Happy Easter ya'll. I hope that you are enjoying a long weekend! Unfortunately, a couple of us are a little under the weather over here, so I'm going to be playing it pretty safe this week with the menu plan.

Monday: Sweet Potato Casserole, Brown Sugar and Spice Chicken


Tuesday: Fish Sticks, Corn and Fruit
Wednesday: Breakfast for Dinner


Thursday:  Chicken Nuggets, Broccoli
Friday: Spaghetti with Dressed up Sauce


Saturday: Something on the grill
Sunday: Baked Potatoes, Pork chops, Salad, Fruit

What are you cooking this week?

First of all, I want to wish you and your family a very happy Easter. If you are looking for an easy way to join in worship for Easter, but you don't have a local church family, you can always join us at Elevation Church online here 24/7.

And now, for a quick round-up of my favorite posts this past month, in case you missed them:

Secret Ingredient Samoa Brownies


Crockpot Chili with Cocoa


Origami Easter Wreath


Sunburst Mirror


Enjoy!

Sometimes, all it takes to make a meal special is a cookie cutter.

Today, I am sharing some sweet and simple faux flowers to decorate for spring over at My Favorite Finds.


If it's cold and nasty where you are right now (you know, instead of spring-like) go visit and see how I made them!

Tear the edges of your image so that it fits on your canvas.


Then apply a fairly thick layer of Mod Podge photo transfer medium on the print. You do not want to be able to see the image through the medium.


Place the image face down on the canvas. Keep in mind that your image will be reversed from the original, so if you are transferring something where this will matter, you will need to reverse the original print out. Now, you have to leave the image alone for at least 24 hours for the image to dry.


Once at least 24 hours have passed, take a wet sponge or rag and wet the entire image. Then rub gently to remove the paper fibers.


Keep rubbing (rewetting as needed) until all the paper fibers are off  the canvas, and all the image is revealed.


Mix up some matte Mod Podge with some craft paint. On the areas that I wanted to red as bright yellow, I mixed about half and half. The background areas had more Mod Podge in the ratio to the paint.


And that's it, an easy way to create pop art out of a photograph...no fancy photo editing programs needed.


Enjoy!!

Today I'm excited to tell you that I'm guest posting over at Glued to my Crafts!

I'm sharing a way that you can make those ubiquitous Easter eggs a little more...mod....


I hope that you will join me over there and see what I've done...happy Friday!

Sometimes, the things that come out of my kids mouths crack me up. Especially since the twins have become even more verbal. Even when they are misbehaving, you have to laugh (and try to hide it!)

Have a wonderful Friday. I hope these funnies have made you giggle!

This post was originally created for my contributor post over at My Favorite Finds. But I just knew you'd love to see this project here...so here's my latest DIY upcycle!

Hello! I’m Rachel from Architecture of a Mom and I am so excited to be here at My Favorite Finds today! Carrie has asked me to share some frugal décor ideas, and I have to say that I am pretty excited about today’s project...a clock upcycled to a sunburst mirror!
