I swear since Boxing Day last year I have seen Easter through out the supermarkets... there is just never enough time to get over one major holiday before the other is being thrown in your face. Don't get me wrong, I love celebrating Easter and Christmas and other hoildays, but all at the right time and not 3 months in advance thank you ;)

So after seeing the increasing amounts of Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns (I had my first of the 'season' over the weekend...I'm so glad they don't make them year round they are just too easy and delious to eat!) Miss Kirby has started asking about the Easter Bunny and telling me that he is bringing her chocolate!

Last year she was still too little to understand who the Easter Bunny was, but she sure did enjoy the eating chocolate part....
 

Easter morning 2011...and egg for each hand, thats how you do it! lol

Due to our packing and moving that is happening at the moment (blah!) I haven't been able to do any easter deocorating...but I have been planning it so that when we move in next week I can get it organised and ready (will definately blog about it :D)... including a little Easter table that I'm hoping to set up when we have family over for an Easter dinner.

We managed some Easter colouring today :)

So to get into the celebrating and decorating, I thought I might share with you some of the Easter fun (and FREE printables) that I love and some new things I will be trying out too...

Last year I found this super cute print which is from Le Papier Studio. It is a free printable which you can print and frame your self...a small touch, but a very cute one!

Find this printable HERE

I also discovered these last year too....very cute Easter colouring in pages by the very talented Style Me Gorgeous. You will not only find Easter colouring pages here, but also for other occasions too. These are free for you to download, print and colour!

Love these colouring pages :)

Bianca from A Little Delightful has posted some fun craft and cooking activities recently including this very cute Easter Garland that can be painted and then hung for you to admire. You can find the download for these cuties HERE

Busy behind the scenes

Of late there have been quite a few changes in my life that have been keeping me busy, which means that although I have been on actively on the computer checking emails and facebook etc, my page and blog have been a little neglected.

This is the main reason I have been kept so busy....

Yep we're moving house...again! So my time has been spent looking at houses, attending inspections and after placing an application in we now have a new house to move into and make our home.

If you have ever moved house you'll know that it drives you crazy, and as much as you try to plan to have it all done by moving day, moving day comes and your still shoving the last of your stuff into a box and it gets marked 'bench stuff' ...well thats what its been like the last few times for me any way lol! 

This time though, I am trying my VERY hardest to get it done in time...I'm going room by room and plan on sorting the crap stuff and the keeping stuff and having a garage sale to make back a little cash...the carpet cleaning money has to come from somewhere right?! ;)

Given that I am still working my part time job, running around after a little girl, running a household and trying to pack, I have decided that I will not be taking on any more orders until after the Easter break. Any orders that have already been discussed and paid for will of course be completed with in the time frames already outlined.

This does not mean you can't contact or email me about orders that you'd like to place. I will start a wait list and once the Easter break is over I will open orders again. There may be a chance that I will open orders again before that, but I am just giving myself this time frame to settle.

I will still be posting about the exciting orders that I'm working on and also sharing parties and styling with you...including the Easter decorating that I'm planning (but can't start setting up due to the move) and inspiration for a 1st birthday party that I'll be styling in a few months... AND if you keep an eye out you may find some details about a Giveaway that we have planned with the lovely Mel from Two Little Bubbles and some other lovely handmade businesses!!

So please stick around while we take this short break from taking orders and keep LeegirlPretties in your newsfeed (this can be done by hovering over the 'like' button on our page and ticking the 'Show in NewsFeed' option) so you are upto date with all that is going on.

mmmmm rainbow cupcakes!!
we made these one the weekend...they didn't last very long at all! ;)

Stay Prettie,
