Easter Ideas...

I can't believe Easter is next week, because it's snowing right now here in Rhode Island. Spring will get here soon...I hope!! I was looking through my previous posts on Easter projects and wanted to share them again for all my new readers who may have missed them.

My daughters Courtney and Kelsie are 23 and 22 years old and long past Easter egg hunts, but this first idea was very popular in our family. We always had a very large Easter Egg Hunts with at least 15 nieces and nephews from both sides of the family. The eggs were always filled with dollar bills (that my mom and dad supplied) and candy. To keep it fair and square, I color coded the eggs to match each child's Easter bucket so that they only looked for their colored egg. I used all the colors of the rainbow and then used polka dot, stripes, sports themed egg etc.

No stress or tears from the little ones who couldn't keep up with the bigger kids.

Another Easter idea is too turn something drab into something fab!!! Here are some examples of what a difference a little spray paint makes.

This poor bunny is a perfect example...drab.

  5. Wow to the placemat Easter basket! That was definitely my favorite though this is a ll great stuff! I am new to blogging and so glad I found your blog. Also, your sewing room is amazing! I've been struggling to find ways to organize my sewing supplies and notions in a VERY small (like you can't believe how small) space and I see that you've got a whole section on organization which I'll be perusing next. What a great blog!

  7. The color coded egg hunts are a great idea. It keeps it fair and when the big kids are done, they can help the little kids.
