easterHere is a little from my Target “After Easter” Shopping trip — most was 50% off.

Some will go to the birthday gift storage area and of course I will save some for our reward bin!

The cookie cutters, frosting and sprinkles will be great for spring/summer events.

I love After-Holiday shopping, :-) .
