Whoopee! The sun is shining and it seems we'll be having a warm and sunny weekend. Perhaps the Ark will be able to find dry land and we will be able to disembark. :0) Poor old Britain, we really seem to have had a hammering this year as far as the weather is concerned.
So.... as it looks as though Spring might be heading our way, and Easter is fast approaching, I thought I would share this fun Easter box - ideal for creme eggs and other goodies.
Now before we go any further I think I ought to explain why I have a box with a scowling bunny.
Are we the only country to have hot cross buns at Easter? (They are a fruit bun with a cross marked on the top which we toast and are traditionally eaten on Good Friday to commemorate the crucifixion) When they come into the shops you know that Easter is on the way bringing with it Summer and some warm weather - can't wait!
I digress - As to how I came up with this stunning Easter bunny box idea -
The other day we were reading a story about a bunny who got stuck in a hole in a tree trunk, and he was a ...... hot cross bunny .... and my little butterfly brain suddenly had a lightbulb moment and I thought - how about a Hot Cross 'Bun'ny Box for the Tiddlers Easter eggs. It's cute and you don't get too much sugar overload, always a problem on Easter Sunday. Tiddlers tearing round like mad things on a sugar high is never a good thing when you have a house full of people!
So off I went to the trusty computer and came up with this.
The file is downloadable, printable and very easy to put together. You get two on a sheet of A4 card (preferably photo paper) and the only other thing you need is some glue.
If you want to have a go the link to the file is below, then right click and 'save as'
If you download it please leave a comment or send me a photo of your creation. I'd love to hear from you.

I must admit my little Hot Cross Bunny might not be everyone's cup of tea, so I'll be adding a happier, sunnier bunny box in the near future. Stay tuned!
