Easter Weekend

Easter weekend is busy at the McKinney household.

Good Friday services, then boiling 7 dozen eggs for the family Easter egg hunt Sunday was Friday's agenda. 

My sister with her 3 kids,  Ryan's brother and sister with their kids all gathered at our home Saturday for the annual egg coloring followed by spring cookie baking.  While the woman were inside with the kids, the men decorated the outdoors hanging plastic eggs from the citrus trees.

Sunday morning the girls were up at the first peek of sunshine to see what goodies the Easter Bunny left in their baskets.  Chocolate bunnies and jelly beans with crayons, markers, coloring books and shopkins.  They of course were happy to find that EB ate the carrots and cookies left  for him.

Church services, brunch with our loved ones, followed by the Easter egg hunt at our house.

Baskets in hand the kids scurried the yard looking for their colored eggs.

It was a day with joyous laughter and love.

Love and Happiness,
Morgan

Broken Fairy's Design Team

Today, I am pleased to officially announce my Broken Fairy Design Team. 

I would like to 'thank' all who applied.  This has been a very difficult decision and after careful consideration I have selected 8 gifted designers.

I would like to introduce you to my new team.

Melanie LaBelle- DTC

Hi, I’m Melanie or Mel and I’m a stay at home mom with 13 year old twins, one girl and one boy and have been married to a wonderful man for over 24 years. I have been paper crafting for about 10 years now and just love it. I mostly color images with copics but occasionally you will see images colored with watercolors, distress inks and gelatos. Cards are usually my thing but you never know when a mixed media project may pop up.

Caroline Woodhall - Designer

Hi I'm Caroline. I'm 53 , i've been married for 33 years. I have 2 grown up sons Peter who is 30 and Michael who is 28, and I have 4 grandchildren, and 2 budgies. I did have a little dog but sadly she died in september. I've been crafting all my life and used to be an adult education tutor teaching mixed crafts and sugarcraft and pottery. I also used to take children with special needs to school on a taxi which I used to love. I had to give this all up a few years ago when my back condition worsened so now i'm house bound most of the time and crafting keeps me going.  I'm only on one other dt team so it gives me plenty of time to color for both teams.

Audrey Ernst- Designer

I am Audrey Ernst aka Hippieaud Ernst in the crafting world.  You can find my blog at http://hippieaud.blogspot.com and I am Hippieaud Ernst on most social media.  I am a stay at home mom of 4 children ages 11-16 and 4 dogs.  I have been crafting as long as I can remember doing everything from scrapbooking, to jewelry and tie dye.  I fell in love with card making back in 2003, and I have never looked back.  I became Copic certified in 2012 and continue to take classes and practice coloring every chance I get as I find it so fun and relaxing, even when I am trying to perfect my technique.  I also still tie dye most of my own tank tops that I wear literally every day.  I am so excited to be part of Broken Fairy Designs and I know you will love working with Morgan's images as much as I do!  Hugs:)

Elisabeth Sarkis - Designer

Hi, I'm Lisa Sarkis from Brasil-São Paulo, I'm married, I have one 15 year old son, 3 dogs, I do crafts for many years, today I give painting classes in porcelain, painting with color pencils, markers and scrapbooking.

Together we have 3 children, Sebastian 11, Josephine 9, and Benjamin 6, we share our home with 4 cats, Digga, Tink, Thomas and Wellington. I have crafted for many, many years, starting with sewing, knitting and crochet. After my daughter was born I moved onto papercraft, I haven't looked back. I started with peel offs, progressed to printing images and then stamping and digi stamps. I have a long way to go but have most certainly improved during my journey.

Hot Dog Pizza and Sunday Tailgate Party

Every have hot dogs on a pizza?

We did Saturday night.  Instead of ordering a pizza for delivery,  we decided making our own, together as a family, would be better.  Two pizzas, one Hawaiian style  and the other was  our girls creation, Hot Dog Pizza.  They  decided instead of pepperoni, hot dogs would be better, with  lots of cheese of course.  With dads help the hot dogs were sliced and arranged on the pizza which looked like  a work of  art.

The girls were over the moon with their creation.  In the oven it went and several minutes  later they were baked and  on the table ready to  be devoured.  Grace was said and then it was time to dig in.  I was sitting there just looking  at it and the question came, "Mom are you going to eat your pizza?"
"Of course." I replied with a smile.   After one bite, I have to say, it wasn't all that bad. What  made it more ok was the fact it was created by our  girls and  made with love.

Sunday was date day.  The girls spent the day with my parents, and Ryan and I were off to Phoenix International Speedway  for the Nascar Race.  Met friends, watched the race, and tailgated afterwards. Had the most  delicious Asian Slaw  with ramen noodles. Truly a must have for any tailgating party or get together. I will get the recipe for you and  share it here in the next  couple of days. Trust me when I  say  you must try it,  so delicious.

It was a  wonderful weekend with  family and friends. I am so blessed.

Now Monday is here and it's time to get back into my artistic mood and draw.

Love and Happiness,
Morgan
