I love holidays - always have always will but as my kids have gotten older and are now grown up I always have that internal struggle of "should I or shouldn't I" of doing Easter baskets and Christmas stockings. And in the end the part of me that loves the holidays wins and I end up doing them. But it seems always at the last minute. And this Easter was no different.
The day before Easter I decided that yes my kids still need Easter baskets even if they are grown adults. So off I went to Target hoping there was still some good stuff left in the stores.
Once I got home I had to decide what I was going to put everything in. Last year I did chocolate bunnies for everyone with just one basket full of candy - but I didn't like that.
So I got out my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge and cut out 6 of the nut cups as big as I could make them. Next I found some Easter patterned paper, a lacy punch, my cuttlebug and embossing folders and came up with these. They held just enough goodies for everyone and looked a little more grown up on the table.
Here are some close up of them:
I think they came out rather cute for a last minute idea. And everyone was happy to get them along with their chocolate bunnies. And it was so nice that I had all the supplies I needed right here in my scrap room. That's one of the pluses to having a lot of stuff :)
However, I have decided that no more last minute holiday projects. I like doing Easter baskets and stockings at Christmas and I am not going to fight it anymore. So I've already started on what I want to do at Christmas this year.
I hope that all of you had a fun Easter and also got a chocolate bunny or Easter basket.
Thanks for stopping by...
