I cannot thank you enough for your encouraging words and guidance in convincing me to take the plunge into the world of Macintosh. I am so happy I did! I love my new computer, though, I am still getting used to the new set up and how things work. This photo is awful, but it was late in the day when I took it and just wanted to let you know that I am so thankful to all of you for sharing your stories with me regarding the switch from PC. And, not only did I get a Mac, but I got an iPhone too. I am having so much fun with the apps and the games, etc. I feel like I have entered a new world.
I am thrilled to be back to the world of blogging and with Easter just around the corner, I have been busy making gifts for the boys' teachers. I thought I'd share them with you. I know it is probably too late for this year, but perhaps it will be useful to someone even for another holiday.
I made a little fabric basket and filled it with sponge candy and a chocolate novelty item from my favorite candy shoppe.
I used this tutorial to make the fabric basket. Here is the basket alone, so you can get a better look at it. They are really easy to make and can be used for so many different things. I have made several (in varying sizes) for my house already and I have used them in my office to hold supplies, etc. and the boys have been using them to hold some of their toys.
And the gift tag was made using a new Easter punch by Martha Stewart. I just adore all of her punches and this one is perfect for a little Easter card, gift tag, etc.
Thank you again for all of your help. Now, I can return to blogging regularly and keeping in touch with everyone!
These are gorgeous Melissa, I can't get the link to the basket to work could you send it to me please, it is lovely! Have a Happy Easter!

Congrats & Welcome Back! I can't wait until July when my current service contract expires so that I can get my new iPhone. Oh, think of the fun you'll have!

Wow, even a wireless keyboard. We have the wireless mouse, but not the keyboard yet. Love all things, Mac, thanks to my dear, dear husband. And, the iPhone is the first phone I don't have to ask my 18-year old how to use. My 4-and 6-year olds even know how to get to the movies, photos and games! You will continue to enjoy having this wonderful piece of technology on your desk each day! Enjoy!
