Owl I want for Christmas

I love owls. I don't know where the love came from, I just know it's there in my heart. Their big inquiring eyes, inquisitive eyebrows, what's not to love?

So, when I saw owl cupcakes on pinterest, I couldn't resist duplicating them.


Adorable right? So easy!

Cupcake base, chocolate icing (or vanilla for snow owls!) Oreo halves, and Reese's pieces for the eyes and nose.

I did decide that they would be best used for a party and not a whole batch for two people to eat...!

"spring" fun

so "spring" is here....but i am having a hard time believing it...with the SNOW that we got today and the fact that i had to bust out my parka again...BUT i am moving forward to the next season with or without the weather's cooperation!

we had our sweet friends john and jill and my parents over for dinner last weekend and i had fun tablescaping with spring fun! our kitchen table only seats four so we had a girls table and boys table!



i found these cute little planters and the most adorable plant markers in the dollar spot at target (of course!) and decided to use those for place markers!!


And the fun part is that the planters came with seeds and soil to plant basil and parsley, so everybody got an Easter egg with a little pinch of sugar inside, their seeds to plant!!

needless to say i had way too much fun!

and of course i had to experiment with another dessert! Peanut butter cookie cupcakes from my new favorite recipe site






we changed the way we iced the cupcakes from what the recipe called for. and we sprinkled them with chocolate shavings! i wasn't totally sold on these cupcakes, i would make some changes if i make them again. they are much more dense than regular cupcakes, and they were just a little dry to me, but still a yummy treat, and they were cute anyway!!

what fun things/projects are you doing to celebrate spring?
