Hello!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Good Morning!

I was just over on Pinterest and I came across this funny little piece of poster art!  It made me laugh out loud because it really did bring back the memory of what paste tastes like!  No, I didn't eat it all the time, but curiosity got the best of me and I definitely tasted it once!  I can still remember that it had a funky minty taste!  Ack!  Anyway, I'm not ashamed to admit that I also licked an Ivory soap bar once, ACK ACK!!!  Funky.  Oh, and I did a bit of the Elmer's glue hand mural thing followed by the joyful and ceremonious peel off!  HA!  :)

Anyway, I've had a good laugh!  Did you do any weird things as a child?

Easter Desserts and Candy

Happy Easter!

Yummmm... I've gotta admit, today I will be bad, I will eat candy like a child and I don't even like candy all that much! Except for lots of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, Whoppers Malted Robin Eggs, Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Bunnies and, though they may taste like nothing but sugar fluff, Peeps!

Anyway, here are a few Easter dessert and candy images I've gathered, all of them look yummy! All it takes is a little creativity, take a basic recipe and let your imagination run! You can get started by checking out the following links for some more ideas and recipes...

Mmmm Easter brittle!

Rice Krispies Eggs!  Just form them with some plastic wrap!

Ok, this is not a candy or cupcake, but these "Chicks on Stick" (HAHA!!) found on Pinterest are so adorable!- Cherry Tomatoes and Mini Mozzarella's!  I'd use bits of carrot for the lips and peppercorns for the eyes. 

These little marshmallow chicks are oh so cute! (via Living Locurto)

Easter Egg Designs!

 Hello hello!  I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far!

As promised, here is the first of three Easter themed posts to give you some inspirational ideas!  This post will focus on Easter eggs, I've compiled a multitude of images from traditional to modern to ethnic (Polish, Romanian and Ukranian Easter Eggs!) and everything in between!  You're sure to find beautiful ideas in this post for customizing your Easter Eggs tomorrow!  Enjoy!

CHECK THESE OUT!  They're Polish Easter Eggs!  Perhaps Wycinanki eggs??  I recognize those Polish Wycinanki Paper Art designs!  Beautiful!

A tip... use a muffin pan to dye your eggs!

These are super pretty, I love the blue and white combination, reminds me of Santorini... *sigh*

A Garden and a Library!

Hello everyone!  Today has been a busy day for me, but I still feel grrrrreat!  Tony the Tiger style, you know?  Hehe...  Anyway, I came across this cute little motto/philosophy above and thought I'd share it with you.  If only life were that simple huh?  Well, I aim to make it so...  Which reminds me, I have yet to share with you my big plans for next year!  I still have to finish my wordy post on that subject!  I'm excited to share it with you.... soon!  In the meantime, have a wonderful afternoon! ;)
