A decoration for TWO holidays!

I know!  I'm late!  I really don't like any holiday decorations after the fact, but I multi-purposed with this little decoration.  I saw this tutorial for photo blocks at How Does She and decided to make it work for 2 holidays! 
I made this side of the blocks for St. Patrick's Day with some green ribbon and glittery shamrocks.  **So I had 2 mini clothes pin all set for this project, and when I went to take pictures, they came up missing!!  So I just taped on pictures temporarily for these pictures.**  I have plenty of room for more kiddos as they come... for now, I just used a couple pictures of my precious little guy.
I decorated the opposite side of the 2 x 4 and blocks so it would work for Easter.  Don't you love the happy flowers for spring?!  All I have to do is flip everything around and voila!  I have a decoration for two holidays!!  I love multi-purposing!
