  1. This is adorable. I thought I had already commented on this but do not see it. What I like is that it is a perfect size for a few jelly beans, a Hershey's Miniature, and a marshmallow bunny. AND, it is SO easy to do. I can see myself also doing these during the year in appropriate colors for other holidays. They's make great "favor" baskets, too.

    I am blogging about your website tonight. I'll come back and leave the link.
    Hugs and prayers

  2. Ok, I did blog about your site. I just had to share it. I also posted the photo of your little basket - I meant to ask first, but I hope you do not mind. I gave full credit for coming from your site, and I linked to your site.
    Here's the post:
