Easter Lilies

"Let the resurrection joy lift us from
loneliness and weakness and despair to
strength and beauty and happiness."

~ Floyd W. Tomkins ~

I used the verses John 20:15-18 as the background for these Easter lilies.  Wouldn't these make beautiful bookmarks for your Bible?

"And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him.  For He departed, and behold, He is here."

The Sweetest Angel

"The golden moments

in the stream of life rush past us and

we see nothing but sand; the angels come

to visit us, and we only know them

when they are gone."

 ~ George Elliot ~

I found this little angel on The Graphics Fairy's site.

Immediately I fell in love with her sweet innocence...

but it was what was written on the back of the

original card that tugged at my heartstrings:

"To Helen from Grandma"

My Grandma Leasure's name

was Helen... and she was an angel to me.

We shared many "golden moments,"

and although she's been gone

for many years now... I'm not sad.

I can smile because I know someday 

we'll see each other again!

to make these sweetest angel tags:

Sweet Bunny & Chicks

April hath put a

spirit of youth in everything.

~ William Shakespeare ~

Although I've known for quite some time

that there really isn't an Easter Bunny...

I admit, I still have a soft spot for images

that depict the guy!

And hope to my heart comes singing,
At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing!"
