Martha Candy Jar Link

I went back to find the link to making the candy jars...cuz you have to see Martha's perfect jars(LOL)! She has those (expensive big jars too)only the best for MARTHA! hee hee(we love her)!

Here is the link to the segment I watched on Martha Stewart.....the link will bring you to the site ..but you will have to click on which segment to watch...just click on the one that says: Candy Terrarium(it will show a quick commerical and than you can watch that segment).

Martha Candy Jar clip

and HAPPY EASTER! It's time for the Easter bunny to creep downstairs and hide Easter eggs/and put out baskets(cuz everyone is asleep). So funny...tonight Aaron was concerned HOW the Easter Bunny would get into the house. He was talking about how the bunny would have to get into the garage......and would have to use etc....etc...he just was chattery about the Easter bunny tonight. Infact, he wouldn't go to sleep cuz we said the bunny would be here in mid morning hours. So he was probably excited about catching a glimpse. LOL!

Easter-Eye Candy Fun

These are the Candy Jars I was talking about......that I made.....from Inspiration from watching Martha Stewart the other day. Martha always has some good ideas. I thought I would give it a try. I found some cute jars at Pier 1 imports(the big big jars were almost 50 bucks-yikes/so I went with the smaller jars-20 bucks instead). Only my bunny was kinda large for the jar-LOL!

I bought some Jelly beans-I originally was going for the one color jelly look but couldn't find anywhere to buy single color jelly beans. So I went with this pastel jelly instead. I added some foiled treats inside the jars too. My poor bunny looks like he's drowning in jelly beans~ha! I bought even smaller jars to compliment the larger jar. I added to those smaller foiled choco bunnies.

I am going to use my candy jars for the centerpiece at our Sunday Easter Dinner table.

Below is a pix of Martha's jars....her jars are perfect of course! There is a video on her site of how she made her jars too. I would link but I didn't save it.
smaller jars:

All 3 jars: Not on the table yet

I recently decorated our eggs........remember the kit I bought from William-Sonoma?
This plus This:
Plus this:
and this:

Equals this=


Yes, we made the chix family again...the front chix is mine/Doug made the other two chixs(he's good right?) Love a man that can decorate an egg!!! hee hee

Below is some fake eggs I bought but here is what you can do with em(not the plastic eggs but the one in the box)
Added them to a couple fun glass jars(inherited by my mom-love those jars).

Here they are on display but I moved them to my dining room hutch. I like the glitzy look of those eggs. Have to use them next year too.
Made Aaron's Easter baskets with this stuff...so this equals this:

Love the sponge bob bucket!
Here they are all together. Yes, he gets alot but he won't eat candy ......so I get him bunch of toy junk instead. Good for the teeth.....bad on the pocket book~LOL!

Made my party favors for Easter Sunday too/for our dining table.

Full of sweet candy goodness(not good for our teeth-and this is the ADULT baskets-yikes)!

Thought I would show my new 3D card wreath. You can tell I shopped William-Sonoma! I thought it was cute even tho it doesn't go with any of my stuff(since this is Victorian cards)but I liked it-so I got it anyway.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Sunday! We are having dinner at our house with the in-laws. Should be a really nice easy going Sunday dinner. I can't wait! We are making our same old meal but that what makes it fun. Tradition-got to love it! I will post pixs of our dinner/Easter Sunday.

Easter Sneak

Easter Plates........................I found these cute dessert plates at Williams Sonoma. I thought I would use them on my Easter Dinner Table.

I am preparing to get Aaron's Easter Egg Hunt and the Easter Baskets ready. Aaron's been into sponge bob alot!!! LOL

I have my treat favors to make for the Easter table too. I will show you a glimpse at my Easter Candy/bunny jars too. Inspired by Martha Stewart idea. Mine didn't look quite like Martha's but I gave it a try anyhow. Ha! count down to Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter 09! I hope everyone's Easter was a blessed time.

We had a really nice day. Great weather for Minnesota Easter.

We had our Family Easter Dinner and Aaron had a Egg Hunt and enjoyed his Easter Loot Baskets.

I have multi photos of the events below.

We colored Eggs right before Easter and had alot of fun. That Easter kit was a hit.

I even made a chipboard Egg display that spelled out: Eastser. Displayed them on my Egg holders with some Easter Grass. Check out all the fun:
Aaron's Easter Baskets, Eggs for Egg hunt, Treasures for inside the eggs, Coloring Eggs, William-sonoma Egg coloring Kit, The little chix family I made with the egg kit...I used Easter Grass the kit included and displayed my little chix family(that was fun and Doug help make the chix family), More Eggs we colored and decorated and we displayed them with Easter grass ontop a Cake platter Etc..., The Chipboard Eggs Display(Easter), and the Eggs Aaron made...with his egg kit(Dora, Wonderpets and Bee Movie).



Easter Decor
Bought the Easter Sign at Pier 1, Lantern lights at Party City and Table Linen at William Sonoma, Butterfly candle at Yankee Candle Company. Here are the lights up in the porch. We like em' ...might keep them around awhile.
Party Favors this year for the Table from Target
Easter Table Dinner For dinner we had the same ole dinner. Ham, Cheesy Potatoes, Corn, Asparagus, roll with Hollandaise Sauce. Tequillaberry's Salad, and Cheesecake for Dessert. Classic Easter meal for us.
This is my favorite photo of Aaron from Easter. He's getting so big! Even with the shadows...I love the light and how he looks so cute in this pix. I can't believe I didn't get a family photo this time around. Bummer! Was too busy I guess to remember to take a photo together. I did get the Annual Crochet Bunny photos. I will share those next. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
