Kara: "Hey, Darcy don't you just love the package you received in the mail?"

Darcy: "Why, yes indeed do-da yippe yay!"

Kara: "Are you just tickled pink?"

Darcy: "I'm just flabbergasted"!

{When Ruth of The Beautiful Life left a comment about having another pair of

scissors like the ones Kara found---Darcy sighed and said she would love a pair}

{unknown to Darcy, Ruth e-mailed and said she would send them

to Darcy as a gift! Kara kept this from Darcy}

"Done!" e-mailed Ruth

Happy May Day Baskets {endeavors}

{Endeavors}

Making May Day Baskets!

Make petite banner flags and fasten around

a decorative toothpick.

We used pink & white banners from Martha Stewart.

We picked up these sweet petite baskets from the $1.00 spot

at Target. We bought extra to use in organization as well.

Fill with shred add a sweet ribbon for a handle.

We used our number ribbon for the "1st of May"!

Use a decorative paper punch and punch two designs out.

Put the wrong sides together. Add a brad near the top of medallion, we used our petite diamond brad.

Now you have a card-like tag. Open.......

Add a second banner and use a corsage pin and poke through.....

Write a sentiment of your choice on banner.

Turn over and secure pin we used tiny vintage style tape to keep pin

from poking your recipients fingers!

Use a tiny hole punch to punch through medallion and

tie with twine through hole onto front of basket.

Put fresh flowers into basket, we used fragrant Viburnum.

Lilly- of- the -Valley would be lovely too......

Stick the banner into flowers.

{We tied a ribbon around toothpick and stamped

a hand holding a bird onto banner......

Ready to tuck on a special friend's doorknob,

now quick hurry away, don't let them see you!

The hand that gives is always blessed........

Happy May Day to all our friends!
