Some Easter Imagery

Hello friends!
Well, just a few more days 'til Easter...it just doesn't seem possible.
Over the weekend I went shopping for goodies for the Easter bags I was putting together.
No matter how old my kids/grand kids get, I will probably always get them Easter goodies.
I get the cheap $1 store gift bags and fill them full of the things I know they like.
~
Of course, I had to get something for myself too...
...and peanut M&M's are my favorite.



Now of course you and I both know that no matter what seasonal color they come in,
they all taste the same, right?


Then why is it that I could swear that the pastel ones taste better?


Aren't they just such beautiful colors?
And so springy?



There's just something about the lovely pastel colors that so pleases my eye.

So how crazy does one have to be to have a photo shoot with a jar of M&M's?


 I've either got to be a little nuts (pun intended) or desperate for blogging material.


Sometimes all it takes is a bag of candy to inspire me :)

    I would have likely done the same.Have a photo shoot,that is if I hadn't eaten them all too quickly. Now I want to go out and buy a bag of those candies. :)

    Hi Debby! Well this is a beautiful photo shoot with the M & Ms! Oh, I agree - the pastel ones do taste better. I love your set up and now I'm craving some chocolate! :) Thanks always for popping in to see me.
    Be a sweetie,

    Debby, you will NOT believe this, but I have a bag of M & Ms right next to me, as I type!! Liberty brought them at Christmas, all the way from Canada, for her father, who loves peanuts, but hasn't touched them. So, I thought I'd better get the ball rolling...they're delicious - but not as pretty as your pastel-y, Easter batch! Sweet and dreamy pics; enjoy!

    I did a photo shoot with colored eggs once…really went wild. You're not crazy (or we both are). Your photos are just stunning and the colors are so beautiful. I agree with you about the pastels tasting better! Hope you have a blessed Easter!

    Love your photos and love peanut m&m's too! We used some with the girls to add to the bunny cake. When I was craving some a little later, I whispered to my husband if he knew where the extra were. I was so sad when he said he and our grandson are them!

    I think the pastels taste better too! The colors of Easter are such happy colors. I enjoyed this post...now I just wish I had some M&M 's! LOL

    If you are crazy to make a post all about M & M's, then I am crazy for trying to eat them off the screen!! LOL!

    Beautiful colors, and I think you're right - the pastel ones taste better. Although, I'm also a fan of the red and green ones at Christmas...and every other color...at every other time of year.

    GOD BLESS!

    Who knew M & M's could look so pretty! I guess I pop them into my mouth too fast to enjoy their loveliness :)

    Your post is full of Spring beauty....I love it! Hugs to you, sweet friend.

    Oh Debby, this was a most enjoyable, pretty and fun post!
    Your photos are beautiful!! I really need to get smart with the camera :-) I have never been one for taking pictures, but with the blog I need to step up, get out of my comfort zone and just do it!
    Peanut M&M's are my favorite, but I do not like the brown ones, they taste different. ;-)
    I agree with you, pastels are the bestest!

    Congratulations on your win over at Stephanie's! I think that beautiful gift is going right where God wants it to go.
    I'm so happy for you!

    Beautiful pictures! I am a peanut M & M fan too. I don't care for chocolate, so the saltiness of the peanut makes the chocolate a little more tolerable. Yes, there is something wrong with me!! I am following you now and am looking forward to reading more!
