An Easter Table

You know me, I love an excuse to decorate. Easter is no exception. One of my favorite things about Easter decorating are the bird nests. I am not really sure why I have always been so drawn to nests, but I love them. Maybe it has something to do with the twigs, or maybe its the robin colored eggs. Whats not to love?

I am trying to decide how we should decorate the table for Easter dinner and I love these ideas. I like that they are small and could be used as place settings. Don't you think the kids would love having candy before dinner, waiting at their seat? I would!

teachers gifts

We still have a whole week more of school. So what does this mean? I have a few more days to figure out what to buy the kids school teachers! I am sure they get a lot of really cheesy and lame gifts, and I don't want to be grouped into that category! So I usually stick with gift cards for the movies, or Barnes and Noble. But I am loving these pictures/ ideas!

The first image and idea is from hostessblog.com I love this idea, where can you find the cardboard drink holder? The second image and idea from thecreativemama.com the website also has the tutorial! So clever, but does the recipient have to actually break the jar to get the gift out? That doesn't sound fun. sounds messy, but it is so cute.
