April is here, that means spring is well under way for most of us! This is the time of year when we are all thinking about tidying up in the garden and making the place look a little bit neater. We have been planting herbs, potatoes and other veggie type things. For those who don’t have a garden why don’t you get yourself some pots for your windows and get into the gardening mood too..

CONGRATULATIONS to Heather Lynne who has just had her baby Emmett. He is quite a few weeks early but arrived safely from what I have heard. Emmett weighs in at 4lbs 10 ounces!

the up for this month is Scrapbooking Scrapbooking - SheKnows Message Boards
Ashley, Christine, Jillian (check spells) are the hosts and they are busy recruiting new members, it would be really good it you could support them by saying hello.

"The scrapbooking board is dedicated to the art & craft of all things scrapbooking related.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

A cupcake
White icing
Shredded coconut
Pink decorators' sugar
Jelly bean nose
Chewable Sweet Tart eyes
Large marshmallow
Mini marshmallows


1. Frost a cupcake with white icing and sprinkle on shredded coconut fur.

2. Cut a large marshmallow in half widthwise. Squeeze each half slightly to give it an oval shape, then decorate the sticky side of each one with pink decorators' sugar and set them in place for ears.

3. Add a jelly bean nose and either jelly bean or snipped Sweet Tart eyes, and mini marshmallows for cheeks. For a finishing touch, draw on decorators' gel pupils or whiskers if you like


EMBOSSED EGGS!


THIS IS FOR ADULT SUPERVISION ONLY! The embossed eggs are great, you will guarantee no one else has eggs like these.
What You Need
embossing inkpad and embossing powder,
a rubber stamp with bold lines in the design,
embossing heat tool.
Either hard boil or blow out the egg. Ink the stamp with your embossing ink then sprinkle the embossing powder on it.
Use your heat tool to heat powder on egg until the ink becomes raised from the surface and sets.

You can use the same technique to write names on eggs or create a free-form design using an embossing pen instead of the inkpad and stamp.
