EASTER BASKETS

This is a close up of one of the baskets, filled with shredded tissue paper and yummy Easter eggs
This is the little Thomas Easter basket i have made for my still little baby (declan) who is two and loves Thomas and chocolate of course. I have made two different baskets for my other two children aged 4 and 10(couldn't leave them out) although my 4 year old boy has been threatened that i will eat his if he doesn't stop mis-behaving, (what is it with boys of this age?) they just seem to jump all over the furniture and run around the house instead of sitting quietly like girls and playing or colouring etc




Well this is my little suprise of what i have been making for our neighbours little ones for easter, I have picked up tips from different blogs over the past few days on how to make these baskets(so i do not want to take credit for someone elses design) although i have adjusted to make mine own suitable template. I have used various bits of scrap papers, ribbons, cards etc and my lovely pearly stuff and nesterbilities. I really enjoyed making these and i am delighted by the results, you can make these as simple or as fancy as you like, i chose in the middle considering i had to make 7 ready for this pm (lol) no stress then

  5. Hi Debra, thanks for your lovely comment on my card. Just to answer your question about the su wheel and ink, I am using the ink cartridge at the minute they are briliant, no mess and so easy to use but it would end up very expensive to get all the colours that you would want so I tried using it with my ink pads and it works just fine, not as easy as the cartridge but just as good. My advice would be get a cartridge in the colour you will use the most and then you can always use your ink pads if you want a change. Hope this helps. Donna x

  9. Debbie,
    Wow! Love the baskets, why didn't I think of that? hehehe I KNOW what you mean about the boys...I have two, one that is 4 1/2 and one that is almost 6 and they are the SAME WAY! I wish I had about half of their energy! It makes me tired just watching them, LOL! Mine loved Thomas too! But my older one has grown out of Thomas, *sniff*.
    Blessings!
