Happy Easter!

Wishing you all a Happy Easter from Squaw Valley! 

Enjoy time with your family and friends!

~Time for New Beginnings for 2017~

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's 

celebrating with family and friends!!

I've enjoyed these past years hosting Simple & Sweet Friday parties.

I can't believe it's been 252 weeks of fun.

Which adds up to almost 5 years and over 1,000,000 pageviews!

Looking back it went by so fast.

I've been so amazed with your creativity each week!

Your inspiring posts and projects have been awesome!!

But, I have decided to take a break from the parties for awhile.

I will still be posting on my blog, 

Rooted in Thyme.

I would like to start taking classes in;

Art, Flower Arranging, Cooking and Garden Design.

I will definitely be sharing,

 what I learn with all of you!!

There's some new ideas, I'd like to make on Etsy too!

I just want to thank all of you for your continued support throughout the years.

I have to say a very special thank you to my daughter, Carly.

Without her help,

 I would never have started the blog or the parties.

Of course, Stan, my family and Justin too!

I want to wish all my blogging friends

 a very

 Happy 2017!! 

You have inspired me and I will always love you for that! 

May you be blessed with a happy year filled with

 good health and happiness!

~An Easter To Remember and Simple & Sweet Fridays #212~

Easter

 is a wonderful holiday to have family and friends over!

Celebrate traditions that we all grew up with.

My mother and father loved having the whole family come home.

I have 6 brothers and sisters and the family grew to 

12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

My mother and dad would have loved celebrating with the kids.

I wanted to share with you photos of the cookies

 I made this year and our Easter table setting. 

Our family would love to wish you and

your families 

~A Happy Easter~

I used my mother's tablecloth for our Easter celebration this year!

I decided to have purple and yellow as the main color scheme.

I found this vintage candelabra for our centerpiece.

Love the purple dried hydrangeas!

  Cute little baskets to hold some goodies for Easter

at Michaels Craft Store.

I made sugar cookies then added fondant on top.

Added icing color gel and painted them.

I got the idea from La Table De Nana.

She is so creative!!

A pretty Easter bunny candle from my friend, Jackie!

Wishing you all a very 

Happy Easter!

Thank you all for joining Simple & Sweet Fridays every week and sharing your fantastic ideas and beautiful homes! I wish I could thank each and everyone of you, please know you have inspired us all!!
