Great Idea for Easter Egg Hunts...

It's the day after Easter and speaking to my neighborhood gal pals, one told me what she did with her girls. Sheer genius... You know. One of those "why didn't I think of that" kind of moments! With money being kind of tight, we have been looking for creative ways to do what we normally would've done. She began to describe what she put into her girls Easter Eggs... Coupons for special things like a pass for the front seat, doughnuts one morning for breakfast, one on one time with a parent, I mean the list went on and on. How simple yet so much more meaningful than candy that just might lead to a trip to the dentist!
What a wonderful idea!!! Just wanted to share it....

Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
