Lil' Chocolate Bunnies!

Happy Thursday!! You know what that means!!?! Tomorrow...is Friday!! Wooohooo! I have been on a new schedule adding in Hip Hop classes and Soccer and possibly swim team, all starting this past week for the Girls! They have something everyday but Friday!!! Why is it always so hard adjusting to new schedules? Crazy I tell you!!!

I have been busy in the craft shack as well... P K Glitz asked me if they could feature me on their blog and I said...Yes, Please!! That meant making some crafty goodness with some of their yummy glitter...{Okay!} Since Easter is coming I needed to start on some treats....

Bunny Love!! I used a couple of PTI stamps to make the tags and after coloring with Copics, I glittered around the tag as well as the bunnies adorable little heart tails! These make such a fun little treat! Who doesn't love a chocolate bunny?? YUM!!!

I have a request in for cereal/marshmallow treats for Easter. So I'll be making some of those soon. I made Lucky Charm treats for St. Patricks day and honestly, I just don't think anything can top those! Have you ever made them with Lucky Charms? I'm not kidding...they are the best treats, Ever!!! I was having trouble not eating them all! Seriously....so I'm not sure I can top those!

If you want to take a peek at what else I made this week, you can hop over to the P K Glitz blog and read the feature! Too Fun!!

Thanks for stopping by today! I love that you did!

A Ray of Sunshine....

....is peeking thru my window. Its been raining here....everyday. Its cold and dreary and I haven't crafted very much...I come in here and pretend I'm going to create something really great and than its too dark and cold and well...a movie and snuggle time seem so much better...

I've been thinking about re-painting my office, looking at paint chips to decide a pretty color {I'm inclined to paint teal!}....I couldn't throw away the paint strips which did not make the cut....so I started making some fun tags out of them....when they are finished I will show you...but here's a sneek peek...

What are your plans for this weekend? Top of my list is to clean my office which has seriously been neglected this week and I rented Skyline, The Tourist and How Do you Know? for some rain cocooning. Off to make some homemade chili for tonight. Warms on the inside and out!!
Hope its sunny where you are!
Have a great weekend!

A Blessing and A Little Help, Please...

It's hard to do a post with something so light and fun as St. Patricks Day and something so tragic as the tsunami in Japan but today, is the day for both.

I didn't make any little treats to send in with the Kids today, they didn't seem to mind though and the little crazy leprechaun stopped by sometime in the night and left fun clothes to wear,{so no pinches today!}. He turned the milk green too and left a box of Lucky Charms and marshmallows to make some after school treats with. I'm making the traditional corned beef and cabbage but this year I'm also adding in some yummy Irish beef hand pies...Yum!!!! What are you doing? The traditional dinner? Pub Crawling...looking for that elusive green beer? Searching for Unicorns? Anything?

When we sit down to eat our traditional St.Patricks Day fare, we will remember how blessed and lucky we truly are. We will also say a prayer for the people affected by the tsunami in Japan.



Since my heart goes out to all those affected by this horrible tsunami, tomorrow, I will join many other bloggers in...Bloggers Day of Silence...The aim: to raise awareness and acknowledgement of the devastation going on in Japan. If you have a blog....consider joining in. You can also help by donating. You can donate here or choose any other relief organization aimed at helping those who are in need right now. I've said it before when it comes to donating...any little bit helps...donating doesn't have to hurt you....give what you can, what you are comfortable with....be it your time, money, energy....or in this case, even your silence. For more information...you can click here.

If you got thru this long post and can help in anyway...Yay and Thanks!!!

I'm off now...to the store to pick up some stuff for tonight....I hope you have some green on!!

and until next time...

May you have all the happiness...
and luck that life can hold...
and at the end of all your rainbows...
may you find a pot of gold!!

Have a Lucky kind of day!!

Hearts and Butterflies....

Oh paper scraps, you've turned into something so much better than you were before.....

I haven't crafted much lately....cleaning a bit. Laundry. Bills. Trying to get more organized is a lot harder than I thought it would ever be. I think I'm a slight hoarder. Not the kind that needs an intervention and a camera crew, kinda hoarder, but never the less, the kind that needs to stop "needing" so many craft supplies....my office is over-run, bursting with fabulous touchables and bags of happy goodness just waiting patiently to get used in the next perfect project that I just "have" to try. I'm determined to find my follow-thru. Determined to have a studio and a home that screams "Create" and not "cleanup" and so some things will turn into other things....
like a beautiful Caterpillar....

In an effort to organize, reduce, recycle and reuse...my little Hannah and I punched and punched and punched out little hearts, butterflies and circles this weekend...all from a humongous bag of scrapbook paper scraps. Scraps I save from every project ever made. Overflowing. Overtaking. Its was quite the mess but now it is much less. Just looking at this huge pile of butterflies makes me feel happy. Beautiful little butterflies. I've already used a few of them on sweet packaging for my etsy store ...

The bag of scraps is much smaller and can close now, a small feat in itself!! I'm thinking this is a perfect way to just use small scraps. If I punch them out right away...I'll always have some pretty butterflies to work with and I can throw away the punched out little scrap!!

Do you save all your scraps??? How do you store them?? What do you do with them?? Lets talk about scrap paper organization, share your great ideas!!

Pom Pom {Love}

I don't know what it is about pom poms that I love so much but I do...they are so fun to make....even the Kids have been making some...adorable little pom poms bracelets...So sweet!!! I'm working on some garlands...pom pom garlands of love....{giggle}.

Besides making the pom poms, I haven't crafted much. It was a busy week though. To Do lists really do help!! Honey and I took the Girls to a Japanese "Dollar" store near the City this weekend. I was in Bento heaven there!! I bought a bunch of super cute things to make the Girls lunches happy, happy, happy. Today, Hannah's lunch had a boiled egg molded into the shape of a heart in it!!! I'm thinking you can't be having a bad day when you open your lunch box and there is a egg in the shape of a heart in there!!!! Along with the Bento items, I also found some adorable crafting things, pretty masking tape...the package says "Let's enjoy decorating!" Okay I say!!! Button makers and more. We also bought a couple of bags of candy called Hi-Chew. Have you ever tried it? Oh my goodness, they are delish!!! I think it might be my new favorite candy!!!! I also found a little garbage can with colorful mushrooms on it!! It had to come home with me! The Girls picked out some little bags and hair accessories, along with re-usable lunch bags...loved it in there!! A lot of fun! When the Bento supplies are down we will definitely be going back there!!!
Honey played hookie from work yesterday and we lounged around all day, watching movies, a nice way for us to start the week!!
Hopefully, I'll be more productive this week....what are your big plans???
As my Brother would say.....
Until next time, Keep living the Dream.....
