Easter, on a Slim to Nothing Budget.

This Year for Easter I decided to decorate. I have never decorated for Easter before so I had nothing to decorate with. I decided I would go to the thrift store and see what they had. My first attempt was . . .well. . .not so good. By the time I got to the check out Kade had lost the stuff I found, so we left. The next attempt was much better I spent $10.00 and was excited toget home to Create. I then went to the Dollar store and picked up the finishing touches. This is how it turned out: I already had the free window, flea market type writer and hat box. I made the Easter sign out of scraps of unused paper from my sisters collection. It says, "Easter, So we can return home." I couldn't find anything better that wasn't cutesy. I wanted to remember the Savior. (If you know a better one I'm all ears, post a comment.)

I found to bunnies for .25 cents a piece. The flower pot was . 50 cents and the moss was a dollar at the Dollar Tree. The nest is a coconut husk.

The eggs are just painted chalk from the Dollar store, I speckled them a little bit. The trays they are on you can't see very well but, I got 6 for 1.50 in the box in the top picture. I loved the Sleeping Bunny, he makes me feel happy. I only paid $1.50 for him too!

The nests are just swags from Craft Ware House, I use them for Christmas. The birds are Dollar store finds. This sits above my entry door. It was so simple, but I liked it.

I know it doesn't all add up, but when it was all said and done I had bought too much stuff! I'll have to save it for next year. Or return it to the Thrift shop as a gift.

My home feels Eastery, I got to Create, What more is there? . . . . . . . . Oh yeah, the rest of the neglected house! Back to reality.
