I want to wish She Knows Parties readers a Happy Easter! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter! We had a really wonderful day filled with family and fun. It was a beautiful Spring day here, so we got outside and played a couple games of Corn Hole at our Easter family dinner.

I like how she uses the stamps to add patterns to the tissue paper before she decoupages the eggs. This would make a fun project for the kids to help you with, if you’re feeling brave.

At home I added an old flower pot, some floral Styrofoam, paper Easter grass from last year, some Robin’s Egg Candy, and some acrylic paints and brushes I had in my craft drawers.
I painted the flower pot a …read more
