Happy 40th Decorate a Friend's Yard

More pics to follow, but all my inspiration for SF K -  circled around this jar, from Brown Paper Packages. {I wish I had my Silhouette already for some vinyl, but a girl can just keep wanting I guess}, I loved how it turned out. I actually scraped out the cream out of the oreos because on one of those warm SoCal days yesterday it was making a sticky mess.
It's a simple craft, Mason jar, some ribbon and a tag!

Imagine opening your front door and seeing this jar on your doorstep... you would just have had to {{giggle}} a little despite that fact you are about to enter a new decade! and I just hope I look as good, trim and fit, as SF K when I turn 40! A girl can still {dream} right?

SF K, hope your birthday celebrations are special this year :-)

Tags for an Easter Craft

I realized a couple years ago that anything I do for an event looks much better and more complete if I make tags for it.  So, whenever I'm helping with a party or event, I offer to do the tags.  BFF S did the craft at the Egg Hunt here in Coto so I made tags for all the different supplies (we also spent a number of hours cutting all the plate pieces, UGH! talk about sore hands).  This is a very affordable craft to do for a large group, just a lot of elbow grease!

Bunny Brownies - Easter Treats

I ran around like last minute nelly buying my supplies yesterday since my original craft using liquid starch and balloons didn't pan out... . Wow, lots of assembling for this one, but pretty cute! Thank you to No Fuss Fabulous for sharing this idea. It's been done in Mason Jars, but my friend Taryn with Dipped Darlings had these awesome To Go containers that worked out great to use and label....
I can't wait for someone to save me a piece of the brownies to try out!

Here's what's in them:
1 Sleeve Graham Crackers
8 Peeps
1 cup of M&M's
1/3 cup of Brown Sugar
