First I want to tell you a story. Back when I was a kid in Connecticut one year it snowed on Easter. Needless to say there was no egg hunt outside. But always the clever adults herded all the kids (me and lots of my cousins) into the garage (where the “kid” table was and the fun) for a bit. When we came out we were given a paper bag and let loose in the house to hunt for peanuts. I swear it was so much fun as the decor of my grandparent’s house lent itself to hiding tan peanuts. I bet my grandparent were finding peanuts long after the holiday. This story comes to mind now that many may have to alter their plans this Easter. might I suggest getting a jump on decorating peanuts as an activity making an upcoming indoor hunt a bit more colorful. Over at this blog there are lots of fun painted peanuts like these cat paintings to inspire.

How to make matchbook style packaging for all sorts of tiny things
I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
