I think that today is my favorite day of the year.  Sure, I love Christmas and the message of the tiny Babe who came to earth to die for my sins.  However, my salvation can only be complete because that Babe grew up, died to save me, and then rose again.  I have felt the excitement of this day building for the last few days. When my alarm went off this morning, I was greeted with the following words: "See what a morning gloriously bright With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem." Now I was already awake, but I wanted to listen to the rest of the song before turning off the alarm.  A later phrase states: "Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered". Yes, my Savior conquered death.  As you celebrate Easter today, remember the real reason we celebrate.  Its not about eggs and bunnies.  Its not about camping or even spring.  Its about Christ, conqueroring death to save you and to save me! Happy Easter from the Parishes

So it's finally here.  After all that work, we are about to finish up.  This has been a long project, but I am very happy with the way it turned out.  I truly hope my sister enjoys this book.

Drumroll... This is the final page (though not the final post).  What cookbook would be complete without the veggies?

I didn't really find any embellishments that I wanted to use for a salad, but I found some fruit.  Just think fruit salad if you make this page.

This is probably one of the more time consuming pages that I made for the book.  However, I think it was worth it.  Following the Cricut chart in the post will speed up the process for me the next time I make a book.

This is another page that was really easy once I had a plan.  Who doesn't like Pasta?  It easy and generally inexpensive.  There are so many ways to make pasta that this should be a great category for recipes.

This page was super simple and went together fairly quickly once I had a plan
