Egg candles

Pretty easy craft to do. Along with these I was going to do chocolate eggs in real egg shells but I just couldn't bring myself to eat more eggs & everyone else I made eat eggs. Just tap the tops off of the shells. Rinse them out & then wipe down with vinegar. Dye the shells & allow to dry. Melt your choice of wax. I used microwavable soy wax. I even added a little scent to the melted wax. I placed my wicks into the shell & then poured the wax. Allow to dry. Clip wicks. I set mine up in ceramic egg cartons I found at Jo-Anns & added little candies for decoration.

My pretty cupcakes

Made these 2 weeks ago. Normally I over pour batter & they get the muffin tops to them. Nothing special at all, just proud of myself!

Red Velvet (again!) with a hersey kiss in the middle topped with vanilla icing. I was wanting the kiss to melt but they didn't.

Chocolate cover bananas

I prefer chocolate covered strawberries, but these weren't half bad.

Peel bananas & cut them in half. Stick them with a popsicle stick. Freeze for 1 hour.

Heat your chocolate up. Take bananas out of freezer & dip. Wrap & freeze what you don't plan on eating right away.

My latest find

Have I mentioned before how much I love browsing Home Goods Store? I found this vase (like I need another one) for $5.99!! Nothing fancy, but I like the colors.
