As we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord this Easter week, we would like to express the amount of love we have for our community. We've had the pleasure of meeting people of all ages that walk into the Treehouse doors, but we have no idea what they struggle with every day. Every time I walk past the prayer corner I feel the presence of the Lord sweep over me, I feel the faith, hope, and love that we share as a community. We may get distracted with the chaos of today but let us never forget the reason we celebrate in the first place. I pray the Lord's protection, healing, and guidance over your life right now in the Name of Jesus. Let us praise Jesus together, pray together, and show others that He is alive and in us. We speak Jesus.

Join us for coffee and prayer upstairs at the Treehouse tomorrow, April 11th! We can see from the growth of the prayer corner prayer cards that our community has a huge need for prayer.  Come help us lift up everyone's requests to the Lord as we continue the celebration of His resurrection.  We never underestimate the power of prayer.  Message us with any prayer requests here: birdd@treehousegift.com or text 6084337896.  

Happy Easter week, from your Treehouse Family.

Our Top 3 New Gifts for 2023 would have to include the following:

1. Silhouette Touch Lamp & Melt Warmers

3. Lotion Candles – our new lotion candles by Kara from creative energy candles were developed from a unique recipe featuring 100% soybean wax, organic extra virgin coconut oil and essential oil blends. Lotion candles are a hand-
   
   poured, scented soy candle that when lit, melts to create not only a beautiful scent, but also a luxurious lotion for your skin. Because it is made with all plant-based ingredients, it is suitable for all skin types. Naturally occurring vitamins A, E and K, minerals, antioxidant and anti-aging properties fill the candles with great benefits for your skin. These earthbound properties play a major role in protecting our skins elasticity and maintain an overall healthy balance. 

We found everything from new sunglasses, to beach towels that never get sandy, to flavored savannah honeys with tester pumps!  We loved the light up touch lanterns and the new paint by number kits.  Check out the cool new Jen & Co purses and wristlets, and the beautiful scarves for this year.  

Music speaks is the new Willow Tree® for this year and just looks beautifully graceful.  We have been wondering too if the Willow Tree Ornaments would be nice to carry for decorating gifts and also for another price point in the Willow Tree® collection.  The Beach towels have already arrived!  We will also be getting in new bath and body line called Lollia that features beautiful gift packaging including hand creams with the key turns, decorative bubble baths, and luxury perfumes.  Be looking

for these and more to be coming in soon!

Candles create a unique mood in your home and release fragrances for all occasions. As you place them throughout the rooms, it’s important to remember that the open flame must be handled carefully. Candle-related accidents are responsible for many home fires each year. Keep these safety tips in mind so you don’t face any problems.

How to Use Candles Safely

1. Look for Fire Hazards

Before you set a candle down, look for fire hazards. Drapes blowing in the wind, a decorative tablecloth, paper materials, and combustible cleaners are just a few items that can ignite quickly. Ideal, the candle should be on a flat surface with no items beneath it and no flammable items around it.

2. Never Leave Candles Unattended

It only takes seconds for a fire to break out, so never leave candles unattended. Should a pet knock the candle over or a nearby flammable somehow ignite, you’ll be able to act quickly to extinguish the fire. You can avoid many problems by placing candles on shelves where curious pets can’t reach them and by teaching young children to never play with an open flame.

3. Dispose of Matches Properly

Sometimes it’s the spent match, not the candle, that creates the fire. Matches can still combust paper and other materials if an ember remains.

After lighting the candle wick, run the matchhead under the water faucet for a few seconds. Then, place them in a glass or fire-resistant dish to completely cool. You can toss them in the trash after 10 minutes, knowing that there’s no fire risk.

One of the best parts of the holiday season is exchanging thoughtful gifts with your friends and family. When choosing a gift, you want to find something that is meaningful, useful, or otherwise significant to the person receiving the gift. Learn more below on how to become better at choosing presents for every person in your life.

How to Be a Better Gift Giver

1. Consider Their Interests

Does the person have any sports or hobbies worth noting, or are they a fan of any celebrities, films, or books? Perhaps they are a more religious individual and love to receive gifts that remind them of their faith. Knowing something as simple as what a person likes to do, can give you great insight as to what kind of gift they would enjoy.

2.  Get Creative

Sometimes people don't want material objects, and they would better appreciate something more personal. Consider purchasing an empty scrapbook or sketchbook and filling it with memories. 

If you don't have the time to invest in such a large project, you could even get them a picture frame with one of your favorite photos of the two of you. The beauty of personalized gifts is that you can alter them to perfectly fit whoever you're trying to gift, whether it's your dad, sister, or a close friend.

3. Observe Their Personal Taste

Look at how your friend or family member dresses, decorates their home, and accessorizes their car. This gives you better insight as to what they find pleasing to look at, whether it's more chic, rustic, or minimalistic in design. Knowing what they like can help you find home decor or other gifts that better fit with the style they currently have.

When it comes to home decor, there isn’t much that is as versatile, affordable, and effective as rugs. The right rug can completely revitalize the appearance and atmosphere of a room while protecting the floor, increasing comfort, and offering an opportunity to add a touch of your personal style to every space. Here are a few useful tips to keep in mind before you get to work choosing rugs for your rooms.

3 Tips for Decorating with Rugs

1. Stick to a Color Scheme

A good rule of thumb in home decor is to pick and stick to a color scheme for overall decorative consistency. If you’ve already decorated a room, choose a rug that reflects the existing color scheme or that complements it. 

For example, bright, warm yellows and oranges and simple whites contrast cleanly with darker-colored furniture and decorations. If you’re decorating a room from scratch, a good option is to pick the rug first and build the decor around it.

2. Choose the Right Size

A rug that reaches right up to the baseboards can make a room feel cramped or crowded, whereas a rug that is too small can look out of place and make the space feel uncomfortably large. You can avoid these common pitfalls by subtracting about three feet from the length and width of the room you’re decorating and choosing a rug that fits the resulting dimensions.

Leaving a small amount of space around the perimeter of a room will help it feel slightly larger. When placing rugs under dining tables or desks, leave at least 24 inches of material around the edge of the table for chairs.

3. Match the Rug to the Room

It’s also important to consider how each room is used and which activities ordinarily take place in them before choosing rugs. For example, kitchen and bathroom rugs should be warm, absorbent, and easy to wash. Hallway runners and rugs placed at entryways should be made of hard-wearing materials to accommodate foot traffic.
