Easter's on its way...

I made a quick trip down to Dallas today to play Easter Bunny and deliver some goodies to my cousins. I had filled cute little felt pails with candy, pencils, etc. They were wrapped in cellophane and tied with an adorable springy looking ribbon, complete with green and pink tags I had made. Why am I being so descriptive? Because they were so freakin' cute and I forgot to take a photo before I delivered them!

What necessitated their delivery today was that I had made a few cookies yesterday and wanted to include them with their treats...


I spent the better part of all day yesterday making cookies! I made daisies...

Easter Bonnets...

Easter Eggs...

Bunny Butts...
Lots and Lots of Bunny Butts!

While down in Dallas, I made a pit stop at one of my favorite nurseries
They are a great place to go for something a little different. Of course they have all the standard stuff too, but it is a little pricey (probably worth it...their geraniums are to die for, but pricey)

Anyway, ever since I went to the arboretum last week, I have been obsessed with the idea of getting some Voodoo Fuchsias. I figured Nicholson was a good place to look for them. They didn't have Voodoo Fuchsias, but they did have something called Shadow Dancer Fuchsias which the expert there said could tolerate our heat a little better than the Voodoos. They look similar...
Would you just look at them...
Fabulous!
I also got a different variety of impatients to mix in with the fuchsias. They are called Butterfly Impatients and are a dwarf variety so they won't get as big as the regular old impatients...
I'm afraid that this is going to necessitate some work in the near future!

I love the bunny butts! Your easter eggs look much better than mine. I made crosses for the holy week service, tomorrow. The flowers you bought are beautiful. The weather, today, has given me spring fever and in the mood to plant flowers.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
