Welcome Friends!

Sending you all a bouquet of beautiful flowers to CREATE for your dining room table!
Start with a large-mouth clear cookie jar or canister and place a clear drinking glass in the center. Gently stack dyed, hard-cooked eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Fill the glass with water. Cut the stems of your favorite flowers (we used roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinth, and bells of Ireland) to the desired length, and arrange them in the glass. Inspired by BHG
(You can find the large clear glass cookie jars at Walmart and Hobby Lobby).

A few SPRING projects from my HOME to yours~ WELCOME SPRING!

Easter Bunny Topiary

Hello Friends!

How CUTE is this? Let's make one! A great tutorial is found HERE from Less-Than-Perfect Life of Bliss.

I may not get to it until next year, but I will know where to find it! Someday, I would like to have a big party of crafting all day at my house enjoying the beautiful sunshine outdoors, along with Easter peeps, Jordan almonds, cupcakes and a large Pepsi!

Wishing you all a happy, productive and sweet spring break!

Bunny Face Cupcakes

Ingredients
1 12-oz. can vanilla frosting
12 cupcakes, any flavor
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, chopped in food processor
1/4 cup pink decorating sugar
12 marshmallows
24 thin pretzel sticks
12 mini marshmallows
24 brown M&M's minis
12 pink heart candies, such as Runts
6 black licorice laces
Preparation
1. Spoon 2 Tbsp. vanilla frosting into a small ziplock bag. Frost cupcakes with remaining vanilla frosting. Roll tops of frosted cupcakes in coconut to cover.

2. Place pink sugar in a small bowl. Using scissors, cut large marshmallows in half crosswise. Press cut side of each marshmallow into pink sugar to make ears. Insert a pretzel stick into 1 short end of a marshmallow ear. Insert pretzel-stick end into cupcake to make ear stand up. Repeat with another pretzel and marshmallow ear; place second marshmallow ear next to first. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and pretzels, placing 2 ears on each cupcake.

3. Snip a small corner from ziplock bag with vanilla frosting. Using scissors, cut mini marshmallows in half crosswise to make cheeks. Pipe small dots of frosting and attach the mini M&M eyes, heart-candy nose and cheeks. Cut licorice into 1 1/2-inch pieces and insert as whiskers. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
