Happy Easter!

This Sunday is Easter. In honor of the holiday, I would like to share with you one of my favorite things about the season: The Washington Post Peep Diorama Contest!

You know what Peeps are, right? Those disgusting but yummy marshmallow treats shaped like chicks and bunnies that the Easter bunny sometimes brings?

Anyway, people all around the country vie for the title of TOP PEEP by building a diorama out of, you guessed it, Peeps!! This year, there were more than 1,100 entries.

Then the Washington Post chooses a winner and several runners up.

Even more peeps!

Which one is your favorite?

My favorite diorama is EEP. I like all the bright colors and how they use mattress wires to simulate the house on the air. The big bunch of peeps on top of the house is great too.

I choose a number #12 which is (White House Party Peepers). Because it is very organized, clean, and colorful.

I think my favorite is Creating a Masterpeep. One of my good friends is an artist who teaches figure drawing.
I also like Goodnight Peep, because I LOVE that book, and I especially loved the little bottle cap that was used for the bowl.
