He Is Risen Easter Tablescape

Anita — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 04:20:05 +0000

I am constantly trying to find ways to celebrate Jesus Christ’s Resurrection with my family each Easter.

I found a darling double banner with “He Is Risen” on one strand and with lilies on the other and bought it. I was going to put it on our mantel…

Then I was gifted a pot of Easter lilies the other day and I thought it would be perfect to design an Easter tablescape using the flowers and the banner together.

I hung the banner from our copper chandelier (Etsy custom build/order from a coppersmith).

The flowers went into a large vase I have and they matched some extra plates I had from My Mind’s Eye.

We had 3D printed Holy Week items and 8 cards for a project we did for our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints).

I thought it would be cute to place each card on the individual settings and my family could go around and each read the card at their setting.

I used copper napkin rings my husband and I made to place white napkins in them and they looked like a scroll (matching Tuesday’s day of Christ’s instruction).

We printed 8 Christ miniature statues and I put those at the head of each setting to be given out as gifts.

Hailey Kinsey Jesus Christ’s tomb oil painting is hanging in the background.

I purchased this at Deseret Book a few years ago and I hang it in our kitchen March through the end of April.

I loved the way it turned out!

Supply list below.

Supplies for this He Is Risen Tablescape

Easter Lilies flower (centerpiece)— A gift but I’m pretty sure they came from Meier’s Meats. I saw the same one today when I was there.

Vase for the Easter Lilies— I’ve had this green vase for a long time and I don’t know where I got it.

Gold charger for the vase— I’ve had this charger for a long time as well and I don’t remember where it came from.

White large napkins—Ikea

Copper Napkin ring (DIY tutorial here)

Sam’s Club flatware

Crystal goblets —gift from my mother-in-law, so I’m not sure where they came from.

My Mind’s Eye paper plates I layered the following paper plates:

Christmas Memories Mistletoe Scalloped Paper Plate	Fall Sprigs Plate

My Mind’s Eye He Is Risen Banner:

Paper Banner Set

Holy Week Easter Advent items SUPPLIES and FILES found at this post + 8 Christus Statues for each setting.

I made a folded little linen cloth for Saturday since everyone got a statue of Jesus Christ on each setting, I needed to come up with an 9th item.

That’s it.

Because I had the Holy Week advent and my husband had printed out the statues for family, this tablescape came together in about 15 minutes.

I love how it turned out and cannot wait to celebrate with family.

He IS Risen!

Norwegian Fjords Cruise— “Must See”

Anita — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 21:01:34 +0000

I went to Norway last year and fell in love!

It is so incredibly gorgeous!!

The Fjords are the most peaceful and scenic of places on Earth!! My opinion is of course subjective to where I’ve been before.

I’ve been to the mountainous regions of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, around the United States—including Alaska and many mountainous islands: Tahiti, Taiwan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and most of the Hawaiian Islands.

While all of the aforementioned places earn ‘top mountainous scenery’ awards in my book—all for different reasons, Norway topped them—or at least tied with New Zealand… this said, I feel like you can’t really beat the fjord + the mountains + a cruise ship. You can look for hours without having to steer or pull over.

The Fjords were incredibly peaceful as we cruised up and down them. I sat on our balcony ‘drinking in the breathtaking scenery’ and had some much needed rest and relaxation.

The waterfalls, the little Norwegian houses, the massive heights of rock walls on either side of us the entire time quite literally brought tears to my eyes.

While looking for a Norwegian Fjord cruise, I read many travel guides and tips and forums. I wrote the commonalities down. I found that everyone who had been to these fjords said that were a few, “must sees”. The three “must see” fjords widely agreed upon were Nordfjordeid, Flåm, and Geirangerfjord.

People said that in order to really capture the, “Best of the Best that Norway has to offer” you should fit all three in.

The only cruiseline that went to all three of those Fjords during a time when my husband and I could make it was Celebrity.

We love Princess and are Platinum members but Celebrity was the only one that made it to all of those port stops and so we went with them and we were glad we took the chance. We loved Celebrity so much that we’d happily cruise both lines now. They are comparable in all aspects.

