Easter: Part I

I'm just a little late at posting these beautful, photo-worthy cupcakes.  (If you could hear me, you would sense my sarcasm!)  They may not look as pretty as the original recipe pictures, but they were a disaster a lot of fun to make! 

My mom found the cute little sheep cupcake recipe and I found the others.  We spent the ENTIRE day before Easter slaving away in the kitchen.  We never could have imagined the hard work that we put into these damn cupcakes!!  After the first dozen, we decided to just ice them and throw some sprinkles on top. 

Most of the recipes called for a batter made from scratch...ummm...we cheated and used box cake mix! 

Lamb Cupcakes adapted from the Imperial Sugar Website (told you the orignal ones were cuter!)

Easter Egg Basket Cupcake adapted from here.

Bunny Rabbit Cupcake adapted from here.





Easter Bark adapted from here.

After we had all the fun we could handle with our cupcakes, we moved on to easier and faster fun.  My mom, David, and I colored Easter eggs.  Well, it was more like my mom and I.  David just watched and said "This just proves Easter is more for the adults than the kids."  In our family, we go big or go home when it comes to the holidays!  If you've seen my Halloween posts, or any other holiday post, you probably already knew that!  We took all of our treats to my dad's farm on Easter Sunday.  For almost 30 years, we've had a big Easter picnic out there...with an egg hunt, LOTS of food, softball and volleyball (which btw, I'm still sore), and a bonfire with s'mores!

This was our first Easter without my nieces around (they are in Alabama).  So we had to color eggs for them :)






Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  We actually had gorgeous weather...which is surprising for Oklahoma!

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway
