Easter Eggs for Senior Living Home

Well Easter is over with, but memories are not.  

I just wanted to show all of you what I put together for the Seniors at the 

Senior Living Home my hubby works at.

First I didn't have a lot of time because things got busy and I could not for the life of me come up with any ideas.  So after seeing several Brooches posted on our local VarageSale.com I got an idea.

Why not buy Easter Brooches and put them on felt eggs.

Ok next problem.  I needed 35 of them.  BUT I didn't want to spend $35 or more for brooches.  So I spoke with the lady told her what I was going to do with them and asked if she could maybe help out.  I told her I was not asking for a free hand out.  But could she give me a really good deal.

She wrote back she didn't have 35 Easter brooches.  I told her that was fine I could pick out others too and put them on an Easter Egg.  So we made a deal.  35 brooches for $16.  

I didn't take pictures of any of the brooches before putting them on the eggs.  But after putting a couple on eggs I decided plain eggs just would not work.  Especially for brooches that were 1" x 1 " in the middle of an Egg that was 3 inches tall.

So I got out my glitter glue.  That was not very funny.  Lots were died up or wanted to shoot out all the watery glue.  I did find that glitter glue by Rangers called Stickles.

All worked better than any of the other glues that I had.  So couple days ago I went on Amazon and ordered all the colors I could get.  GRINNING.

Here are the Easter Brooches.

Advent Calendar I am working on.

Well my daughter grew up with a calendar with a little mouse she could move to show her how many days left till Christmas Eve.  Now she is married and wanted one for there wall.  She did a lot of searching and her and hubby picked out and paid for what they believed to be in one piece and ready to hang up on the wall. 

Guess what.  It came like this.

Ok so it didn't come like the above pic.  But wanted you to get into the Christmas Spirit for a minute.  ha ha

Ok here is how they come.

Here is What mine is looking like

We are not done but getting closer

Getting ready to leave daughters home in Hawaii to head back home.  Leaving the bottom part with her.

Then we pinned the 2 together before I left to show what I have done so far.

Then I took the top half home with me to finish.

And that was the end of November.  Don't tell my daughter but
I haven't worked any more on it.  I will I hope finish it before I go back in October to visit again.

This is what the finished one looks  like.

Here is where you can order one from.
Start now and get it done before Christmas 2017
