wwcitizenWhen Matt and I went shopping after my hospital visit, we went to AC Moore, one of my favorite craft stores. We went in for one little itsy bitsy $20 thing and, of course, left with $100 worth of goods.
When we got home, I got a creative hair in my wig and got to working on scrapbook Easter cards. What fun! I made one for my youngest sister, and decided that I had to make one for my elder sister as well, because god-forbid the younger tells the older one about it... The same went for Matt's sister and then his aunt and cousin ... and nieces and nephew.
I woke up with a start this morning bursting with ideas for little cards for my nephew (& parents) and my dad, too, because what if they all show up at each others' houses for Easter - their Movable Easter Feaster - and they discover someone's card that THEY didn't get. There would be rancor. There would be below-the-surface resentment. One wouldn't want that, now would they? Not at Easter when bunnies are laying eggs and people decorate their yard trees (??? - still don't get that one).
The upshot of a portion of my creative streak was Matt's creativity stepping up to the plate and him saying, "Let's put on our [Easter] ears and put photos in the cards!" I thought that would be fun, too, and here are the results (feedback welcome):
