Funny, I wasn’t a big fan of Merry and Type when it came out, but it has decidedly grown on me. Love the font and the different messages. Peace on Earth fits nicely on this card too.

My son (the college freshman!) arrived home on Saturday night. We picked up a couple of his friends on the way home from the airport (literally) and my house has been full of teenagers ever since. Love it!!

I have permission to share this with you:

That’s what a Peep looks like when it’s been roasted at Girl Scout camp! And if that isn’t the perfect sweatshirt for a Girl Scout Leader, I don’t know what is. The best part was when Cheryl started to eat it…but I think I was doubled over laughing so hard I didn’t get that photo.

I would love to tell you that I came up with this idea myself but I cannot tell a lie; I did not. Brenda, aka QBee, designed this deceivingly simple basket and even made a video tutorial that is clear and very easy to follow. Please check out QBee’s Quest, and tell her I sent you. She put the little handle across the narrow portion of the basket, but I switched it to the wide end. It’s cute either way.

Here’s another view:

You could make a bunch of these very quickly, because once you’ve done one you can do oodles. These would be very cute little Easter place card holders, filled with chocolates (aaack! no!!) or an Easter egg on a bed of grass.
