Easter Peeps and Jesus



Interesting title...yes, I know.
As a Christian mom, it's always a bit difficult to make sure our family's focus is on Jesus at Easter.  Easter is remembering Jesus' life, death and resurrection.  Easter is the basis of all Christianity.
It's so easy to miss the true meaning and significance of Easter
 with all the chocolate candy, hunting for eggs and decorating with cute bunnies.
(We love all that stuff too.) 

So, imagine my surprise and delight when I saw this from Detail Oriented Diva.
Of course, I had to run to the store and make my own for my small group leaders at church!
Natalie at Detail-Oriented Diva provides you a printable of her gorgeous tags,
but color copier ink is worth it's weight in gold at our home, so I chose not to use it.
I just simply used a clip art chocolate bunny picture with black wording.
I glued mine onto card stock and of course, I had to add ribbon! 
Natalie is currently on an 'Easter Basket Re-Label Mission'.
Her goal is to take the things in her daughter's Easter Basket and relay them back to Jesus.
Her ideas are so clever and fun!  I want to 'borrow' them all! 
(I guess I should really say 'copy' them all!)

Look at this 'Chick' Jesus Out! See that the Lord is good. Psalm 34:8

And look at this one with a wind-up walking toy...

And take a look at this one...

And this one too...

Wow! And these are just some of the things in the basket!
I think I need to go on a 'Re-Label Mission'!
Thanks so much for the inspiration, Natalie
and thanks for linking up to my Springtime Holiday Link Party!

  4. These are such adorable ideas! I love that the focus is kept on the meaning of the holiday in a world where that focus is continually pushed to the back burner or ignored altogether! :)
