Mantle change up...Hang some big plastic eggs with some ribbon. Get a jar and fill it with grass and smaller plastic eggs. I was bad and didn't jot down where I found the Easter subway art. Sorry...I tried to retrace my steps but...no luck. Luckily there are so many fun and free print ables. Go here for another print. Go here for the banner. I found the colored glass vases at yard sale.

I stumbled across this... while searching for something fun the little baker and I could whip up.

Totally fun...totally easy...with ingredients already in the pantry.

The lucky four leaf clover.

We even had some yogurt covered pretzels in the pantry.

Thank you to Heather for helping inspire me to pay omage to the Irish side of this McCoy family. She posted photos of her fabulous mantle on her FB page and I had to follow the leader. Best part? Total cost for mantle redeco was $0.00 because I found all the supplies around the house.
A jar full of buttons! Luv it. Heather's mantle had a jar filled with green colored candies. Very sweet and yummy! I didn't have the candy so I used what I had on hand. BUTTONS! Go here for the printable in the frame.
This garland was made in a flash! I used kitchen twine and clothes pins to hold it together. I found the printable here and the two Cricut paper dolls leprechans were constructed and save from a project last year.

Subway art is pretty hot right now! Words strategically placed in a simple monochromatic collage. Batta bing batta boom...Go here and print this one.

Valentine's Day makes me crave cupcakes. Who am I kidding? Really...you all know that I always crave cupcakes. Ha!
But this really inspired me to bake some sweet cups. Isn't it so cool that the heart is baked right in the cupcake! So H and I followed the instructions!Ta'da ...here is our decorated super cute cupcake! Pink frosting, heart shaped sprinkles... Right? The frosting is aMaze-Zing...totally to die for! The base ingredient is what takes it over the edge.Here is the inside of our cupcake, well...not so perfect.. And although our hearts didn't quite sink to the bottom and bake in the center of the cupcakes...They were delish and we ♥ them! H and I had a blast in the kitchen together! That's the most important thing. Spend quality time with the kiddos. (I already know where I went wrong and I'll make adjustments next time). Why not...there are so many recipes to try. Whoo hoo! Look at this...she was inspired too.

As promised here is the "after"...i-pod Valentine treats to pass out to the classmates. H searched the internet for a project and finally decided on this one.

Here is the "before"...you have to stay tuned in to see the "after".
