FUN EASTER TREAT

Here is a fun idea for an Easter treat.

I actually saw this idea on a blog a week or so ago but I have searched and searched for it and cannot for the life of me remember where it was.  So if you know who it is please let me know so I can give proper credit

I crushed up some bite sized Shredded Wheat and stirred it into some melted Hershey's chocolate bars.  I then took a small ice cream scoop (my scoop was purchased from Pampered Chef) and dropped them on parchment paper. Then I pressed a spoon to create an indentation for the eggs.  Very simple.

We will be doing our family Easter egg hunt and dinner tomorrow.  I can't wait to see all of the grand kids running around collecting the eggs.

Easter Decor

I was reminded by someone (you know who you are) that I haven't posted in almost a week and that I am to provide at least some sort of entertainment for said person.

Also to confirm that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth I thought I would throw up this quick post.

My oldest daughter made (well anyway, she attempted to make one then I butted in and did it for her) a cute Easter canvas. When my youngest daughter saw it she wanted to know where hers was.  So being the guilt ridden nice mother that I am I made one for her too.

I am not sure if you can see it but it is covered in a layer of glitter.  It was just the touch it needed.

Happy Easter!

BUNNIES NEED CARROTS

Carrots

That is what the orange fabric was all about.

I was inspired by a post that Brenda did over at Deck The Halls of Home With Joy.

She refers to the Idea Room for the tutorial.  The only thing I did differently was when I inserted the greenery in the top of the carrot I just wrapped a thin ribbon around it and drew it up tight and tied it.  No pulling a ribbon or making a hem.

Linking up with the Easter Linky Party at Someday Crafts.

HOP ON OVER

For some Easter fun, that is.  I actually used the vinyl that I cut with my Silhouette as a stencil to create these cutsie blocks.
Adding the glitter was the crowning touch, it just made them sparkle, (duh, glitter does actually sparkle, I just couldn't come up with a good adjective to describe how cute the glitter made them).

Here you can see the beige vinyl I used as the stencil.  I then painted the areas the colors I wanted and let it dry.

 Then I just peeled up the vinyl.

 It actually peeled up pretty well.

 I love how crisp the lines are. 

After I got all of the vinyl peeled I just painted Elmers Glue-All glue onto the designs and sprinkled with crystal fine glitter by Martha Stewart.

These photo's do not do these justice.  They are so stinkin' cute.

Thanks Shannon for the inspiration.

I'VE GOT EGG ON MY FACE...

...And on my lips,

 and over my tongue,

and in my teeth, 

and down my throat,

and 'splashing' into my stomach,

AND FOREVER ON MY HIPS AND THIGHS.

But Man O Man are these eggs GOOD!

I'm just sayin'!
