Funtastic Friday #225

Teacher Appreciation week is fast approaching!

Paula has the cutest printable tag to go with a berry basket of apples

or a bagged up individual apple with caramel sauce. 

Our teachers would love this! 

If you're looking for more ideas for your teacher, 

You can find them with their own  printable tags {here} and {here}

I have to admit, 

I'm already starting to think of the end of the school year and summer!

If you are too and want to get prepping a cute gift for a teacher or friend,

check out our "orange you glad it's summer!" gift tags

Looking forward to seeing more teacher and Mother's Day ideas 

at this week's link party....

Here we go--

Funtstic Friday #224

I've been getting into some basic quilting over the past few years.
Wanting to branch out from 5" squares, but still keeping things simple.

Claire has the perfect combination of denim and chevron for her rug.
Would love to make a lap quilt with this pattern.
Denim is just a fun material to work with
and has so many pretty blues.



It got me thinking about some other sewing projects.
Check out this easy denim, ruffled apron.
Great for those outdoor BBQ's this summer.

Enjoy your Easter weekend!
I'm looking forward to the holiday, Easter dinner and family.
Plus we get to attend a wedding!

I got to make this board for the reception.
We can't wait- congrats to these two!

Now let's get on to the party!

Funtstic Friday #223

I just mailed out little Easter bags to my college kids.
Here's the idea for sending a simple care package
to someone far away for this holiday.

Put some shredded green paper "grass" in the bottom of a cellophane bag,
some jelly bellies and other favorite candies,
simple bracelet, gift card and spiritual thought. (lots of Ester printables out there!)
Tie up with some spring colored ribbon.

Michele has the easy instructions for making these cute decorative eggs.
This would be fun to add to your care package.

And wouldn't it be special to have a glittered egg tied with twine at each place setting for Easter dinner?

I love having little favors at each place setting for holiday meals.
Makes things a little extra festive.



This year, I'm making little bird nests on each plate.
Easy and edible too!

On to Funtastic Friday!

Simple Easter Table Bird Nest Favor

Easter is one of those holidays 

where you want to set a pretty table

Adding a favor at each place setting

makes it extra special.

This cute bird's nest favor just says spring!

And it's so simple to make.

Funtastic Friday #222

I'm starting to think about an Easter menu.

Do you have a traditional meal?

We always have a ham, twice baked potatoes and asparagus on the menu,

but I often add another side or dessert for sure.

It's always fun to try out a new recipe for these 2 other dishes.

Ashley has the cutest idea for chocolate bunny mousse tarts.

And they are so easy to make!

 Just what I need for this year's Easter dinner.

I've still got to put up a few decorations around the house.

This Peter Cottontail board is one of my favorites.

Let's get started with another fabulous week of Funtastic Friday!

Printable Soda Can General Conference Reminder

It's that first weekend in October and April

 from modern day apostles, prophets and other followers of Jesus Christ. 

You can go {here} to find current or past talks on all kinds of topics.

I teach an early morning seminary class to teens
