Easy and Quick Last Minute Easter Favors

Spring/Easter makes me feel like everything's new and fresh.

That's why I like to send my guests home from Easter Dinner with a plant.

It just seems right to me.

''To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow''

So this year when my mind went to plants,

my pocketbook didn't follow.

I needed to think up a way to put together something inexpensive

so I could continue with my tradition.

I was at Walmart (what the heck would I do without that store?)

 perusing the garden section when I saw they had 6 packs on sale.

I grabbed a couple of Petunias 

and headed inside to find peat pots.

Once I got home I gave each peat pot a paint job in various Eastery colors.

While waiting for them to dry,
 I hopped on the computer to check out my Graphics.

Printed out some Easter Graphics

and once the pots were dry, glued them on

The next day I transplanted the Petunias into their own peat pots.

I tore a coffee filter up and placed a piece in the bottom of each pot to prevent the dirt from coming out but still allowing for complete drainage.

There ya go!

A buck a 6 pack, peat pots $1.59,

12 plant favors for under $4.00 ♥♥

And since the Petunias are in the peat pots,

the whole pot can go right into the ground.

Easy peasy for my guests too!

All ready for Easter Sunday ☺
