The tiny ribbon is brown gingham. The Top was made from Basic Grey Porcelain at 6x4 1/2 scored using the score it folded and then punched w/MS punch and attached to Wilton food safe bag. The tiny shreds of paper in the bottom. The scallop Happy Summer was printed on my computer using the curlz mt at 28 then punched with the scallop SU punch. The lemons are from LAB cut at three and then cut to look like a wedge. This is my favorite part. The square was cut from George at three and then cut at each corner to make the pinwheel. Queen and Co. brad and yellow gingham ribbon. A very tiny piece of dowel rod. Now just imagine sitting in the sun the wind blowing and drinking a cool glass of iced tea. TFL!!!!

Peanut Butter Eggs ~ Happy Easter~

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!! Description: Hello everyone I had made these eggs for my children and my neighbors. They are soooo yummmy! I had a time keeping them out of them. LOL!

RECIPE:
1/2 stick of melted margarine
2 cups of powered sugar Domino
1 12 oz. of Jiff smooth of crunchy
1 tsp. of real vanilla
2 Tbs. of milk
Mix together and form into eggs, usually makes 4-5 eggs. Then chill in refrig, for at least 2-3 hours. Dip in choc. you can use choc. chip morsals, choc. bark, or choc. from the Wilton section. I used choc. from the cake store and paramount crystals (which is a wax for dipping). Heat choc. in microwave 3o seconds each time stop and stir.when almost melted stop heating and dip...choc. will overhat quickly and absolutely no water near choc. one drop will ruin. Make sure bowl is dry. Thanks for letting me share. I have been making these since I was about 20 years old and make them every year. My family expects it!!! LOL!
