I'm working on a few Easter crafts right now.
Will post some pictures later in the week...

I did the same craft this weekend but used an egg-shaped cookie cutter.
I hope to have those done in the next few days.

Next we're making these later in the week:

How cute are those bunnies!

[Cookgirl]

Easy, too! I picked up a couple washcloths the other day ($1.29 each) and a bag of pastel pompons (Dollar Tree and found in the Easter merchandise aisle). I'll be using scrap ribbon from my stash.
