Romans 1:4-5
      And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. (NLT)

     With Easter so early this year I thought I would spend some time working on a few new yard decorations to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior and the fast approaching Spring.
     Here they are our brightly colored Easter Eggs! With the design help of my four children these eggs turned out beautifully. I think that you'll agree. I hope that you are inspired to get crafty with someone you love.
                                                                      Lets get started!

 

                                            It sure was a beautiful day here in Port Orford.

To get started all you need is a template or you can free hand it. I used a template for the bunny but I free handed the eggs, some scrape plywood, a pencil and a pair of scissors.

I used a jig saw to cut out the shapes. A jig saw is such a great power tool and so easy to use. Even Audrey tried her hand at it.

                                                            Now to get painting.
I taped out the lines for the kids to paint and the younger to were able to assist mostly with the design process.

 I knew that Nolan would struggle with the painting so gave him buttons and  let him create a pattern.

                                                          All the kids hard at work!
   Sophie was out of town the weekend we painted. So hopefully this coming weekend we will have all the eggs and bunnies finished and I will post a picture of them in the yard all completed.
      My prayer is that while we all love the traditions associated with Easter like the chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and Easter egg hunts, that we will remember the true meaning Easter. The fact that Jesus is risen! And he sits at the right hand of God.(Mark 16:19b)


                                          I will see you all again soon but until then get crafty!

                                                                                     Hugs..... Naomi
