

How blessed you girls were to find all these yummy eggs on Easter Sunday!  And how much fun you both had looking for them!  I loved seeing the delight on your faces upon stumbling on another egg tucked away.  The Sunday Morning Easter Egg Hunt has long been a tradition in our family.  And now that i've got children i get to carry it down the line - which i just love!
