Easter Crafting

Hello friends!  After a long week of fighting cold viruses around here, the rejuvenation that spring brings has cheered me up (as well as visiting your festive blogs).  My sweet daughter and I got crafty yesterday, and carried away with pink glitter.  Here are some tiny pink baskets I adorned with white paper roses, book pages and coffee filters.  One filter got the glitter treatment.

I also altered a Parisian-inspired cone I had with a spring touch.  More white roses were placed inside, and the Eiffel Tower image got covered by this round paper adornment.  I 'borrowed' one of my daughter's cute Easter stickers  to affix to the front. 

This cheerful Easter bunny reminds me the sun will shine and the spring rain will cease soon enough:

I'll be linking to White Wednesday to see more cheerful brights!
