DIY: Up-cycled Easter Flowers

After all the eggs are hard boiled and ready to by 

dyed for Easter, what do you do with all the left over

egg cartons?

Well if you are me, you actually have a stash 

of egg cartons ready to be up cycled into something crafty.

While perusing Pinterest, 

I found thins great DIY from Homemade Serenity!

Now here's a lady that's on my 

"this could be useful for crafting" hoarding wave length.

Instead of following her explicit directions to make a 

wreath, the boy and I decided 

to make a little something pretty 

for his sweet little neighbor girl friend, Lily.

I am just loving seeing all the detail that he took the time

to put into these cute flowers.

It was also really cute listening to him talk about

how important it is to give girls flowers.

My little gentleman in training! 

the boys collection

There is something about a boy and his cars.

It doesn't matter that you only have two hands to play with,

you need an infinite amount of hot wheels.

So we made use of that huge collection.

The boy and I sorted them all by color.

We placed them all in rows.

We counted how many we have of each color.

We put them in order from least to most.

And we photographed them all.
