Happy Easter...


Hope you're all having a wonderful Easter sunday - Matt and I spent the weekend back at home in the country, we took a drive out this afternoon cruising through little villages, stopping off to take silly photos (Matt got me to "pretend" to fall in a river, this photo did not make the final cut much to his disapointment) and checking out the views.  The photo above is of the Black Mountains in the distance taken close to my family home, crazy to see the snow still on the tops of the mountains so close to April. I was just thinking it takes quick snaps like this to make me realise how lucky I am to have been brought up in such a beautiful place. Feeling thankful.

How have you guys spent your Easter? I'd love to know...

An easter gift idea...

With Easter weekend just over a week away I thought I'd share with you a little idea for an alternative gift for the celebrations. This gift idea makes for a great token gesture if your going over to someones house for Easter or if you want to give a friend or family member something other than a great big calorific chocolate egg. Take a look...



I picked up this clippy jar from IKEA - they're super cheap, getting slightly more expensive depending on size, so pick a size that suits what you'd like to put in it. To go inside the jar I found these crafting tapes at The Range and thought they'd make a perfect little gift for Easter, as they're pretty and fun to play around with. I especially love the travel themed set, will definitely be popping back to get some for myself.


To add a sprinkle of Easter I picked up these colourful mini eggs from the supermarket, they were really affordable and make the perfect base to place the crafting tapes on top padding the gift out a bit and making it a little more festive.



After you've added all your goodies seal the jar up then add a tag to write a message on and you're good to go. So, just a really simple idea that can be adapted to any occasion, just switch up what's inside. 

What are you guys doing for Easter? Do you have any gift ideas? I'd love to know...
