I know it is a bit early, but in every store, Easter candy is staring me in the face! I love Easter candy, especially the mini Cadbury eggs! I cooked up a few great ideas for treat holders, tags, and treats to share with others, or make with your little ones. So let's get started, first up Bird Nest Easter Treats!

Sophisticated Bridal Shower {tablescape + gift idea}
Hello everyone! (waving my hands like a crazy person) It's been quite awhile since I've posted here. We went on a big family trip in February and during our trip we found out my father-in-law was diagnosed with Leukemia. Needless to say we have been busy making trips up to the hospital and focusing on our family, not leaving much time for crafting.

{Leprechaun Treasure Details + Free St. Patrick’s Day Tags}
Last week I posted my Leprechaun Rainbow Hunt Shamrocks and wanted to share with you fun things I found for the leprechaun "loot" or treasure, as well as a fun way to make sneaky little leprechaun footprints. Since leprechauns are so tricky and sneaky how fun would it be for your kids to wake up to little green footprints. You could also rearrange things, die the milk green, or use bistro markers to draw mustaches on family photos-silly things. These all would make my little ones … [Read more...] about {Leprechaun Treasure Details + Free St. Patrick’s Day Tags}
