I am in love with footed plates and bowls, as well as tiered plates and cupcake stands. I noticed I have quite a few homemade versions on my Pinterest Things to Make page. So I thought it would be fun to round them up here today. I have yet to make one of these, but I really want to. There are some really fun ones! These types of plates are so fun for parties and buffet tables. They just really make things feel special!

Pinteresting Tuesdays- How to use up all those Easter PEEPS!
Peeps are pretty much a must at Easter time. I mean, how can you NOT buy them? They are so cute with their little faces and sparkly sugar in pretty bright colors. I always get them for my kids’ baskets. And I think most of my kids like them and eat them…my kids pretty much eat anything made out of sugar! But I know a lot of people don’t like Peeps. So, I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of some things you can do with Peeps, either to make them yummier or to just make them into something you won’t be eating. There are some really fun ideas out there. So, go grab a few boxes and get busy transforming them. Or, steal them from your kids on Easter!
How fun would it be to get a box of these? Chicks with their bottoms dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. So pretty!

Pinteresting Tuesdays: Christ Centered Easter Ideas
Which one is your favorite??
I love Jesus. He is my Savior and my friend. Easter is about His resurrection, and his atoning sacrifice for me and for all of us. I try to find ways to keep Christ in Easter in my home. I remind my kids what Easter is really about. I remind them that eggs and chicks and bunnies are symbolic of new life, re-birth, resurrection. I remind them that lambs symbolize the Lamb of God. I try. But with the ever increasing commercialism of religious holidays it can be hard to keep the focus on the true subject of celebration. So, I have been looking for more obvious ways to keep Christ our focus at Easter-time. This round up contains the ideas I have found. I hope those of you who worship Jesus will enjoy this post!
This is a fabulous dinner where all the food is symbolic. Definitely check it out! Such great ideas and more fun than ham and funeral potatoes.

Pinteresting Tuesday: 10 Easter Subway Art Printables!
I thought it would be fun to round up some Easter Subway Art for you. There are a lot of cute ones out there. I thought about making my own, but with so many great ones out there to choose from, why would I? I think I will print a couple of these off, one that is about bunnies and eggs, and one that is about the Savior of the World, whose Resurrection we are celebrating!
Take a look and let me know which is your favorite!
Chalkboard art is all the rage. This was the only Easter one I found. She has a vertical version as well. I love it!
