One thing I definitely missed while living in Europe was the easy access to a multitude of fun, CHEAP craft supplies. To that end I'm now the proud owner of my own glue gun. The smell, the singed finger tips, the stringy goop all over - I love it. I made easter egg bunnies holding a little playdough as a special little gift for Analise and Eli's friends . . .
Our spring crafts . . . the tulips, caterpillar, and ladybugs are made out of egg cartons. Analise painted them and helped poke pipe cleaners. I manned the glue gun (heh, heh, heh)
googly eyes just make everything better . . .
These little bean bags were supposed to be for Easter baskets, but I couldn't hold back and gave them early
One thing I miss about Europe was the understated simplicity of decorating. No glue gun (etc.) meant more "creative" and cheap decorating. And cheap fresh flowers never hurt either.

The tapping shoes may remind you of your mom, but the crafts definitely remind us of our Sarah! What a crew you have on your Easter plate.
