Spring = Fresh New Looks


Now that spring is definitely showing up in my part of the world I get this feeling of relief. A need to clean out and organize follows. And after having cabin fever all winter, this is just the right thing.


My blog header is going to get a new look...and maybe even a new background color. I've been working on making my own graphics. Lots of fun to experiment with. I may be changing them often as I get used to them. Or, knowing me, I will revert back to the original "Jillian's Pages" look!


Well I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. My dear hubby and I went to church, came home and then had our own dinner together and made a couple of family favorites to eat. It helps keep them close to my heart, even if we couldn't see each other this holiday. Another simple thing I did for sentimental reasons...I decided to add my Grandmother's (or maybe even my Great-Grandmother's) beaded necklace to my Easter outfit...after seeing several similar necklaces at the stores, I think they are back in style now!

Happy belated Easter!

Thanks for your suggestion about using flower petals to dye eggs. I had never thought of doing this so it might be something I explore with K and N when they are older (and won't attempt to eat the petals!) Locating petals at this time of year can be a challenge, especially when my flowerbeds are full of snow!

Hi Jillian :)

I enjoyed your blog too. I love the story about the quiche. My ancestors on my mom's side were from Alsace, so I found it very interesting. Your camping story was hilarious! Oh and I look at pictures all the time too :)

Anyway great blog and thank you for coming to see mine. I'll be back for sure!

Take care,
Rue :)
