Brrrr...it's cold! Here is Avery playing with her Arctic Expedition set by ImagiPlay, which includes 8 wooden figures, a wooden sled and an igloo tote. Avery loves pulling the people and animals along on the sled.

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.
