"Coaster Calendar"

I decided to make a coaster calendar and attach an additional decorated coaster, with ribbon, to make it stand up. I've seen several different styles made, some with pictures, others with quotes.

I found this gorgeous cream paper with Christian words in brown all over it. So, I covered my coasters with it and matted my calendar and scripture in solid brown cardstock. I also used brown satin Offray ribbon to tie the coasters together.

I've made this for my sister, Kim, for Easter. So, hopefully, she's so busy that she'll not be able to check my blog before church in the morning! heehee

"More Easter Treats"

I got the inspiration for these great Hershey stick holders from my gal pal, Rochelle. She has complete instructions for them on her blog. She always has the neatest stuff posted!!

I made these for my niece and nephew, Lauren and Craig, for Easter. Since they've gotten abit too old for me to fix them Easter baskets, I thought these would be something neat to give them.

Thanks for the inspiration and directions, Rochelle! You rock!

"Easter Order"

This is an order I just finished up this evening for my sister, Kim. She's going to fill them with the chocolate bars. (Because I have a tendency to eat up all the chocolate!) LOL

I know what you're thinking.....man, she's done alot of these chocolate pouches lately, but I can't help it, they make such great treats to give out. Plus, you can decorate them for any occasion!

Kim wanted the pouches to be pastel, for Easter, and the gorgeous stamps used on them are from The Angel Company. The cross and 'He is Risen' are separate stamps, I just combo'd them up for this.

I have to thank my dear friend, Linda, for letting me borrow this set. She's always so good to share!

"Easter Class Treats"

These are class treats for Alyssa to take to school Thursday for Easter. They came together pretty quick. Each holder has a roll of Smarties candy inside. The template for these is the same as the one I use when I make my lipgloss and chapstick holders.

To make these, cut the cardstock at 3 1/2 x 6 1/2, then scored at 3 and 3 1/2. Then, fold over at the 3 1/2 score and cut 2 slits (about an inch apart) inward to the other score line. When you open the holder, you will need to 'pop up' the slot to slide your candy through. If you wish to tie it together, I use the SU slot punch.

I posted a picture of the inside below:

"Easter Treats"

Hope you are not tired of seeing my chocolate bar pouches, because I love making these as treats!

I've made these for the ladies in the office, along with the Principal and Vice-Principal, at Alyssa's school for Easter. I tried to use a variety of pastel papers, but I threw a brown in, because the Vice-Principal is a guy.

I love the scripture stamp by Stampabilities that I got to use on the front. It reads "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY" Psalm 91:1 (If you click on the picture, you will be able to read the stamp clearly)

"Teachers' Easter Gifts"

These are the Easter gifts I've prepared for Alyssa's teachers. We found these resin crosses at Wal-Mart, and I let her choose which ones she wanted and for whom.

I've enclosed them in cello bags with iridescent filler and added a topper. The gorgeous Easter stamp is from The Angel Company and is borrowed from my dear friend, Linda.

I noticed this morning, that my craft 'to-do' list has gotten pretty lengthy, so I'm going to be busy, busy. I'll see you again later today!!
