Easter Teacher Gifts

This is a very easy gift for teachers.  I found little tins in the dollar bin at Target and put foam in the bottom.

 I put the sticks in the Oreo cookies and let them set for a few minutes.  Then I started dipping them in the candy coating that I had melted. Be aware that I had several of the oreos break so try not to put too much coating on at a time.  I laid them out on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and added sprinkles.  Then into the fridge they went for 10 minutes until they were set up.  I put them in plastic bags and tied ribbon around them. Honestly, I made 4 of these in under an hour.
 

My Saturday afternoon................

Spring wreath

Remember the post about the wreath I made for Valentines day.  Well, my talented friend Crystal just sent me of a spring one she made.  She used the same directions just switched the color's up and hot glued flowers on it.  Look how cute! Thanks for sharing this.

 

Papaw's 90th Birthday

My Grandfather is one of the most Godly men I have ever met.  Last week he celebrated his 90th birthday with family and friends.  My Papaw has always been such a hard worker all of his life.  He loves to garden and build anything with wood. Honestly I am so blessed to have so many pieces of furniture he has made in my house. I know that my papaw has always prayed for me and my family.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful example in my life. These are things that I will always treasure.  I wanted to share some pictures of the party.  My moms cousin made all of the cakes.  They each represent the things he loves in his life.

I was having a hard time making up my mind about center pieces so I just went to his shop and pulled out some things that remind me of him.
