Easter Bliss

I *borrowed* this idea from the Room to Inspire blog. Instead of the burlap used in the original tutorial; I used some extra minky fabric as well as a patterned fabric I had leftover from a previous project. Funny enough, the fabric actually has little bunnies on it as well - it was meant to be!

This was a quick and easy project that you and your children can create together. I plan on attaching the bunny to my niece's Easter basket. This would also be really cute as a name "place card" at your Easter brunch!

PS: Can you spot the bunny in the fabric?!

Happy Easter!!

*craft :: more frames!

* craft:: initial hook

These little hooks are perfect for any entry way, closet, bathroom, children's room... basically anywhere in your home or office! I made one for my closet to hold all of my fun, costume jewelry as well as one for the entry way for the Mr's keys!

Ms. Holly Golightly could not have said it any better... "That's right. I'm just *crazy* about Tiffany's!" Well... what girl isn't?! My wonderful, ever-so-loving husband, surprised me with not one, but TWO of those little blue boxes. My eyes widened like saucers! For ME?!!! I slowly opened the first box & to my surprise... a cupcake bracelet!!! Cupcakes & Tiffany's?!! NOT POSSIBLE! Oh, but it is! He surprised me with the cupcake charm to either put on a necklace or a bracelet. ::sigh:: pure bliss!

:: Beautiful Blogger Award ::

Thank you so much Jennifer from Books, Recipes & Life, Oh My! for the Beautiful Blogger Award! According to the rules of the award I must enumerate seven interesting things about myself:

• I have known my husband since I was 6 years old - he is my brother's best friend. My grandparents share the same story as my husband and I & said they have known for years that we would get married! (Which is so strange since we never, ever, showed any interest until the past couple of years)
• I was brought up to know, understand & love my heritage. My father is 100% Italian & my mother 100% Irish. Sometimes I get sad for my children that they are going to be muts.
• I have been playing golf since I was 3 years old - none of the men (husband, dad, brother) in my life play golf (seriously) and I can whoop every single one of them. My mom taught me how to play & people call us the "deadly duo".
• I was 100% certain that I was going to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader from ages 4-12. Every Monday during Monday Night Football I would dress up in my Cowboys gear & do a routine to the MNF song at the beginning with my pom pons. I always wonder if my parents thought I was crazy...
• I have always dreamed about living in Florida & feel very accomplished for actually making the move.
• I absolutely love baking/cooking but will rarely feature anything I make on my blog... although it tastes *amazing*, I have a very hard time making it look appealing! My husband gets very worried sometimes when I plop something in front of him to try!
• I hate jeans - I hate the feeling of them and the idea of putting on a pair of jeans! I am starting to get better though... I recently bought a pair of jeans (and then returned them). ;)

Thank you so much for this award, Jen! I am so flattered! :)
