I’m seeing lots of signs of Spring. How about you? I love this time of year. Easter is just around the corner, too, so I thought I’d post a little bunny project including the bunny pattern and tutorial.  Wouldn’t they be cute tucked into an Easter basket or set among your Spring displays?

Picnic Basket Tutorial

When the weather starts getting warmer I start dreaming of all the fun things I love doing when the weather is warm. One thing is going to the canyon or park and having a picnic.

When I was young my mom had a picnic basket made from a bushel basket and brings back so many good memories, so I decided I wanted one, too. I love how big this basket is and that it can hold so much. It has several pockets that are perfect for holding just about anything you need.

Hi Everyone!

Easter has been on my mind.  I love all that it represents and why we celebrate it.  This is first in my mind, but I love the other things like family gatherings, the new outfits, dying eggs, and the EASTER EGG HUNTS.  Easter weekend has always been a big event in our family.

Recipe Gift Idea

I’ve been putting some thought into some Valentine’s Day gifts for the special people in my life. I think giving a small token of love is important on this fun day. Candy, or in my case chocolate, is always good, but how about giving a sentimental gift? They mean so much and are kept forever. For Christmas my daughter gave me this beautiful necklace of my son’s handwriting. It truly means so much to have this precious and sweet gift and will be something I will treasure forever. It has motivated me to put even more thought into the gifts or tokens of love I give.

I have a few recipes that were my grandmother’s that I treasure. I love the aged edges and that they are in her handwriting. Do you have keepsakes like this? Maybe some old journals or letters from a grandparent? Wouldn’t framed copies of your items make perfect gifts for your loved ones?
