My youngest sister Robin came over Friday and we was looking through our Mama's old recipes and decided to try her home made Red Velvet Cake!! And I'm so glad we did....it turned out so good!!! :) It was our first attempt at a made from scratch cake. I know Mama would be so proud!!
Until next time....take care!! :)

My dear friend Sarah from All Roads Lead Home and I recently did our Spring Swap and she sent me some of her famous Salt Dough Bowl Fillers. Sarah I'm so sorry I'm behind doing this post . I absolutely LOVE everything you sent me!! These swaps are always so much fun.
These are the gorgeous "Blooms" I LOVE the colors!!
Here's a few close ups....I just noticed I cut off one of the Easter chick's...Sorry :/
She puts SO much detail into each and everyone of them. And ages them perfectly!!!
She also sent me some Angel Vine. I have a big trencher bowl and need a filler for it. I couldn't find any locally so she sent me some. And it's a huge bag......thank you Sarah!!! :)
I didn't have any of her St. Patrick Day fillers so she sent me some so I would have them for next year.
This is another item I can't find locally...they are the big tea lights!!! They are about 2 1/2 inches wide I've never seen or heard of them until Sarah told me about them. I have a big tin willow tree tart burner that Sarah sent me in a previous swap and these big tea light works perfect in it!!!
Last but not least she added in these adorable muslin Easter eggs!!! LOVE them!!! :)
Sarah and I have become very close friends over the past couple of years and we have so much in common. One thing is we both are purse alcoholics!!! She posted about a new purse she bought and I LOVED it!!!! She is so sweet and went back by the store and checked and they had one left..... and it was 50% off ....well we all know what that meant!!! It was meant to be MINE !!! So I sent her out a check so fast. I received it in the mail in the next few days and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Thank you Sarah!! :)
I LOVE these swaps they are so much fun it's like getting presents all year long!!! But more than anything I treasure our friendship.
If you would like some of Sarah's Salt Dough fillers for yourself please go by and check out her blog All Roads Lead Home (just clock on her blog name and it will take right to her blog). Or go by and visit her brand new All Roads Lead Home Etsy Shop.
Until next time take care!! :)

I want to wish each and every one of my blogging friends a Happy Easter. I hope you enjoy your day with family and friends. I take time each year to reflect the true meaning of Easter. I'm so thankful for the sacrifices my savior made for each of us.
I wanted to share a few of my Spring and Easter displays.
On my next post I will post pictures of the fun Spring swap my dear friend Sarah and I recently had.
Until next time take care!! :)
