Easter Treat boxes

"Mum are we still getting Easter eggs this year?" my fourteen year old asked anxiously a couple of days ago. He was probably recalling the 'faux pas' I made at Christmas when I wrongly assumed he wouldn't want a stocking hanging up (The decision came out of necessity as I couldn't find one of the stockings). I just smiled knowingly, I think he was forgetting he has a chocolate fiend for a mother. Anyway little did he know that I had a cunning plan up my sleeve.

I know both of the boys are suckers for these...............

But they needed a home, so I made these little treat boxes.

Looking a bit empty...

Lets fill them up....

Having boys, I tried to make them a little bit more masculine through my choice of colour for the card stock and designer paper with a geometric pattern and I used linen thread rather than ribbon.  I really liked the higgledy piggledy lettering of the sentiment.

  I know that when they receive them I'll get a wry little smile from each of them meaning "Mum's been crafting again", but deep down I know they'll appreciate them.

Happy Easter!

I have had a lovely couple of days picnicing by a lake and the most splendid bike ride yesterday both in glorious 'summer' sunshine and as someone commented.  "All of this and it hasn't even cost us a penny".
Hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather and thank you for all of your lovely comments, it really does make my day.
