Enrich your life now by bringing beauty and relationships without boundary into your daily life.

Egg painting

1.Buy some plastic eggs-I went to one store to look for some plain plastic eggs, and I did not like the colors, so I went to another store, and found these eggs in beautiful soft colors. You can use real eggs if you like, either boiling some or poking a tiny hole and draining out egg yoke and egg white, I use plastic eggs because it’s much cheaper-two dozens only cost $1-and convenient.

2.I used the leftover porcelain paint from painting a tea set, a birthday gift Katrina just received. Katrina and I did this project together. We used small brushes, and washed the brushes off in a jar of water, and dried the brushes on a paper towel before dipping into another color. Egg painting is a lot of fun for kids and grown-ups.

The Easter centerpiece

1.Gather the materials: some grass with roots from the garden, some painted eggs, a cake pedestal plate.

2.Wash off the grass in the sink, get rid off dirt and soil.

3.Add some water to the cake pedestal plate if it has edge to hold water, if not, wet a few paper towels and lay them on the plate. Arrange the grass on the plate. The grass should be able to stay fresh for a few days with roots on and water.

4.Arrange the painted eggs on top of the grass.

It’s a very simple centerpiece for your Easter party if you are planning one, if not, it’s a great Easter deco for the house.

Easter wreath

1.Gather the materials: plenty of rosemary, some ribbons, floral wire, two plastic eggs, a hot glue gun.

2 .Hold a few sprigs of rosemary in one hand, and use the other hand to wire them tightly together. Add a few more sprigs of rosemary at lower position and wire them together with the previous bundle.

3.Keep wiring a new bundle to the previous one until you reach the desired length to make a circle, then wire both ends together.

4.If the wreath doesn’t look very round yet, add 1 sprig of rosemary to the spot by poking it into the wreath or cutting a piece of wire and wiring it to the wreath.

5.Decorate the wreath with ribbons.

6.Glue the eggs to the wreath.

Easter egg hunt

1.Gather the materials: small toys to put in eggs, such as stickers, cute erasers, small balls, girl’s plastic rings; some plastic eggs; candy. If you like, you can stuff eggs with candy only, but I prefer them not to have too much candy. They enjoy having small toys as well as candy.

2.Call a few friends or neighbors with kids to have an Easter egg hunt event. You can all prepare some eggs for kids to hunt.

3.Whoever has a big garden could host the event. Otherwise do it indoor. Hide eggs in the drawers, under pillows, under table and chairs, in boxes, etc.

4.Moms and Dads could enjoy some tea and coffee, share some emotional energy.
