Food for my stamping friends!

Today was my monthly stamp club meeting. Due to busy schedules and vacations, we had the lowest attendance ever! I missed the ladies who couldn't make it, and I am sure they missed us too! I hold a spot in my hostess club to have one good month of stocking supplies that I use in our projects. This month is my hostess month, so I had to make lunch! I love that my club members bring a small, light lunch for everyone. It's fun and I have acquired some good recipes! I made both of my dishes last night so I wouldn't be rushing this morning. The first pic is a cold Surimi Salad. It was fantastic!!! It's basically pasta shells, imitation crab meat (Surimi), fresh red and yellow peppers, fresh broc, grape tomatoes, green onion, hard grated parmesan, and a sauce made with parmesan cheese, italian dressing and mayo. Definitely my new fave salad for summer!
And since I was doing ok health wise on the lunch, I sprang a little on the desert! This is a layered Creamsicle. The pic isn't great, sorry! I didn't think to take a pic as soon as I pulled it out, so it started melting. Anyway, you get the idea. It was amazing! Creamsicles are my childhood favorite that to this day is still top of the list of summer treats for me! I mean, who doesn't love Creamsicles? This tastes EXACTLY like one on a much larger scale. It's made in a 9x5 loaf pan, then I inverted into a casserole dish.

We had a great meeting, I will be posting our projects next! I love my friends, old and new that stamping has brought into my life! It's a pleasure to get to make lunch for them!

Easter Cupcakes...

I have really been crafting a lot lately, and have done well with updating my blog! I have another card coming tomorrow, but for today, I wanted to share the cupcakes I made for my oldest daughter's Preschool Easter Party tomorrow. I volunteered to bring 2 dz cupcakes, and decided to make them festive! It's yellow cake, with whipped cream icing, topped with coconut dyed green and 3 little jelly beans on top. Chloe LOVES them, she cannot wait for her class to see them☺. I stamped the bunny from Easter Eggcoutrements stamp set (sp...no catty in front of me) and punched them out, there are two on each toothpick held on with Glue Dots. The girls stuck these in the cupcakes! I have been SO good not to eat one!
