Who Are These People

V ery cute and easy Easter gift.  Simply print out the Easter Bunny Cotton Tail Bag Toppers and attach them to your bagged Cotton Candy and you are good to go.  I used the larger gift bags that are about 4 inches in width.  So these tags will fit those bags perfectly.  If you can’t find that size of bag, you can print these at a smaller size to fit your needs. To get the printable for this you need to head over to The Idea Room on facebook and 'like ' the page. Once you do click on previous downloads and you will see it. I printed them on card stock and st a pled th em to the bags. I can't wait for the kids to have their cott on candy bunny tails ! The Idea R oom FB Page  

  Very cute and super easy Spring/Easter Craft What you need: Clothes Pins Pipe Cleaners Googly Eyes Jelly Beans Ziploc Bags (T he smaller Jewelry ones ) Michale's and Ho bby Lobby have them.   It really is simple and easy. The kids loved helping me do it.  You just fill your zip lock bags with some jelly beans. About halfway. Decorate your clothes pins with little colored dots or lines or however you choose, twist the zip-lock bag to make it look like wings and clip the bag in the clothes pin. Add some pipe cleaner to give the look of antennas and don' t for get the cute googly eyes. They have ones with glue on the back of them or you can use glue dots to stick them on.

I decided that I was going to stop pinning stuff and forgetting about it. It was time for me to actually try some of them out.  Granted, I have tried some of the recipes for potlucks and such but some of the ones I tried swore they were the best ever and actually turned out rather disappointing. I am dedicating the next month of blog posts strictly to POPULAR pinterest recipes and projects and I am going to give my honest to goodness opinion on them. This first one I tried has been pinned a lot. Everyone loves fall right? They are cute little Cinnamon cheescakes with a pumpkin pie frosting.  They actually turned out very delicous but I did have to try two different batches to get them just right and I will say they are a little bit of work.  I have a 3 month old and a preschooler that were a little bit of an interference but I do like the end result.  Look for my review at the end of the article. Straight from my unbiased husbands mouth. Cinnamon Mini-Chees...

I found a similar idea to this and thought I would create my own to share with everyone.  It is a fun way for the kids to hunt for their Easter basket and even has a special message about Easter at the end of it! Let me know if you have any trouble printing it! Thanks! Easter Clues-click here for PDF

To reveal the gender of baby number three I decided to get creative. I made cupcakes and dyed the frosting blue and pink.  I put pink frosting on the inside using my Wiltons icing kit ($10 at Wal-mart). I then frosted all the cupcakes blue and pink.  It was so much fun waiting for everyone to take a bite and see that pink frosting on the inside. It was so much fun and super easy to do.  I finished the whole product within two hours of finding out what we were having.
