Well it happens pretty infrequently these days, but every once in awhile I get crafty again. And since I couldn't be with my family in Denver this past weekend, I wanted them to know I was thinking about them as always. Annual plans to attend the Easter Sunrise Service at Red Rocks was changed last minute to a different church for them due to all the snow that cancelled the service just a few days earlier. Over 2 ft of snow! Craziness. I wonder if they've ever had to cancel the service in the past 60+ years? It's too bad because it's one of the most spectacular & moving experiences ever.
Put it on your bucket list... trust me. And dress warm too. Like really warm because it's cold at 6am in the mountains, even without all the snow. We've been twice (2013 & 2014) and I was equally moved each time.
You literally sit there & watch the sun rise right behind the alter. It's pretty amazing...
It's actually what inspired my card. And the butterfly, made using a punch & a sticky dot, is significant for us too.
We attended a nice church service at home too. I cried through part of it. Couldn't help it. The band was awesome... the songs uplifting... just emotional I guess. Nice morning that ended with a nice lunch afterward at Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant.
And thank goodness no snow here for us... that can stay in Denver until it's winter again as far as I'm concerned.
Although the rain in the afternoon was pretty frickin chilly in my Easter dress I must say. Guess I should've worn my Easter bonnet...
The card is beautiful!! LOVING the butterfly and the cross!! And loving those photos from the service! Wow! ... to that sunrise!!!!!!!!!!!!
