Happy Easter!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!

Cupcake Saturday!

It's time for another Cupcake Saturday! I know, I know. We've been doing a really bad job of keeping our blog updated lately. Hopefully, with spring break this week, we will be able to do a better job of posting our projects. But since today is Saturday, here are our Easter cupcakes.

 These cute little chicks will brighten up any Easter dinner table, and they're really easy to make, too! They are topped with yellow-dyed coconut with chocolate chip eyes. The beaks are Starburst, flattened and cut into triangles, stuck into the cupcakes. They can be made with any flavor you'd like, which is great.

We dressed the table up by putting the cupcakes into a wreath form that had been wrapped in fuzzy green yarn, and then plastic eggs placed around. I think it makes a really cute table decoration.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Decor

Today's project is one of those "let me catch up on past seasons of tv shows" projects. It's a little time consuming, but definitely worth it!

We usually use Styrofoam wreath forms, but for this one, used a wire form. And about 3 rolls of tulle. We cut the tulle at 6 inches and knotted them around three of the rings on the form. You probably don't need to use that much, but I like the really full look. We then used some coordinating ribbon on the last ring. Finally, we knotted ribbon through the eggs and tied them around. It doesn't look like it in the picture, but it is one extra-poofy wreath. It takes up about half of our front door!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday, and are spending some time with family. Today’s project wishes you a “Happy Easter”. When you first look at it, it looks kind of silly, but there are parts to it that look really cute. My favorite part would have to be the little lamb. I quilled his body, so it looks like his little curls.  I was going to do a chick, but decided against it. That would have made more sense, now that I see it all done. So, yes, the little guy is just hanging out in mid-air. Anyway, the tag moves back and forth, which would have also made more sense with a chick. Oh well, I still think it’s a cute card!

Cupcake Saturday!

Welcome to another weekend! That means it’s another Cupcake Saturday here. As most people know, tomorrow is Easter Sunday. When we think of Easter, we think of bunnies, eggs, and carrot cake. OK, so maybe the carrot cake isn’t the first thought, but it’s a flavor that reminds us of this time of year. We’re usually not huge fans of carrot cake, but we thought we’d give it a try. Boy, weren’t we surprised! These cupcakes are actually really good and surprisingly tasty! We put A LOT of shredded carrots in the batter. So, it counts as a serving of vegetables, right?! It also makes the cake super moist. We topped them with a cream cheese frosting, and a little carrot medallion. Good enough for the Easter bunny!!

It's Finally Spring!

After a super-long winter, it's finally spring! After spending our vacation doing some heavy-duty spring cleaning, we were able to sit down and work on some new projects. Most of these were cards. Seeing as yesterday was Easter, and I had all intentions of posting this card yesterday, here are some pictures of our card.

Who's hiding in there?!

Peek-a-boo! The Easter bunny, that's who!

Sorry, lame, I know! Anyway, there are more to ome, but I'll save those for later this week! Now I get to spend the night planning our road trip and thinking of ways to get through the next two months of school!!
