Vintage Easter Egg-Spring Renewal

Spring is a time of year that is often full of hope. The trees are in bud, the daffodils bloom and brighten the bleak colors of winter. Each week brings more color and beauty for the eye to behold. No wonder hope is in the air. It is a time of renewal and rebirth.

It is also a time for cleaning house, brightening up indoors and freshening dark dusty corners. For me, Spring is a opportunity to freshen up my inner home, the temple that houses my soul.

This Easter egg is an visual of the intention I have for the renewal of my inner life. A time to clean out thoughts that no longer serve me, a time to brighten up the darker corners with beautiful thoughts and fresh clean ideas and goals.

It is a new year, a new Spring, a new chance to seek out beauty and create joy!



I want to thank Lisa for inspiring me to create an egg. I am sharing this art with Theme Thursday..."Girls".

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and visit.
I appreciate you.
Hugs,
Terri
