Easter Egg Carrot Gift

I found this idea on the Constantly Stamping website and made my own for my daughter this year. I don't like the focus of Easter being chocolate, so I try and make something that's neat but not with 500 eggs included! I also like the idea of it having another use so it's not just thrown out. I got a scalloped triangle template online and printed it out for the carrot. Then just sewed along the sides. I made the message card on the bow in Word and PSP and printed it out and embellished it. The felt flower was from a cheapy pack I found at Spotlight on sale, but it's super easy to make your own. This is filled with tiny speckled eggs. One day I'd love to try making my own Easter eggs.

Easter Activities

If anyone is having an Easter like my family right now, you'll be needing some activities for the kids! My poor daughter has missed out on a few events she was really looking forward to already as she's had the flu now for over a week. My hubby thankfully has had a mild one and is able to help out now again as I feel I am coming down with it too. Add to that a very painful back injury so I can barely move and we've also had a funeral for a lovely little bird. To top it off it's raining. Sigh. Never mind, we are alive! So here are some ideas to keep boredom at bay that I have found about the internet.

HERE is a template for making thee bunnies. We made 2 garlands and decorated one set, my daughter just loved pulling these out again this year and seeing what she made last Easter. We used glitter and feathers, stickers and pens to decorate ours.

HERE is the link to this on Martha Stewart, it's pretty straight forward on how to make by looking at the pic:

You can add children's names and hang on branches in a vase.
