A "HANDMADE" EASTER ~ Happy Easter to all!

A "HANDMADE" EASTER

There is nothing sweeter than a handmade gift.

When I was growing up my mother (and father) always made the majority of our gifts.

From the outfits we wore to the homemade treats.

It was always such a happy time.

I carried on that tradition with my children. 

When they were little I made their outfits and as many of their gifts as possible.

Now I have two little nieces that I like to fuss over.

These are some of my handmade pretties.

I bought two straw hats and two felt bags. 

I added vintage lace, ribbon and hand crocheted flowers.

I filled them with color books, crayons, flash cards, and sweet treats.

I found these cute polka dot treat bags. 

I loved the pastel colors.

Although pretty.....  they needed to be "dressed up".

I made hand punched paper lace bag toppers and tied them with pink and white lace ribbons.

I added Easter chick gift tags with lots of glitter.

I wanted to fill the bottoms with Easter grass..... but, I hate the "plastic" grass you buy at the store.

So....  I cut green crepe paper into 1/4" strips.  It makes great grass!

added a few colorful eggs filled with chocolate treats

and

you have a....

"handmade"

Easter.

Rejoice in the LORD.

Happy EASTER to All!
