Easter door decoration

This idea for this decoration was completely stolen from a post on Elaine's blog, Northern Hi-lights.  


The stick was easy to come by because, like all mothers of small boys, I have a considerable collection just outside the front door.  Sticks are, after all, essential equipment for dragging along railings, poking older siblings and jamming the front wheels of the buggy.


The chicks I bought ages ago having learned from experience that if you don't buy these tiny, multi-coloured and slightly sinister looking chicks the moment you see them there won't be any left by Easter.  The reason they look so bedraggled is that when they haven't been driving convertibles, they've spent the best part of their time living under a bed in a clearly labelled and dated freezer bag.  I think sometimes it's just best not to ask.

  4. Sigh. I know. I went to Michael's the other day to grab a box o' chicks. Gone. I was hoping to stick them inside our plastic eggs for our Easter egg hunt here at home for my two. I don't want to overload them with candy!

    Love your door decoration. Sometimes the easy projects are the best projects!

  7. That made me giggle, a bag of labeled chicks under the bed. I think Im the only person in the world that is scared of those fluffy chicks you see all over the place as this time of year, they are really weird looking, I think it's their beady little eyes :)
