Thankful for Friday and Happy Easter

Easter is my favorite holiday of the year. Most people count Christmas as the top dog, but I love spring, love Jesus, and am always re-amazed by His sacrifice for us and the power of the resurrection. Over time, I've come to substitute a quiet time in nature over the baskets, bunnies, eggs and candies. He made me, He made the beauty all around me, and I am so thankful.

Hope your Easter is joyous and your weekend is full of fun!

Neat Things: Mexican Painted Tin Folk Art

Painted tin Mexican folk art decorations are great examples of the many different techniques used by Mexico's artisans. The metal work and beautiful hand painting is evidence of the dedication to Mexico's spiritual roots. All of tin folk art pieces are handmade and hand painted.  I just love the shapes, colors and attention to detail!
