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 the final question asked by Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes who passed on the Liebster award to me. How many states have you stepped foot in?  I have never travelled abroad so I have never been to the U.S.A.  However if the day comes when I travel I think the U.S.A. would be the first country that I visit. I have many relatives, friends and pen pals living there.
   I am also participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Easter and Passover. What are your weekend plans? What special Easter and Passover traditions would you like to share? It is a 4 day long weekend in Jamaica which I will be spending with my family. Many Jamaicans attend Easter Sunday service. There is also the custom to eat escoveitched fish and Easter bun and cheese.

Bird Figurine Series # 31 - Happy Easter!

     Chicks are often associated with Easter so I am happy to have a few chicks among my bird collection.  The first chick is a new Easter decoration from my English pen-pal.  A few years ago I  received the second one .    If you celebrate Easter I wish you an enjoyable holiday. It is a four day holiday weekend  in Jamaica - Good Friday (March 29) to Easter Monday ( April 1).

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. 

Wooden Bunny that Janine received from Germany

Yellow Feathers from Sweden

Decorated Easter eggs from Sweden

Decorated Easter Eggs from England

Purple Feathers from Sweden

Wooden Flowers from Germany

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?!
   I am also participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Ring In Spring.  What excites you most about Spring? I am most excited about the wide variety of beautiful flowers and birds as well as Easter celebrations.
