My mom washing the fabric and then transforming exactly into the dress I dreamed of. Getting new shoes, new purse, new pantyhose, new nail polish, all to match the new dress. Dying eggs. Hunting eggs.Lisa Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990706355525884593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-8674345534318544892010-03-27T08:20:22.957-05:002010-03-27T08:20:22.957-05:00After reading your post I realized I could have wr...After reading your post I realized I could have written one. I didn't because there really isn't any childhood memories of Easter other than church and the song slow then fast at the chorus of He Arose.<br />I can't remember ever having an easter basket as a child, vaguely remember hunting eggs. I do remember the Legg's eggs later on with money in them taped up so it was harder to open.<br /><br />But am loving bringing back the memories of when we were younger. <br />Can't wait to see what it is for next Friday.Thenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080056293865201373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-75675374748127889822010-03-26T21:50:00.214-05:002010-03-26T21:50:00.214-05:00I enjoyed your post.

Aaarggh! <br /><br />I've read a little about the resurrection eggs idea and wish that had been around when my kids were little. Or maybe it was, and I just didn't hear about it. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256552315634307734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-6996469021525888172010-03-26T00:21:18.486-05:002010-03-26T00:21:18.486-05:00I remember a powder blue Easter dress one year.

It had a little scarf that went around the neck and I felt just like a grown up when I wrapped it around my neck and tossed the end over my shoulder! LOL!<br /><br />And one year my Dad bout me a porcelain heart necklace with a rose painted on it. That was a treasure to me for years.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-13341042554849552862010-03-25T22:55:10.457-05:002010-03-25T22:55:10.457-05:00That dress sounds gorgeous!
