Happy May Day!

Did you get a May Day basket today?  I saw a friend post on Facebook today that it's too bad we don't still give May Day baskets.  Why not do it if you like that tradition?!  

Stampin' Up! came out with a berry basket die this year so I immediately got it knowing that I'd use it for various things for years to come.  All you do is put two sheets of card stock on the die and run it through the Big Shot and all the pieces (6) to make the basket, trim and handle are cut out in less than a minute.  (if you'd like to have one too, go to my web site - top right) Let me know if you have any questions. 

This first green one I dropped off on our neighbors' door this morning.  They have a daughter so want her to have memories of receiving May Day baskets.  The pink one is for Diane and girls.  I hope I can get it to their door before they get home from school, but if not, I'll do the ring the doorbell and go delivery.

We got a tenth of an inch of rain late morning which stopped our operation but the wind has been blowing and Bill and Tim think we can get going again now.  So I'll have to do the quick basket delivery and get back to the tractor.  We're close to being done planting corn.  Then we'll start beans but lots of rain in next week's forecast.

These are so quick and fun to do that I need to make up about 10 to have ready to give to several people next year!
