Last Minute Easter Inspiration

April 8, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 48 Comments

I had a lot of fun putting together an Easter themed craft section for the latest issue of Silver Magazine. If you are running short of time, here are a couple of projects that can be whipped up in next to no time! 

Sarah and I would like to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter!! We have family arriving from interstate in a couple of days so things may be a bit quiet around here.

    Don’t those carrots look gorgeous. They won’t be going out for the Easter Bunny.
    Happy Easter to you girls and enjoy your visitors and holidays

    These look like lovely projects, and how very exciting to have them in a magazine. As I’m a relatively new follower I’m wondering if you’ve had craft projects written up before x

    You are so clever. I love the idea of the egg. Almost like that Christmas type exchange. Only better.

    I love it. Guess who will do it next year if God willing I am still here.

    Love it.
