<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I trust you all enjoyed a very Merry Christmas and are about to enjoy a Happy New Year as well. I always love the winding down of the year, that magical week between Christmas and New Year. This year we are not celebrating Christmas at New Year so it feels a bit odd around here the last few days with Christmas being over "early." However, it seems like the perfect time to reflect on our first Christmas with Kate and third Christmas with Olivia. We did not have Christmas at home this year, we stayed in a lake house with all of my siblings and my Dad. It was a wonderful time! Anyway, I still wanted to capture what Christmas looks like in our home. </b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Easter is upon us tomorrow morning and I can't help but think back to Easters of the past and get a little sentemental thinking about this special holiday. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My parents really did a great job of celebrating the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a holiday second only to Christmas. My four sisters and I got a new Easter dress every year, a basket full of candy (always with a present in it), egg coloring Saturday evening (the smell of vinegar from dying the eggs still reminds me of Easter to this day), a big breakfast at church on Sunday morning, and then a wonderful dinner back at home of Cornish hens, ham, or roast. Whatever it was that given year, it was always delicious! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember almost everyone made such a big deal of Easter! People wore their best and prettiest clothes and hair was always done in a special way. For us, it was curly hair with rollers or rags to mark the special occasion. Also, big ribbons in our hair or even hats. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, I hope to be able to carry on many of the same traditions for my family and make a big deal out of this holiday. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The most imortant part always being Christ at the center of it and celebrating what he did for us on the cross.</span></b></div>

<b>I bought this pretty ribbon from Hobby Lobby and hoped to cover the whole shade with it. As I hot glued all the way around, layer by layer, I glued on some parts that ended up being very crooked and some of the ribbon was even made stitched off center as well. The whole thing looks janky and was so frustrating. A lot of people still told me it was cute and to keep it this way. I just couldn't do it. I want it to fit into a child's room, not look like a child made it!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Anyway, I decided to cover the ribbon on the lamp shade with muslin ruffles. I found some cute pictures on Pinterest and two great tutorials from two really nice bloggers! Samantha from Crafty Texas Girls did a wonderful job with her lamp and tutorial. She even e-mailed me back when I had a question about her lamp. I wanted to know if the hot glue ever got warm enough to start dripping down the lamp. She assured me that this has never happened with her lamps. How sweet is that?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>One of the first projects that came to my mind for Olivia's nursery was to do her name in block letters with Beatrix Potter book pages modge podged to them. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>I love how this project ended up working out!
