This little Easter Picnic Basket was so easy to make and a great gift.  Papers are called 'Celebrate! with Jack & Jill Collection, "Happy Easter Jill" '.

My New Making Memories Carousel


Here is my latest asset to my crafting table.  One of my dear ladies Jean Thomas passed away a few weeks ago and I purchased this from her husband so that I think of her every day that I am crafting.  I have decorated it with RUB ONS from CRAFTY STICKERS website.  They are really good quality rub ons, very often they are a devil to get onto your project but these are easy peasy.  They were on sale at the Crop on Saturday for only 50p per sheet and you do get a lot on a sheet.

I do hope that Jean would approve of my decorations.
