Easter bunny redo
So, today's post is something super short and sweet. A friend of mine had given me two pretty large bunny decorations that she did not want anymore. They were styled on the older style of things and had been around for awhile. I liked the size of them but just wasn't my style for the outfits. Know those standing ones you find in the stores underneath are made with wood and stuffing taped to it, along with the clothing glued on. So as to not tear the fabric from the bunny - I found a great use for some of my daughters old clothes. So it was bunny redo today. Quick- and easy. Love recycling things, especially when having a use for old baby clothes 😍

I did not fall off the face of the earth lol!
Oh my blogging !!! I have missed everything about you and sorry I haven't been around in so long! I basically stopped everything in October. I found a .......lump.... yup. Not even intentionally but I did and that began the spiral. A lump in my breast. So fast forward 6 months and I am free and clear and on the mend from surgery. All is gone and back to normal.
On to the fun stuff! So I have been banging out some amazing dishes - look for me on Instagram -eyezsoulblue. Especially if you love veggies 😁😁
On to the crafting fun. I am in Frozen hell right now. Literally my craft room looks like Elsa and Anna went to war ! Ha ha
My daughter's 4th birthday is right around the corner. We missed the Frozen phase first time around and I thought we were in the clear , but it got us! At this point I am a pretty damn good Elsa vocalist with her for every duet song on the soundtrack. I would also like to point out - it has 32 tracks. Really? Of course like all kids mine only likes the first 12 real songs- the rest are all instrumental.
So I am going WAY over board and I know the hubby wishes I was a bit more "normal" when it came to party planning but I don't know how to do that..... I'm a realist- I accept I don't know how to bring it down a notch! LOL
So a quick one for tonight is this super easy and inexpensive little idea I came up with as part of the favors. I wanted to do a wand of some sort. A snowflake wand or something. Well riddle me this batsman- for 6-10 favors on Etsy or anywhere like that they are charging up to $15 a wand!!!! That's crazy. So I thought - ok off to the craft store I go and I will make them myself. Well after scouting Joanns- Michaels- Hobby Lobby and ACMoore I could not find any snowflakes. Ok- then what??? So as I was wondering around in ACMoore I found these little chalkboard painted craft sticks. BAM -perfect. I tied them in the Frozen colors and on each one I will be writing all of the kiddies names on them. They are perfect - and cost me what buying one craft made one would have cost me. And I made 18 of them! Can't wait until I'm done making all these decorations etc. but it will be fun to post when I'm done :)
