neighborly rite of spring back!

Very simple and fun besides: just gather fresh blooms from your spring garden, insert them into a glass or small vase of water in a charming little basket and add a bit of ribbon. The tradition when I was growing up was for children to place them on a neighbor's door, ring the bell and run away as fast as you could so you weren't caught. Hiding in nearby bushes to see the recipient's surprised expression was half the fun. Try this fun little activity with your children or on your own, or place a May Basket on your own door to officially welcome spring.

soil and some hanging baskets are what you need to complete it.

this together from start to finish. If you want to do it yourself then I would suggest staining the wood prior to piecing them on the board. I drew out the design beforehand and proceeded not to follow it at all. haha! The only reason I label this on moderate difficulty is because power tools are required to cut the wood, unless you want to miter box all the pieces.

you are all set. Glue those bad boys on and you can be posting up cute water colorings too. ;) haha!
