The Shabby Nest: The One Where I Talk About Having a Bloggy Identity Crisis~
Every blogger out there needs to read this post from The Shabby Nest!! I feel this way a lot and it feels good to know I am not the only one. Just the other day I was feeling bad about my blog and comparing myself to other bloggers and how my blog is not great like so many bloggers out there.

Another fun thing the Leprochan left my kids was a bag of chocolate GOLD!! I told my little girly girl to draw a picture of a rainbow and lay it next to her shoe and just maybe the Leprochan will be tricked into thinking it's a real rainbow and leave his gold in her shoe. She LOVED it so much!! She thought it was so funny that she tricked the Leprochan. Heehee!! I love holidays!! Especially because I'm a mom and I get to see all of the joy and excitment in their EYES.

Homemade Easter Basket

I was looking at a Pottery Barn Kids magazine and wishing so badly! that I could afford to buy my kids one of their EASTER BASKETS. So around the same time my fabulous mom told me that I should print off a Beatrix Potter print and make a cute basket of my own. I have a AWESOME MOM  full of GRAND ideas. This one is defiantly way less damaging to my WALLET and just as cute!!

Materials:
Sand Bucket. (I bought mine for a $1 at Michaels Craft Store.)
Cardstock
Rick rack
Modge Podge
Pendant sticker letters (Michaels Craft Store)

How To:
Print out a Beatrix Potter 5x7 print
Modge podge it onto your bucket
Modge podge on your rick rack
Put your banner on your bucket. I used a glue gun to glue on the letters to the rick rack. I tied the ribbon from one end to the other end.

I am exicted to fill this cute buckets up with EASTER goodies. When I get those put together I will show all of you!!  Now go grab some Easter PEEPS and make your kids a cuter and affordable EASTER Basket.

HAPPY EASTER!!
