Easter Hangover

Hello Friends!

 

No, not that kind of hangover! I just mean that I have something 'hanging over' from last week that I meant to share with you before Easter.

 

Speaking of Easter, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Ours was lovely; peaceful and pretty. Sometimes, there are days that seem just about perfect and yesterday was one of those. Do you ever have days like that?

Since we observed Easter so late this month, May Day and Mother's Day are just around the corner. I've got some great ideas for both which I plan on sharing with you in the coming days and weeks, and so many other things to take care of: blog format updates, complete a kit I'm working on (maybe for sale?), nail down a few other ideas floating around in my head, test those ideas and share it with you as I go. I get excited just thinking about all of it!

 

 

The flower pots are the project that's 'hanging over' from Easter. I finished them last week but never got to share them with you. 

 

To make them, I painted flower pots with a few quick coats of chalkboard paint - 3, actually - and used this pen (these look like fun, too!) to write Easter sentiments and names on them. These flower pots were SO easy, so quick and so gratifying - done and done, lickety split! 

 

To make the place 'cards', I used these eggs, popped one into each little flower pot, and personalized each with the chalk writer.

 

I so appreciate that the chalk pen is wet wipe-able - a few swipes with a wet paper towel, and these little pots are cleaned up and ready to be used again. They're not just for place cards, either - these pots can hold paper clips on your desk, straws for a party or cocktail forks on a casual buffet. Whatever your creative mind can cook up! Do you like them?

 

 

More to come.
