(((((((((Billie)))))))))!!

What a beautiful vignette!

Somebody (iwon'tsaywhobuthernamestartswith"free") is picking on me!!

[dansangel]

Sounds like one of those Mylanta moments. heh!

LOL!!! :-)

[dansangel]

Being one of those right wing fanatical evangelical Christians

I'd say you are in some very good company, ((((((((DD))))))))

:-)

[Billie]

I hate to interject a negative thought, but has it occurred to you that maybe the reason Billie wanted her name left off the thread is because she didn't like it? :-)

Silly, silly man - what's not to like about it? It's perfect! :)

Aqua, thank you - yes, I made the hostess graphic for you. Had told dutchess I wanted to make one, and found that bunny, which was so cute to me, I quit looking! Little copying, cutting, pasting, coloring, vignetting, and voila! ..... aqua, daisy, dutchess!

Do you have "Happy Days Are Here Again" music anywhere? I'm in an exceptionally good mood, and even T Man can't dampen it. :)

[GailA]

Remember these? My Moma used to make them for us kids every Easter

[Billie]

What a beautiful vignette!

Thank you! You know, we talk about our favorite colors, and blue has become associated with me because of all the bluebirds that our dear wolfie gave me, but though I probably like ALL colors just about equally well, that red is all over my house. :)

Now, as for what's-her-name-free......those half-sistahs ...tch, tch ... they just like to stir. LOL!

[Billie]

Those are BEAUTIFUL! WOW! Your mom was industrious!

[GailA]

Couldn't resist

[Diver Dave]

"Happy Days Are Here Again"

...Or how about "Zippity Do Dah" from Disney's "Song of the South." It's got blue birds, brer rabbit, brer bear.

Oooops! Wouldn't be PC. Did you know that that feature length animated movie is unavailable in the US? Don't wanna offend anyone, don't ya know.

That reminds me, He Lives is my favorite Christian song.

Here's the lyrics...

He Lives

I serve a risen Saviour,
He's in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.
~~~~~~
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives
today!
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He live, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart.
~~~~~~
In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And tho my heart grows weary
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading
Thro' all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.
~~~~~~
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him,
The help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.

Thanks for stopping by...I'm glad you like the thread. We had fun doing it. It's really putting me in the Easter spirit!

[dutchess]

Hi Before. Sorry I missed you this morning. Hope you're having a wonderful day!

[Aquamarine]

Sorry to hear about your loss and the surprises that followed it.
I agree that man (and woman) have a sinful nature and without the Bible to give us instructions on how to live and follow Christ's example we would be in a world of trouble.

[dutchess]

Hi VC...good to see you. Thanks for stopping by!

[JulieRNR21]

Easter bunnies, jelly beans and decorated eggs are things we all enjoy but for me as a Christian...this is the real meaning of Easter:

He is risen! Hallelujah!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi (((((((((Pippin))))))))))). Has spring finally coming to Baltimore?

More bears dressed up as bunnies. :-)

[Aquamarine]

I plan to dedicate a whole chapter of my book on you Mr. Thin Man.
I'm sure all the hostesses will have some dirt on you that needs to be aired. :)

[dutchess]

Hi Temple. Sorry I missed you this morning. While I always liked pussy willows....I did not know the story about them until I started doing research for this thread. Now I'm noticing them in bloom all over the place. I'm going to get a cutting to "tap on the shoulder" of my friends.

Toss Ink a bone for me!

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL, don't worry, I'm not picking on you. {{dansangel}} I'm too busy picking on The Thin Man.
