I love the Easter holidays. Christmas is but a distant memory and we’re all enjoying the longer days despite the relentless rain. I know that we traditionally have bad weather over a Bank Holiday but please, we could really do with some dry days! Subway challenged us to enjoy a day out over the holidays…
We were recently sent a bundle of Duck Tape to craft with. There are some gorgeous colours which are perfect for Springtime crafting. Last week we decorated some plastic eggs with Duck Tape washi tape to make a cute Easter display which just happened to double up as a fun Easter toss game, too. We…
