Lots of stuff to talk about from my birthday and others and easter

Woohoo! Happy 60th birthday to me! I have officially leveled up to "Vintage Chic" status—more valuable and full of character! Big shoutout to all the Aries and Taurus folks celebrating too—may your cake be huge and your candles few! And let’s not forget, Easter’s hopping in soon, so time to stock up on chocolate before the bunnies beat us to it. Plus, mark your calendars—April 16th, you're hitting the podcast airwaves like a rockstar! So much excitement, I might need a nap just thinking about it!

And as you can see, I have a brand-new logo—because even logos deserve a glow-up! It’s fresh, it’s fabulous, and it’s ready to take over the crafting world one bead at a time. Move over, Mona Lisa—there’s a new masterpiece in town!

Oh, this podcast is going to be a wild ride—buckle up, folks! From the chaotic journey to Crazy Cat Lady Crafts (because let’s be real, all the best ideas come with a little bit of madness) to the struggles life throws at us, and how crafting became my superhero cape against bipolar disorder! If glitter, glue, and a whole lot of resilience can help me, maybe it can help someone else too! Tune in on April 16th—I promise it’ll be part inspiration, part therapy, and probably a little bit of cat hair!

And to round things up—Easter is sneaking up on us like a ninja bunny with a basket full of chocolate! So, let’s crack open some fun facts:

1. Chocolate bunnies—85% of people eat the ears first. The other 15%? We’re watching you...


2. Peeps marshmallows—They never expire. Pretty sure they’ll outlive us all.


3. The world’s largest EasterEaster egg—It was over 34 feet tall. Imagine trying to hide that in your backyard!


4. Egg decorating origins—People have been dyeing eggs for centuries. Early humans: “Let’s color these for fun.” Modern humans: “Let’s also throw in some glitter and make a mess!”


5. Easter Bunny vs. Santa Claus—One brings chocolate, the other brings presents. Both break into your house. Suspicious, right?



So, stock up on goodies, embrace the sugar rush, and remember—calories don’t count on holidays!

Easter is a holiday rich with fascinating history and traditions. Here are some interesting facts:

 * The date of Easter changes every year:
   * Easter is a "movable feast," meaning its date varies. It's calculated based on the lunar calendar. Specifically, it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.

 * Easter's name may come from a goddess:
   * The name "Easter" is believed by some scholars to be derived from Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess associated with spring and fertility.

 * The Easter Bunny's origins are German:
   * The legend of the Easter Bunny is thought to have originated in Germany. Hares were symbols of fertility, and the tradition of them bringing eggs spread as German immigrants settled in other countries.

 * Egg decorating has Ukrainian roots:
   * The art of decorating Easter eggs, particularly the intricate designs known as "pysanky," has strong roots in Ukrainian tradition.

 * Pretzels were once an Easter food:
   * Historically, pretzels were associated with Easter. Their twisted shape was thought to resemble arms crossed in prayer.
 * Differing Easter Bunny traditions:
Cm
   * It is not just the easter bunny that delivers easter eggs. In Switzerland it is said to be a Easter Cuckoo.
I hope you find these facts interesting!

Thanks for reading, you fabulous humans! Don’t forget to tune into the podcast on April 16th—because who doesn’t want to hear me spill the tea on crafts, cats, and life’s rollercoaster? And hey, be a hero—spread the word about this blog like it’s the last piece of Easter chocolate! Take care, stay safe, and remember: glue guns are hot, glitter is forever, and naps are a form of self-care. See ya soon!

PODCAST GRADUATION AND SUMMERTIME

It’s Been a Minute… But I’m Back! Hey there, crafty crew! I know it’s been a little while since my last blog post Spreading a Little Joy—One Egg at a Time! This Easter, I had the absolute joy of donating some fun prizes and crafty goodies to a local daycare’s Easter egg hunt—and let me tell you, it felt so good to give back. The event was held to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. Knowing those little eggs and prizes helped bring in support for such a meaningful mission? Pure magic. I heard the kiddos had a blast—tiny feet running, giggles echoing, and arms full of candy and prizes. That’s what it’s all about, right? Making memories, spreading kindness, and maybe adding a little sparkle to someone’s day (or basket!). Moments like these remind me why I love being part of a community that cares. Here's to more joy, more giving, and more egg goodies Mother’s Day prep (you know how it goes… glue guns blazing and glitter everywhere!)...

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Oh, you bet your lucky shamrock I’m writing a blog about fun St. Patrick’s Day facts! Get ready for a pot of golden nuggets, from why St. Patrick’s original color was blue (what?!), to how Ireland once banned pints on Paddy’s Day (gasp!). Stay tuned—this blog is going to be more festive than a leprechaun at a céilí! St. Patrick’s Day was historically a "dry holiday" in Ireland because it was considered a solemn religious feast day. Alcohol Ban: From 1927 to 1979, Irish law prohibited pubs from opening on March 17th due to the holiday's religious significance. Who Was Affected: Bars and pubs across Ireland were legally required to close, though hotels were sometimes exempt. Change in 1979: The ban was lifted, and pubs were allowed to open, reflecting the shift of St. Patrick’s Day from a strictly religious occasion to a more festive, public celebration. Since then, St. Patrick’s Day has become a major cultural and international event, widely associated with parades, public...
