Are you a fan of the colors of spring? They are so bright and cheerful, and full of life! Hi, it’s Maureen today and I will show you a project I made to decorate my mantel. It’s a decoupaged egg sitter using the cheery CutCardStock colors. The fun part of this project is you can…
My kids are older now, but if they were asked, they would admit that egg hunting is still something they love to do. Of course, the baskets and snacks have changed over the years. One thing they like now are more salty snacks – like chips! I created this project with them in mind. Hi…
