sneak peek: avery's easter basket

Here is the rundown of this year's basket:

Little Sapling Toys organic wooden camera: I love how there is a viewfinder to look through and how there is a lens that you can turn to "focus."  Avery is going to love her new camera!

Set of tiny pink Moleskine notebooks

Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks

Susiecakes decorated egg-shaped cookie

Crepe paper carrots and daffodil candy cup (filled with Cheerios)

Bundles of crayons in egg cups

mini easter baskets

I decided last-minute to make some mini Easter baskets for some of Avery's friends.  I took white nut and candy cups, hole-punched the sides of each cup, strung ribbon through each hole and tied a knot on each end to make a little handle.  I then snipped some green crepe paper to resemble grass (tutorial here) and pasted it around the outside of each cup.  I put carrot-shaped bags of jelly beans in each basket, along with some other treats.  To make those, I poured a little less than a tablespoon of jelly beans into the corner of a ziploc bag, tied the top with some green ric rac and trimmed the top with pinking scissors.

bake sale flags

These are little flags I made for our church bake sale for Japan a couple of weeks back.

avery's notebook

I love how Avery decided to decorate the cover of her notebook one day.
