May Day Smiles

At craft day last week, Shawn and Bethany worked on May Day Baskets for Bethany's teachers. This is where I wish I had taken some pictures--the baskets were adorable, all bright and cheery.


However, I can share with you this picture of some of the flowers. Bethany is quite the little crafter and is very generous with her creations on craft days and I was delighted to receive a bouquet of her sweet flowers! They're such a lovely addition to my craft room and they make me S*M*I*L*E!!!

Do you remember May Day baskets when you were growing up? What a fun tradition. My favorite memories of May Day baskets are from the days when my daughters were little and would hang a basket on our doorknob, ring the doorbell and then quickly hide so I wouldn't know it was from them! Aawwhhh, I'm *s*m*i*l*i*n*g* again :-)

Wishing you a Happy May Day!

I remember them too. One of my favorite memories is when my dautghters, then about age 3 and 9, made May Day baskets in Sunday School and then the classes went and delivered them to the nursing home. I was the church bus driver, I got to see them all as they boarded. It was such fun and the many "grandma's and grandpa's" loved the visitors and the baskets.

... sad, but at work yesterday I kept saying, "Happy May Day" ... more often than not, I was met with a blank stare ... *sighs*
