This egg is a wind-up musical egg. I purchased this at a yard sale many many years ago. I get it out every year. It is kinda large is size, approx 6-7" tall and is made of metal.
The colored easter eggs are made of wood. 
Thanks for stopping by.
This is a regular file folder collaged with the image provided by Elegia of a Francis Millet's painting. The folder has rice paper as a back ground, trimed with vintage lace and blue tule. Stamped with gold butterflies and gold wording, and cutouts of birds. Some chalk was used as well.
Thanks for looking.

Sisterhood is a fantastic thing. The feelings of sisterhood are precious and must be kept close to the heart. Your sister can be your sister or course, or it can be your best friend. My best friend is my sister, and I can actually see these two women as us if we would have lived in this era. I love my sister (my bestfriend). Our sisterhood consists of 38 years of more than everything...

The Canadian Geese have arrived. They are everywhere. If you don't see them when you look up you can hear them... 
Here is a flock flying over our house. We also hear them very late at night, in the dead of dark they are completing their journey.
Today I saw several thousand of them on the lake. One would think the water was covered with snow. This is an area where they are every single year at this time. If you stopped to listen it would be very loud, indeed.
This is another sight I see as I venture around. The sap buckets are hanging and waiting for the sap to run. I love the sight of sap buckets hanging from trees. It is a beautiful sight.
Spring is just around the corner.
The challenge is made from a vintage bingo card, (one of my favorite items to craft with) cut outs from a circus book, the word "clown" on a piece of dictionary page, vintage lace and trim and finished off with orange and brown tule for hanging.

The image is of two children that my husband thinks are his brothers. They do look like family to me. I will send this post to one of them, we will see what happens. I will let you know the outcome later.
The journal is created with some of the following items; vintage lace stained with coffee, a yellow silk rose, stained with coffee with vintage lace and trims. The picture is framed out with an antique photograph mat. The rose is finished off with feathers and a domino piece. The background of the collage is vintage sheet music, stamped with keys, stars and the words "First Class Mail".
I enjoyed making this piece (journal) I have made other collaged items with this image, I love it!!!
Peter Rabbit will be coming soon so I have created this Easter nest on his behalf.
I dug around this morning in my craft room and found three vine wreaths (actually I was thinking about putting into the yard sale pile) but I thought; wait a minute, I can use these as a birds nest. I dug around for some moss and other fun items and located my easter goodies and this is what I came up with.
I love bird nests, one never knows what you will find there. Birds are collectors of things, rope, plastic, feathers, paper etc. In this nest you will find pipberries and a couple of wooden spools of wool, pinecones and eggs of course.
All children are "enchanted".
My item is a 4" x 6" card. Covered with antique dictionary pages and antique sheet music with chaulk colors. The picture of the little girl is a copy of an image in my personal collection with the sides finished with ink and glittered. All the lace and trim is vintage and is grunged with coffee. There is a cutout of a butterfly with gold glitter,the ribbon is vintage from a gown stamped with winter birds with gold glitter.
