Spring has officially arrived, and with it a good 1.5″ of standing water on my balcony from the melting snow. How thoughtful, universe!

No complaints here though. The East Coast is being hammered with snow storms so I’m good with my lot.

Hello long weekend!

Besides, the arrival of Spring means Easter is not far behind and with Easter comes … a 4-day weekend!!

Woohoo!!

And what do I want to do on my long weekend? Sit on my balcony and eat mini chocolate eggs.

Okay, maybe not the latter but the former would be quite nice. Especially since that weekend usually sees a welcome exodus of neighbours intent on raining down their annoyances on new victims.

But, if you are not as lazy as me and Easter weekend carries a bit more significance then this week’s free printable may be just for you.

Easter Cards

On offer are three (3) printable 6″ x 4″ Easter cards (when folded).

These cards were suggested and then requested by an acquaintance. I just want a simple and pretty Easter card without the usual stuff, they said.

“Without the usual stuff”. How’s that for direction?!

Having never sent nor received an Easter card, I was curious what “stuff” meant. So off I went to a local store and spent a fair bit of time looking at the options available.

What I deduced was the following: no bunnies, ducks, chicks, eggs, baskets, crosses, and religious quotes.

Add in chocolate and that’s all the good things about Easter! If you can’t have a baby chick and a bunny on a card at Easter, when can you?!

Striking those options off my potential design list, I came up with what I think are three (3) simple and pretty Easter cards.

Hopefully you think so too!
