Easter Baskets


Mum and me went out today, since the shops were open again today - this is theo ne thing I hate about holidays like Easter and Christmas is when the shops are closed. Everyone does that last minute shop the day before the shops are closed and then the day after the shops are closed and open again they all flood out and you face parking problems and big crowds of people and everyone grabbing for stuff and empty shelves. Easter and Christmas are like that alot. You got to be quick and once the sales are - well you have to be early and fast.


So we went out to see what was left in the way of eggs, I knew mostly everything would be gone, especially labled branded ones like Pooh Bear, Sponge Bob, Cars, Hotwheels, Hanna Montana - though there were a few - but mostly all of them were gone. As were alot of the tiny eggs in bags. But we managed to get a few things for ourselves and the kids.


We went to a couple of stores - I met up with one of my old co workers at one story - we had spent most of the day trying to meet up and finally did....


Back home mum got to searching for templates, she wanted something big enough to fit the puzzles we got the kids in but it wasnt working out, she found one and we got to work making them. They turnt out pretty good I think so - given we are on a tight budget with very little money between us both.


Hopefully the kids will like them - one each for Meggan and Michael alone with a puzzle each and the toy is for their brother who is at this moment playing circus acts while my sister tries to give birth to him....I personally think its a great big laugh as karma hits back!


You can find the template for this basket HERE at Jackie Wright's blog - I would like to
