Transition Door Wreath: for your front door

 What?  A Transition Door Wreath?  What is that??

For me I decided it would be a wreath or Letter in this case, that I could hang on my front door while transitioning onto the next Holiday or Season.  Take this year for example......Easter came and went in March and I was not going to keep my Easter Wreath on the door any longer.  It was driving me crazy. And here in Utah you can have spring and winter weather all in the same day during the spring months.

So I made a Transition Wreath.  Something that does not have any Holiday or Season theme but is still cute and functional.

I bought a Giant Letter from Hobby Lobby, painted it and then made the Chevron Tie out of some fabric I had on hand.  Ah, I am feeling much better already!

 I do not know about you but I think I am more excited to transition into spring and summer weather now!

Lalaloopsy Cake

My daughter turned 6 this past week!  I can not believe where the time is going!!

She requested a Lemon Cake this year as well as a Lalaloopsy Cake so this is what I made for her:

2 Yellow straws and a paper banner with Lalaloopsy's on them.

Fast and Simple and so cute too......she was very pleased.

It was a Lemon Cake with a Strawberry filling in the middle.

The leftover Easter Sixlets were the perfect colors to finish off the cuteness for the top.

Monster Cake

My son and my husband celebrated birthdays a while back and we had a BIG monster party for both of them.  This is the cake I made for the party:

Thanks to this cake HERE for the inspiration I was able to put together a fun cake.  For the eyes on my cake I used Ritz crackers dipped in Orange Chocolate melts and added the candy eyeballs to the top. The mouth on my cake is just paper. Super easy and fun to make. This cake was a chocolate cake with Orange Cream Frosting.......yes it was super good!

Paper Sack Bunnies

I just had to share these adorable Paper Sack bunnies that my mother-in-law made my kids for Easter.  How cute are they?!  She filled them up with sidewalk chalk and treats and the kids loved them!

Thanks Nancy!

Spring Mantel: He is Risen Banner

 My Mantel has been decorated for a few weeks now and I love it.  

I am super happy with my new addition this year: My HE IS RISEN pennant banner.

I made it from paper pennants, sticker letters and some yarn.  It fits perfectly on my picket fence.

 All of the other decorations are from years past.  

Fabric Bunnies, Wooden Blue Bird, Fabric Easter Eggs , Fabric Carrots

Spring MOSS Wreath

I have fallen in love with the look of Moss this spring.

So I decided to make myself a Moss Wreath.

 If you like the Easter Egg Felt Banner you can find ones like this one HERE in my etsy shop.

 Here is the back:

My hotty hubby helped me make some frames out of some wood, some wood glue and brackets.  I was able to make 2 large frames for $2.00 total.  BONUS!  I bought sheet moss with a 50% off coupon, some pink burlap for 50 cents and again using a coupon I added the cute nest as well.
