Okay, who hasn't snatched up these adorable faux eggs from Target's Dollar Spot? I grabbed three cartons during my last trip and decided to dress them up. Heck, I even painted the carton they came in! I'm not decorating for Easter yet - but I do love bunnies and eggs (must run in the family because my mom and sister, Kathy do too!) and keep them out year-round. I dressed up my eggs using French...
I have a ton of old clipboards lying about the house. Some I've used for other projects and some were just collecting dust. I broke out a couple out over the weekend to upcycle.

I picked up a bunch of these round hat boxes for $1 from our local thrift store last week. I gave my 7 year old one to use for his toys and I started making over this one over the weekend.
