Easter Basket Swap

Here are a few photos of an Easter basket swap I recently joined.  My partner was Cindy.  The basket is so pretty in my favorite shade.

 Cindy is very handy with a needle.  She made me a sweet chick, a cupcake shaped pincushion ( just look at that tiny needle work) and a sachet made from lavender she grew herself.

She is also great with paper.  Here she made an egg shaped hanging decoration, some tiny tags, and a decorated box filled with bits and bobs.

 The basket was filled with the prettiest little eggs decorated with leaves and flowers.  And yes, there were a lot of chocolate treats in there too.  I can't imagine what happened to them!

Thank you so much for being my partner Cindy.  I love everything!

More "Peeps in the Park"

This Easter we decided to do a Peeps diorama.  We called it "Peeps in the Park"  ta da! This first photo shows a motorcycle rider wearing a cool leather head band. vrrrroom

 Next up we have two peeps selling freshly picked flowers.  They are two for $5.00 today only.

The next peep is riding in a boat made by my husband.  Like those basket filler waves?

And here we have a peep bar- be- queing some delicious meats.  He's holding tongs made out of a twist tie.

Here's a quick areal  shot. Check out more peeps projects on pinterest.

Bunny Cars

I started seeing these bunny cars all around last year.  Of course I was dying to try them but somehow ran out of time. You know how it is.  Anyway I finally made them this year, yay!  They are so easy and there are tutorials all over pinterest, but there is one step you need to know about or your cars will stick to their serving dish. I learned the hard way.

The twinkie bottoms are very sticky.  To make this less of a problem I dabbed the bottoms in powdered sugar.  No more sticky!

Now it is your Holiday duty to get out there and make your very own bunny cars. They are even cuter in person.

VROOM!

Cupcake Cuties

Can you believe how cute these little cupcakes are?  I have been seeing cupcakes like these all over pinterest and I love them.  The directions seem pretty easy, and just look how cute they are in an Easter basket.  Imagine a whole tray of them at a party.  sigh  By the time you buy all of the ingredients and spend a couple of hours decorating, there you will have them.  They might take a whole Saturday.  

 Don't despair, I found these at Family Dollar for a dollar each.  YAY!  They are the size of a standard cupcake and are made of marshmallow. 

I'm dying
