An Easter Extravaganza ...

This week's Easter Extravaganza on “I'm With Stupid” was EPIC! I mean, we really nailed it this week. We talked Easter traditions, had a live remote from the resurrection, and uh, other stuff. Including our new sponsor, the Bethlehem Casino Resort and Hotel in Las Vegas where Jesus Goodbar is playing 40 nights at the Manger Room this summer.

Also, Dana just couldn't resist the “Click to Talk” button any longer and just had to try it out. So, now we know that people in the chat room can call the show via Skype using that button. I'm really shocked at how well it worked.

Anyway, it was another 45 minutes of non-stop fun and critically-acclaimed jocularity. Give it a listen if you get the chance.

*Also, you may notice that I turned comments off. It suddenly occurred to me that since I don't blog anymore, there's no reason for me to spend so much time deleting spam comments anymore either. Plus, this protects people from the urge to say something stupid. It's a win-win.

Bunny Hop Swap

I recently participated in a swap for Easter & oh what fun to get my own Easter basket of goodies!!

My hop swap partner, Cherish, sent me some lovely goodies. Just take a look...

Candy + Mags + Crafty Supplies = a happy Nikki!

I can't wait to attack that box of cards with glitter & stickers & ribbon & needle-n-thread & paper & glue & stuff!

Here are the things I sent...

Thanks for a happy swap, Cherish! And thanks, Pippy, for being a great swap hostess!

Happy Easter!

This isn't a picture of a cross. But, out snapping pictures one day, I approached this from a distance & immediately thought it looked like one. An example that there are simple reminders all around me of Easter's true meaning: the resurrection of my Saviour!

Happy Easter!

Baskets REmixed

I recently acquired several baskets &, though I'm not a basket girl per se, I decided to refashion these plain ole containers into something special for Easter rather than toss them into thriftworld.

1--Pink ribbon woven in & out of a basket & tied in a bow.

2--Vintage light blue rik-rak hot glued around a rectangle shaped basket & embellished with creamy-colored vintage buttons.

3--Oval basket with vintage strips of pastel printed fabric knotted around the rim.

4--Three equal lengths of ribbon are spaced & knotted evenly on both sides of a basket as a nifty handle.

And rather than using faux Easter grass, this year I'm using colored tulle in its place. It makes a fun filler dontcha think?

Easter Chocolate Treats

I purchased a candy making kit this week. I have always wanted to try making chocolate candy lollipops. It was soooo easy! Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Pour it in the molds. Insert lollipop sticks. Done. Seriously!! The girls & I made them up for their school classmates. I put the treats in tiny sacks with twistie ties & stuck simple labels on the back of each that read "Happy Easter!"

(I got this particular kit at JoAnne's for about 10 bucks.)
