Thinking Spring!

This is a cute picnic basket that I saw on Pinterest and had to make it!  The paper is from Anna Griffin's collection and is so pretty.  It makes a pretty picnic basket.  I love purple! I'm going to add some pretty flowers to the sides of the handle.  Below are some more pictures from different angles. It is a good size basket measuring 7 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2 inches deep.  It will hold a lot  of stuff.
Both sides open
Here is the tutorial to make this cute basket.  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/34832597107599654/
I made this basket the week before my husband, daughter and I left for Palm Springs.  Here are a few pictures of our trip. Everyday was in the 70's and our last 2 days did hit 80.  We took the tram up to Mount San Jacinto, visited Joshua Tree National Park and went up to Coachella Valley Vista Point for a view of Palm Springs area.  At Joshua Tree we saw part of the San Andreas fault and the rock formations were spectacular!!  I wouldn't want to be there in the summer, the Visitor's Center said it can reach as much as 124 degrees! Yikes!!!  After staying for a week in Palm Springs, I can see how it is a popular place for vacations in California!!  If you get a chance, go!!! Always glad to get home, though!!
