Final Easter crafts

Finally my last Easter craft is done. I'm getting a little burnt out on doing crafts. I still have so many ideas. I want to make my own candle holders, name and established blocks, spring letters. etc. I just don't have the time to do them. I am saving myself a bundle of money though. Not having to buy all my holiday decorations is great. They may not be the greatest looking or the most professional but I like them and they make my home more festive. This wreath that I did is another dollar store craft. I found everything at the dollar store! I just hot glued the Easter grass to the wreath, I used a wicker wreath they had, but I have seen styrofoam wreaths at the dollar store. They didn't have the foam wreath at the one I went to which would have been a lot easier, but I work with what I have. Then I hot glued the little eggs onto the wreath and tied a bow on top. Really, really easy and super cheap. I really wanted to cut out Easter letters but I didn't have the time so I made blocks. Still not sure if I like the letter font I used on this. One day I'll make something else that I really love and then I'll have to give away all my other things that I don't love as much.

I have been toying with the idea of doing a craft blog so I don't have to clutter up my family blog. I just don't know if I would have any success at it. I know I have to link up to other craft blogs to get people to follow and look at my blog, but I don't know how to do it. So once again just another idea I probably won't follow through on.
