Easter gift tags & memories

03.18.17

The Easter printable I promised, two varieties of some Easter gift tags that you can print on cardstock, cut, & attach to a cute gift!
Easter gift tags

First…

I used to love Easter as a child and when my kiddos were small.  Kinda like Christmas, Easter to me just isn’t as fun when you don’t have little ones running amok! Right?

One of my favorite Easter memories were making cascarones (confetti eggs), with my sisters.  My mom for months, would start carefully shaking out the contents of each egg through a tiny hole so that we could wash, color, and fill each one.

Of course, today you can run to HEB and get a dozen already made but trust me… you won’t be making any wonderful memories like ours unless you’ve payed your cascarone dues in a family as large as mine!  OH NO ma’am!

We did the full-blown coloring of each egg with Crayola crayons til we ran out of design ideas and then it was just scribbles and wavy lines.  Then we made our own confetti from colored construction paper.  Sheesh!!!

The sores we’d have from the scissors and then cutting tiny squares and circles of colored tissue paper to cover each one in.  Aye-aye-aye!!!  We made hundreds of them!!!  No Joke!  We had to, we’re a big family.

Looking back now, I consider myself a pretty lazy person in comparison to the initial effort and work it would take to do anything creative growing up. Now it’s buy it or run to Hobby Lobby and have so many options at your disposal that will make craft making so much easier.  But I’m old-school and still think the more creative and hands on you can make something out of, the better!  I have my momma to thank for allowing us to watch and learn from the best.

After we had ‘em finished, we would help momma with cooking or shopping so that on Easter we could pack up the cars and head to the park for our Easter egg hunt, bbq, and cascarone fights.  (If you’re Latina, you know what I’m talking about!)  We then literally spent the entire day at the park, eating, playing and making precious memories!

I haven’t made those cascarones since my kiddos were little but hopefully I’ll get to help my daughter with the tradition for her little wolf pack down the road!

The best memories I remember with my own kids were coloring the eggs and then the bunny cake we used to make together.

And everyone got an Easter basket.  Even the spouse!  His favorite was a giant chocolate bunny.

That was the inspiration for these cute Easter gift tags that have both the colored eggs and a chocolate bunny on them!

Here are some pictures so that you can get an idea of what they will look like.  I used the longer “to/from” tag as a topper for a clear 4 x 6 cellophane bag.

Tie the other one onto whatever gift you want to give.  I found this cute ceramic fruit basket at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $2 and placed one of my homemade jellies in it. A little baker’s twine to tie it all together!

Another idea is to fill some plastic eggs with some cute fillers like this one I found on Pinterest.

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock maybe ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.

And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