I’d recommend not missing any of these fjords but if I had to choose to rank them they would be ranked as follows:

1st- Nordfjordeid

2nd- Geirangerfjord

3rd- Flåm.

Don’t get me wrong, Flåm is incredibly beautiful but the other two ports were more impressive to me. Since many cruise lines do not offer itineraries with all three ports I listed them in order of my favorite to least favorite.

Here is what we ended up doing at each stop. Again, I sifted through a LOT of information in order to find what the majority of people said you MUST SEE on a Norwegian Cruise.

I found that there were three ports mentioned to not miss. I then researched those three ports and what most said were the best things were to do there. Then we booked those that most interested us and that is what we did.

Things we did at Nordfjordeid:

We disembarked as soon as we could and walked over to take photos at the iconic Nordfjordeid sign before it was swarmed with people.

Then, we hurried into Sagastad, a Viking Museum before it got too busy.

We were some of the first ones in but it filled up quickly. We did not stay long and as we were leaving there was quite the line out the door.

So get off the ship quick if you want to go to this museum it is not very big.

It was only a few minute walk to the Nordfjordeid sign and Sagastad.

The Myklebust ship is the largest Viking ship that has been found in Norway. It was found in a burial mound in Nordfjordeid in 1874 and replicated. This replica is used on the water for Norwegian celebrations.

Photo: Ruben Soltvedt

Then we took the bus to the Loen ski lift and saw the MOST SCENIC and BREATHTAKING view—it moved me to tears.

We also saw base jumpers jump from the top of the mountains—what a rush!

At the bottom of the ski lift I went into a darling Norwegian shop with handmade items.

I bought a centerpiece for my table at home.

It reminds me of my late step-grandmother who is Norwegian.

The vase was hers and coincidentally it matches the pink crystal goblets that I inherited from my late grandmother on the other side of my family.

This Norwegian-inspired tablescape is for my husband’s birthday and I’ll post about it soon but I wanted to show the darling branches, cherries, mushrooms, and strawberries that I found at this Norwegian shop at the base of the Loen ski lift.

We headed back to the cruise ship and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery headed out of Nordfjordeid…

Things we did at Geirangerfjord

The scenery coming in and out of Geirangerfjord could not be beat!! It was breathtaking.

This waterfall is called the Seven Sisters.

We got one of the first speed boat rides offered for our docking time and took it around the fjord.

It was so much fun!

Afterward, we hopped on the bus and went to the top of Geirangerfjord to a few lookout points that were amazing!!

3- We did some shopping. I found the most darling little Santa Claus that reminded me of my late grandfather, John Bliss, who recommended this cruise to us.

I wish I could find a photo of the mini Santa statue with a Norway flag on his sweater but it’s packed away in Christmas bins. Don’t miss the Norwegian shops, they have very unique items. My children loved the souvenirs we picked out for them.

We enjoyed the scenery on the way out of Geirangerfjord.

Things we did at Flåm

We took the train up to the top of the mountain and back.

2- We explored the cute little town at the bottom of the mountains and did some shopping.

Then we spent a few hours “drinking in the scenery”—this is a saying my late grandma used to say, on the back of the cruise ship as we ate lunch.

I loved looking at the horses off in the distance on that green grassy knoll (center mid-left).

I could not get over how beautiful it was.

Overall, it was the MOST amazing of cruises!! I would not hesitate to go again.

My late grandfather, John Bliss, used to rave about Norway. We hit four countries on this trip and I was truthfully more excited to see England, Scotland and Belgium…but Norway shocked me into wishing we had more time here because of its peaceful understated beauty!!

Bit of Honey Spring Mantel

Anita — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:22:20 +0000

I love to make sourdough bread, french bread, and sandwich bread as well as homemade jams, jellies, and flavored honey butter for my family, friends, and neighbors.

I usually gift loaves of bread, jam, honey, or butter weekly to a friend, family member, or neighbor with each batch of bread that I make.

I gift bread and ‘bit of honey’ because giving brings me joy.

I have had so many blessings come into my life through neighbors and friends who have given to me that I feel like I could never pay back or thank others enough.

Making gifting a weekly habit helps me know I am doing what I can to bless others in return for their kindness to my family and I.

