    I'd almost forgotten about some of these........bit late for me now as I've done them.
    Grandson is having a pale blue flannel bunny with a little box of mini eggs inside -I've done it like the flannel reindeer ones and it fits lovely inside a cappacino box I've covered in Easter paper.
    Teenage grandkids are having a little bit of money..........run out of ideas of what to get them and they're having driving lessons now so appreciate a bit of cash.
    Their dad's having a Noddy egg cup (used to have one when he was little) with a cream egg in and his girlfriends having a chocolate scented candle
    Other son is having Big Ears egg cup (also like one he had when he was little) and his girlfriend is having a box of decorated eggs I've put in a green egg box
    Foster daughter is having egg box of bath bombs that I picked up from charity shop.
    So, I'm sorted.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Giggle - thanks. Haven't got a poundland here -got tes - cos but it's not a good one and never seems to have anything I want. Still, might be worth a look. If they've got some it won't be too late for this year.

    arty - oh to have such nimble fingers............just looked at your blog............some lovely things.......well done:T

    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    and thanks to searching for Giggle's bunny broth poem, I've finally tracked down the easter 'flannel chicks' .... :T:T:T
    Must remember to buy some cadbury's cream eggs to go in their belly's.
