Orange you glad I'm posting this?

A-CORNS (not Eggs)

Don't you love it when you see something that was originally one thing ... and then one day ... a very smart person (probably a woman) said, "Hey, let's try this!"

What a cute idea and you can go ahead use those eggs you already have ... 'cause you know where you can get more next year!

HERE is where you can get all the details!

Thankful Tree

It can never be said enough -

"Thank You!"

What a big way to remind one another what and who we are thankful for.  Let everyone in the family join in. Are you having friends over? Include them, too. Just have a few extra leaves handy. You might find someone is thankful for You!

I'm Fallin' for Turkeys

With a little bit of cooler weather AND having seen some wild turkeys not far from my house, I'm getting in the mood for FALL! 

Fall is my favorite time of year and I start crafting again.  Indoor days can be filled with fun things to do, too.



This is certainly an easy craft and a few of them on a Thanksgiving table would be fun! HERE is the link to the site with directions.

Colorful, Easy, & Fun

This mom certainly put her creativity to work in a big way.  At a time when time is like gold, she was able to make a big impact with little investment but a big "wow"!

If your child is old enough to help, either picking out the colored papers or even cutting out the circles ... 

all the better!

My Favorite Bunny!

Awwww! I was so happy when I saw this Bunny Cake come 

up on Pinterest. Yes ... she's/he's cute, yes ... I like coconut, and yes ... it's easy!  

But that's not why I'm happy.

I'm happy because this brings back many memories of Easters 

past when my Mom made a cake like this for our family, 

AND for the memories, too, of when I made this very same kind of 

cake for my own children and our Easter get-togethers.

Some things never go out of style or get old ... 

they just get better because they touch a soft spot in our hearts.  

Two simple, strategic cuts on a round cake will instantly transform your cake 

layers into a Bunny ...  and with a bow tie, if you like!
