Well howdy hooray hoopla...Spring is here! Woo hoo!!!! And I soo hope you all had GREAT weekends! First off, got some shabby dandy new goodies at SMJ Designs! FUN! And a great new freebie too! 
Friday, we decided to bake these festive Spring Cupcakes! Aren't they just cuuute? You bake any type of cupcake. Then you take coconut, put it in a bag with a few drops of food coloring. We chose green for spring grass! I'm sure pink would be adorable! Anyways, you shake the coconut around so all of it gets colored. So after we put pink frosting on the cupcakes, we put the coconut grass on top. Then added jellybean eggs. SO they look like little bird eggs nestling in some grass! CUTE! And yummy too!!!!!!
We had a totally hopping weekend! Just had so much fun going to a few tag sales with my mom on Saturday! And one sale run by two sisters, had these sweet offerings! I got the vintage dog and baby cow planters for the Boy's old shelf! Seriously, love to put pens and crayons in these. They make them look so cuute! Anyways, $1 each! And I got these old cut glass dishes. One is for deviled eggs..how perfect for Easter coming up! And the other is an old hobnail divided dish. LOVE THESE! Again $1 each! Don't you just love tag sales? I seriously go nuts looking at all the collectibles! Even if I don't need a thing! I always find something I really NEED!~ LOL
Anyways, have a wonderful Tuesday!!!!!! And try these cuute cupcakes! Your kiddies will LOVE them!!!!
Oh and one last thing I forgot...if you post on this bloggie post...tomorrow morning I will pick 3 random names and if your name is chosen, you will get one of my kits totally free! :)
Smoochies!

First time I have seen your kits-great colours! Now I am drooling for a cupcake - hubby is on another diet so we can't have sweets in the house.
