Favourite Easter Decorations - Creative Monday Linky

     Here in Jamaica it is not the custom to decorate one's home at Easter. Anyway my twin and I started decorating our home after receiving Easter decorations from pen pals in a number of countries. I plan to decorate again this year and started to worry when I could not find my Easter decorations. During Hurricane Sandy I had to move things around  so that they would not get damaged. I was so relieved when  I finally found them! Here are some favourites that Janine and I like to decorate with.

Question Time

    Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me to get feedback on a number of questions. Today I answer Question 9 asked by Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes who passed on the Liebster award to me. If money was no object, what would the first thing you would want to do? I would like to make a significant contribution to the fight against cancer and heart disease.
   I am also participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Renewal.  What will you do this season to rejuvenate and renew your spirit? I will meditate more, keep on with my Yoga exercises and take more time to admire nature in all its glory.

Creating Bird Pictures - Creative Monday Linky

    I live on a farm in a rural area of Jamaica where I get to see a lot of birds. It has always been my wish to capture pictures of birds but I was hardly able to do so as once I go too near the bird would fly away. Well, I got out my digital camera book and found the feature that could bring an object nearer.  While it did not cover too wide a range I managed to capture several pictures of a small bird. I then went to work with PicMonkey and created these bird pictures. With spring approaching I hope I will have even more luck in capturing pictures of birds.

Today I answer Question 8 asked by Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes who passed on the Liebster award to me. Do you have odd habits?  Let me see now. I can't think of any. Oh, would constantly writing lists of things to do be counted as an odd habit?!

Cocos In My Soup - Creative Monday Blog Hop

    What do you cook in your soup?  Cocos is a  must whenever I cook soup. Originally from the  Pacific region coco is a starchy tuber that can be found in tropical countries. After being reaped they are peeled and then put in soup to be cooked for about 1 hour. They help to thicken the soup.
