handmade easter cards

easter is just around the corner! it’s one of my favorite times of year as i joyfully welcome the beginning of spring, warmer weather and sprouting buds. we’re especially excited for it this year, as we’re hosting a little gender reveal easter egg hunt at our house (we found out what we’re having yesterday!!!). i’ll be sure to post the results next week. :) i also love giving sweet (or humorous) easter cards to our families, and above are a few favorites i’ve spotted thus far.

decorating easter eggs

easter egg diy's

since we never had eggs in the house (and i feel too guilty buying them for just their shells), i’ve decided to pass on decorating eggshells this year. it’s such a fun tradition though, i couldn’t help but share with you some of the beauties i’ve spotted! i am especially loving the ones with gold accents. it’s times like these where i really miss my hens, they were so fun to take care of! i don’t miss eating eggs though.. so i guess that’s that..

are you decorating eggshells this year? what is your diy style of choice?

chalk art for christmas

today i’ve been oohing and ahhing over valerie’s chalk art at lily & val. valerie first hand draws in chalk, then meticulously paints over them using a technique that preserves the realistic look of chalk with the durability of acrylic paint. the result looks like an authentic chalk masterpiece, but won’t ever rub off! i think these would make great christmas gifts, or add the perfect touch to your holiday decor. visit her shop  or website for originals, digital and prints.

holiday ad special on going home to roost

hello, friends! i can’t believe october is almost over and the holidays are quickly approaching! if you’re interested in promoting your shop, blog or website for the busy season, now’s the time to start thinking about it. there are a couple of options for you still available on going home to roost:

1) large size 125 x 175 premium ad spot: these larger ads always perform better and are the most effective way to promote your shop, blog or site.

2) medium size 125 x 125 premium ad spot: these spots are a little smaller but still produce good results, giving you a great bang for your buck!

this year, i’ve also decided to offer a discount for the 2 month option (as shown above). i know it’s a busy (and expensive!) time of year, so i hope this will help. :)

to reserve your spot, choose which option you would like below and check out via paypal. i’ll be in touch with each of you shortly, but you may also feel free to e-mail me your ad image anytime.



Choose your option

happy easter!

happy easter!

happy easter, folks!

i’m taking a teeny blog break to celebrate easter and heading down south to get away with david this weekend! i hope each of you have a family-filled weekend full of love, laughter and easter eggs.

here’s a snippet from my favorite online/iphone bible reader, you version:

The earth shook with the news. He is not here; He is risen! And in that moment, joy replaced despair, hope pushed past fear, and life conquered death, not just that day, but for eternity. We celebrate the resurrection of Christ for what it meant then and what it means for us every day- a sacrifice that brings forgiveness, renewal, and peace to any of us who put our faith in Jesus.

i’ll be reading the story of easter this weekend and hope that we all might experience a rebirth and renewal that courses through our hearts and minds, spilling over into our lives and our communities throughout the year!

happy weekend, friends! love, bonnie
