Easter

I have been pretty busy getting things ready for Easter, and I think I'm done with all the goodie part anyway.
Easter dinner planning will be next.
Here are a few things I (along with the help of Pinterest) came up with this year.

 I saw these on Pinterest and just had to make them! They are adorable! After filling them you can't really lift them with the overall straps because the cardstock isn't strong enough, but they were a big hit!

I also went all out and made Emilee and Sean's teachers these cute flowers made out of Chocolate!! 

Then finally I made these ice cream cones for the kids class!

I had lots of fun with all these projects, now on to the next!!  Looking forward to coming up with a few things for teacher appreciation week. The teachers work so hard, they deserve something that can put a smile on their faces!

 

Just finished another button scrapbook page. It's kinda bright and colorful, what do you think?

Now I have to clean this messy table. BLAH!!!

 

It's time again for a weekend of scrapbooking. We're at a new place and it's awesome! Here are a few pictures of our rooms.

Lime Green is so bright and cheery!! I think we will definitly be back for sure.
Have a great weekend!

 

SNOW

We have been getting quite a lot of snow in the past few weeks and it has been REALLY COLD! So I thought I'd share some of my snowy scrapbook pages. Enjoy and stay warm!

Stay warm everyone!

 

Santa Shop

I volunteered at the Santa Shop this year again, these little kids are so adorable. Most of the kids had little stories of why they were getting certain things for their family members, but this one little boy (Kindergartener)was having a hard time choosing something to get for his dad until he came across this snow scrapper. He was sooo excited, he said  "my dad is going to LOVE this, he always has to use his truck scrapper to scrape my moms car windows because my mom always looses hers, now he'll have an extra." I really enjoyed helping these little cuties do their Christmas shopping. I even got to have lunch with Sean and Emilee and their classmates. At lunch the little cuties were discussing what I might make for their Christmas party treats...they know me so well already. lol

Lunch with Sean!

I'm Back!

Hello Everyone! I have been meaning to update my blog for a while now. I have lots to share. I made these cute chocolate covered pretzel turkeys for Emilee and Sean's class. They kinda look like Beaker. HA! The kids loved them!

What do you think, don't they look like Beaker? LOL

Turkey Treat Boxes

Yesterday I spent the day in the basement trying to come up with a cute little treat for Emilee and Sean to take in to school for a special Thanksgiving treat. These are what I finally came up with.

I got the idea off (you guessed it) Pinterest.  http://www.mychicnscratch.com/2010/06/triangle-box-1.html
I cut my cardstock 3x8. I used the life is a beach cricut cartridge for the feathers. I filled the turkeys with hershey kisses. Well I only have 20 of them done so far and I wasn't in the mood to work on them today so I'll have to finish the rest tomorrow.
Today I was in the mood to try a new kinda cookie. I made Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cookies!!! They are really GOOD! I might just make some of these for my cookie exchange this year instead of the Almond Joy Cookies I was planning on making. I followed this recipe excepted I added 2 cups of pretzels insead of 1.
