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.

gift box

And for the last detail of Avery's birthday gift from my cousin Amy (featured on Monday's post): its monogrammed gift box.  Amy used IKEA reversible wrapping paper and cut out an "A" to adorn her gift box.  Simple and very cute!