I found these darling honey inspired boxes at a craft store and bought four of them so that I could gift them with a loaf of bread, jam, and honey or other fun items like tea towels or chocolates.

When I was taking photos of this mantel, my darling daughter, Amelia, hopped in and wanted to be the star of the show.

She grabbed a little Easter egg and put it in a mini burlap basket and is holding a faux carrot as props.

I made these mini burlap baskets as jelly bean holders/favors

for a Peter Rabbit kids’ tablescape I designed a few years ago.

Isn’t Amelia just darling acting like she is eating a faux carrot?!

Before I gifted the boxes on this mantel, I used them for this fun spring mantel design.

It came together very quickly—about 10 minutes to design it.

Supplies for this Bit of Honey Spring Mantel

4 honey inspired boxes

Winnie the Pooh (Pottery Barn Kids)—check eBay, Mercari, etc. if you want the exact one.

Guess How Much I Love You Rabbit Bunny Stuffed Animal Plush —check eBay, Mercari, etc. if you want the exact one.

Faux and real dried flowers

12 ft natural wooden beaded garland

Honey pot

How make this Design: Bit of Honey Spring Mantel

1. Hang wooden beaded garland in a swoop across the mantel, attaching it with tape on both ends.

2. Place 2 honey-inspired cardboard boxes—larger size on the bottom, medium and small sizes on top.

3. Arrange a stuffed animal and flowers in each box.

4. Place a honey pot in the center of the mantel.

That’s it.

I hope this Spring Bit of Honey Mantel design inspires a fun spring time mantel for your home as well.

3D Printed Easter Advent Holy Week

Anita — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:06:54 +0000

This is an Easter Advent Holy Week Token Calendar that my husband, Shane, and I made for the Primary children in our Ward (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints).

Our neighbor printed the cards off and cut them and we put them into a nice velvet bag for each child to be able to open and read each day of Holy Week leading up to Easter.

SUPPLIES and DETAILS on materials and FILES linked to BELOW.

Supplies

Bambu lab

ABS × 1
ABS White (40100) / Refill / 1kg

Silver Filament

Sanding block to sand the sides where the supports go (these print vertical)

Thursday

Little Girl Easter Basket Idea 2026

Anita — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:16:39 +0000

I’m always trying to think of creative or unique things to put in my daughter’s Easter baskets each year.

When I’m done putting them together, I like to share them here in case it helps others find ideas that work for them.

My daughter is into art and drawing so in her Easter basket this year she received a darling Strawberry Shortcake notebook and colored pencils.

She also likes Polly Pocket and got a little Easter Bunny themed Polly Pocket.

She got a Shaggy NeeDoh.

She got a chicken stuffy and a bunny rabbit.

There were also Easter-Themed fruit snacks, Robbin Eggs, Dubai chocolates, and Peeps.

Happy Easter Sweet Amelia!

Toddler Boy Easter Basket 2026

Anita — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:54:17 +0000

My son is four years old and loves just about everything!

He is the happiest and chillest little boy; so, I knew that he could get anything in his Easter basket and he’d be happy with it.

This said, some things he truly loves…

He loves squishies, so he is getting a NeeDoh Squish.

And he loves bubbles so in went a bubble gun.

This bubble gun reminds me of Tweak from Octonauts. He and his sister were Peso and Tweak from Octonauts a few years ago for Halloween and it made me so happy to find a bubble gun that looked like Tweak riding in a carrot.

DIY tutorial for their costumes.

Brighton loves stuffies so he gets a chicken and a bunny.

I found these at Target—most everything came from Target this year.

And he is a car fanatic so the Peeps slug bug is sure to be a hit!

The basket also has Robbin Eggs, Peeps and some Easter-Themed fruit snacks.

The Easter Bunny usually brings candy-free Easter baskets + an Easter egg hunt at our house each year … but we will be out of town so we did a community egg hunt on Saturday and they’ll get a few treats in their basket as well.

I loved the colors and how this Easter Basket (Pottery Barn) turned out.

I anticipate the biggest hit will be the bubble gun or the bunny stuffy for my son.

Hoppy Easter.
