Happy Easter!


Happy Easter!
Hoping today finds you walking in freedom, joy, and the authority of the risen Christ today and everyday knowing that His life in you in is greater than anything that comes against you. 
How cute are these bunny cupcakes?
To get started I found this package of Lindt candies at Costco for $9.97
their are 51 pieces in the package which is a lot of candy! 


Start by making some chocolate cupcakes, let them
cool. You can buy or make your own chocolate
frosting.  Once cooled, frost and set aside. 
Get some graham cracker crumbs, put them in a ziploc bag
and add green food coloring.  Shake the bag around
to cover the crumbs til you get the desired color of green
you'd like. 


You want to get the color of moss the best you can.
Once achieved, roll the top of your frosted cupcakes into the 
crumbs to coat.
Unwrap your chocolate bunnies and insert a toothpick through the
bottom, push into the top of the cupcake. 


You'll find these are very easy to make.
Now,  I hope they taste good!
You can't go wrong with chocolate cupcakes......
and these are so whimsical and fun! 
Happy Easter!

Easter happenings



Happy good friday friends~
I made this crown of thorns for Easter. turned out pretty cool.
Good friday is our reminder that when everything feels lost, when darkness
seems to take over, there is HOPE on the way! 


These cherry blossoms are just beautiful. You can walk all around the Washington Arboretum and they are in full bloom.  Great place to take the family for Easter if you want to walk or do an Easter egg hunt.  I you haven't been it's a must!


A look at one of my table settings this season.
Do you like to host for Easter?

Dollar Tree bunny cups


Happy sunday!
Head on over to Dollar Tree to grab some of these cutie cups and pink napkins.
You can also find candies there, but I just grabbed some from Target. 


Start by unfolding your napkin to a square.
In the center lay some of the candies you have.
It doesn't require a lot.
Angle like a diamond shape and fold in half then keep folding up
till you get it to this point below. 


Now fold it right in half to create the bunny head with ears,
adhere it by using a piece of ribbon to tie a bow. 


Fold in half like this and tie a ribbon around it into a bow. 


Add the cute little white pom pom for the bunny bum.





Add it to your cup and there you have it!
You can add these to your Easter table or just gift them to your family/friends, etc.

Stampin Up! Fluttering Garden


Card two, day two of the fluttering garden paper pumpkin kit.
The colors in the kit are so vibrant.  I added a little bit of pumpkin pie
ink to the flowers in the background to tie the card together. 


After I took all the photos I ended up adding glitter to the wings of 
all the lil' hummingbirds.  
There is one more card to this kit that I will post on sunday.
