DIY: Easter Village


I have always had a fascination with miniature villages. I could just look at them for hours. The firm I used to work for puts up a snow village at the holidays, and I was excited to get involved my first year working there. Over the years, even though I don't work there anymore, we have remained friends and I have kept doing the village, and each year we keep doing it bigger and better. It's gotten to the point now where I get so involved in it that I basically takeover the whole project and everyone else just lets me work! Ha! After a few years of doing it, we found that we couldn't wait until December to do a village, so we started doing a Halloween village in the fall. Eventually, when the holidays were over, we got so depressed having to take down the Christmas village that we decided that we needed to have an Easter village! It's now to the point that there is a village up almost year round, and if there isn't one on the table, it looks empty. For me it's an addiction! When we did the Halloween and Christmas villages this year, I was strictly blogging about fashion, but rest assured that this year all the villages that I do will make the blog! Although this is my first time doing an Easter village, I have done villages a lot of times now, so I have learned some great tips for easy things you can do to make  your village really stand out from the rest! But first, enjoy the "after" pictures:
