Celebrate Summer | A Picnic Lunch.


School has finally let out for Summer vacation around these parts and we're thrilled! We're ready for days at the pool, craft camp, boating on the river and sleeping in.

I like to give the children's teachers something special at the end of the year to thank them for all they do. Last year I put together a few Summer In A Basket kits and was so happy with the teacher's reactions. They loved them! This year I decided to stick with the basket idea and create a First Day of Summer Picnic Lunch.
Each Basket contained:
Izze
Kettle potato chips
A yummy sandwich
Fresh cherries 
Chocolate bar

I also included a paper napkin and used wood excelsior as a basket filler. The baskets were purchased from Hobby Lobby. The kraft ripple cup is from Garnish. 


I think it would be a sweet idea to put a few of these together then deliver them to friends a week from today on June 20th. The official first day of summer here in the northern hemisphere.
Pin It!

  13. Wonderful picnic basket idea. I suggest that if anyone will try to do this, they should buy a very sturdy basket because that bottle is heavy.s

  14. I guess I could also bring this for our camping trip, in addition to the usual food we bring during camp out. Chips will always be a hit, and a wine is surely a great drink on a cold night.
