Easter Crafts for the family

Materials

• 14 plastic pull-apart eggs
• Puffy paint
• Egg cartons
• 2 large heavy-duty paper plates

• Scissors
• Glue
• Green craft foam
• Twist ties

Instructions

1. First, decorate 14 plastic pull-apart eggs with puffy paint and let them dry. (Overturned egg cartons make great workstations and drying racks; just set each egg half over a carton cup bottom.)
   
2. Cut the rims from the paper plates and glue them together. Glue green craft foam leaves around the ring, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them.
   
3. To attach the eggs, tightly wrap twist ties (one for each egg) between the leaves around the paper plate ring, then simply close the egg halves together over the ties.
   

Materials

• Shallow, handleless basket with a wide mouth
• Clear vinyl saucer
• Potting soil
• Ryegrass seed
• Water
• Undyed hard-boiled eggs

• Bunny cookies
• Animal figurines
• Chocolate eggs
• Brown paper bag
• Scissors
• Rafia

Instructions

1. Fill a clear vinyl saucer with potting soil, sprinkle on a layer of ryegrass seed, cover with a very thin layer of soil, and spritz with water.
   
2. Keep in a sunny window and spritz daily. It will take 10 days for the grass to reach a few inches high.
   
3. Place the saucer into the basket.
   
4. Top the grass with undyed hard-boiled eggs, bunny cookies, animal figurines, and chocolate bunnies.
   
5. Create a tag for your basket by cutting out a leaf shape from a brown paper bag.
   
6. Tie it on with a raffia bow.

Focus Your Time and Money
Work for the Love of It

Productivity is the science of creating the best with the most efficient effort. You do that when you're engaged in working at what you love. You're more productive every minute, and you don't put time limits on it because you're enjoying it so much - as opposed to procrastinating through work you don't enjoy.

So why not do what you love all the time?

1) Delegate Duties: If you eliminate the things you're not good at and focus on where your special talents lie, you can boost your income.

2) Find It. Go on a quest to find out what you love to do. Once you have the answer, the law of attraction - thinking about it and researching it - will lead you to how you can make money doing it.

3) Spell it out: Everybody knows if you write your goals down, you have a greater chance of achieving them.

4) Know your industry: Study the field you're interested in. Nurture curiosity by asking yourself where the industry is broken and how you can fix it.
