Getting ready for Easter

What do you do when you’re stuck indoors in a Louisiana flood? Decorate for Easter!

“He is not here, for He has risen!” Matthew 28:6

This time of year my bank account is still trying to catch up from Christmas and BOTH of my kids’ January birthdays, so I have to keep it cheap when decorating my home for Easter. One of my favorite places to go is World Market. I have one about an hour away from my town, but if there isn’t one close to you, not to worry – they have a website: http://www.worldmarket.com.

These giant cardboard eggs come in a set of 3 at World Market, and they are so cute! They also open, so you can put candy in them. I usually use them as a centerpiece on my breakfast table in a basket with some straw, but this year I just set them out on my coffee table.

This cute little bunny dish also came from World Market, and although it is meant to hold eggs, I filled mine with Easter m&m’s, because who wouldn’t rather have m&m’s?!? I cross stitched the “Easter Blessings” picture, and the “Happy Easter” picture was a free printable I found on Pinterest (eighteen25.com). You could also just Google Easter printables and print out any you’d like for free, then just grab a cheap frame from the store.

This lantern stays out year-round at my house, so to make it more festive I filled it with plastic eggs we’ve accumulated over the years.

Everything I decorated with was either free or less than $10, which made my bank account breathe a sigh of relief. Happy Easter everyone, and remember why we celebrate this holiday!

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die.” John 11:25-26
