If you don’t have brunch reservation, you’d better hope that breakfast in bed is pretty tasty and not at all full of bits of eggshell.

A super busy schedule around here the last couple of weeks hasnʼt really left us with any substantial time for crafting. Never fear, I have found pockets of time in which to dream, plan and bookmark crafting ideas that I am interested in doing.

3. Cadbury Creme Egg cupcakes! I have a sister who would just go crazy over these cupcakes from My Baking Addiction… hmm, but does she deserve them?
4. Silk tie dyed eggs, chalkboard eggs and cross-stitched eggs. Yup! All on my list! Read more...
