Not that this craft takes six years to make, it’s actually more of a 10 minute project, really, but I actually made this Easter topiary six years ago!

And there was a lot of time.So things like the wall paneling, multiple colors of peel n stick tile, and terrible paint colors, were all perfectly lovely at one time, I’m sure.. Here’s one spot where I’ve pulled up the peel n stick tile off the hardwood and then haven’t done anything about it since.

Who needs 30 of those?.Well, today I have one.

I’m definitely in the boat of people who need at least 30 activity ideas though for this Summer.The good news is that if you have the garden that goes along with these garden markers, you can find tons of activities to keep little hands busy in there.
