Here's a virtual Hershey's Easter Basket egg for you.
This Easter season, Hershey’s has promised to donate $10 for every blog post written where a Virtual Easter Basket is shared to someone. They will donate up to $7000 to the Children’s Miracle Network.  A non-profit organization founded by Marie Osmond, her family, and others, in the hopes of helping as many children as possible.
 
Li shared this, and now i'm sharing these lovely virtual yellow and blue eggs with yummy sweet treats inside to everyone who reads this post.  I know it's a bit late but if you still have the time, please pass this on to as many people as you like. It’s open until 12PM EST April 4th (that's today!). There are 530+ posts up right now, we still need 150+.
 
How can you join? It’s simple:
  • Participate to HERSHEY’S Better Basket Blog Hop of giving away virtual Easter Baskets by creating a blog post with specific rules described here.
  • HERSHEY’S will donate $7,000 for CMN
  • You can give as many virtual Easter baskets as you want.
  • The HERSHEY’S Better Basket Blog Hop will officially begin at 12 AM EST on March 18th and end at 12 PM EST on April 4th, 2010. Blog posts submitted to us before or after that time period will not be counted for.

easter-rific

my girls are hunting for eggs...
{do you see a pink flower?}
yay! they found one!
and they are very curious...
{oops, there's that pink flower again
and did you notice? my little ones are wearing pink! how fun!}
seriously, they are real eggs from the hen inside.
we were supposed to have 10
but 2 were taken by the puppy
and the other 1 mysteriously disappeared. tsk, tsk...
so, we are waiting for the arrival of 7 chicks! yay!
the kids are thrilled! and so am i.:D

and, and... can i just brag a little?
the clothes on my little girl with pony tail were sewn by mama.
the pink top was made from a scrap fabric. really easy to make.
a rectangle fabric, elastic, and a strap and you are done!

shorts was made from the lower part of dad's pants that i cut short.
i used pink thread of course, wink ;o!

oops...i made a booboo out there!
i accidentally closed the pocket and had to rip! sigh...
oh! do you see my pink buddy?

and the finished product...
worn by my little miss.
  Happy Pink Saturday!
Please visit Bev over at  How Sweet the Sound for more pink goodies.

my creative space

my first. hopefully not the last.
to start off, i'd like to show my very own "creative space"
- er... my organized mess.

left side...
right side...
behind the door...
floor on the kids' side of the room...
under the table on the kids' side

this is my creative space - my organized mess - my sanctuary.

Please visit  Kirsty to play along.

design your own fabric

i just discovered a site where you can design your own fabric. spoonflower makes it possible for you to design, print, and sell your own fabric design. how cool is that? now, i wish i know how to draw so i could create wonderful designs to my liking.
