Today’s inspiration is all about preparing for Easter. This morning my daughter asked me if we would be doing anything for Easter since we didn’t really do much for St. Patrick’s Day. (I generally try to decorate our home, even if it’s only a tiny amount, as well as to do or make something a little extra special for that particular holiday to make it more memorable.) Well, with all that is going on around the world with COVID-19, I admit our St. Patrick’s Day didn’t quite live up to past ones.
We all are spending a little more time at home these days with the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. As crafters, we’ve been preparing for this day. If you’re like me, you have tons of supplies just waiting to be used. Now is the perfect time to look through that stash of craft supplies and put them to good use! And we want to help you do that!
