Easter celebrations

Easter has come to my seasonal tree now, and the multitude of eggs have arrived!  I do like this time of year when the clocks go forward and the light is with us for longer.  If we get a bit of sunshine, it's even better!
 I baked some biscuits in the shape of chicks and rabbits.
 I also received my Easter swap from Amanda at Graham's Landing.  The swap was organised by Kimberley at Creative Chaos  and was another lovely swap to be part of.  Amanda had wrapped the parcels in pretty pastel tissue paper.
 Here's what was inside:  rabbit chocolates, pastel ribbon, Easter stickers, Easter chicks, egg decorations, eggs in nests, a Happy Easter decoration and a knitted chick.
 The knitted chick was really sweet...
 ...and it also held rather a yummy surprise!
 Here's what I sent to Amanda: cupcake cases and decorations, mini eggs, Easter cutters, cosmos seeds, ribbon, a chick decoration and a felt decoration with some jewellery (of course!).  A Huge Thank You to Amanda for her generosity and for being such a great swap partner and thanks also to Kimberley for organising the swap.
I think this says it all - for those who celebrate it, have a very Happy Easter.
