Saturday Snippets-DIY Barbie Bling, Spring Planters and Happy Easter!

I'm always looking for inexpensive outfits and props for my Barbie photo shoots:@) Dollar Tree had some dolls and while they were what you might expect (Bad Hair Day Barbie??? And I'll try my hand at repainting her lips later), there were some very pleasant surprises too...

Update: Just touched up her lips:@)

I love that the doll comes with holes for earrings-ack!!! I did have to poke the holes all the way through with a straight pin, but that worked fine. I'll... er... I mean girls will have a blast creating Barbie Bling Earrings from beads and simple jewelry findings. In addition to a cute dress the doll came with pretty pink shoes, so overall, I think this was a fun $1 purchase.

I planted some salad greens this spring and have enjoyed cutting off a few leaves for lunch every so often. This pic is from when I first planted it. An unexpected bonus, that's a parsley plant hiding on the left... I'll truly be tickled if that grows for me:@)

In this year where the early holidays were all bunched together, I kept the Easter tree extremely simple.

The good thing about fiber optic trees is they put on a light show and have lots of movement. 

The colors also work well for Easter:@)

And lastly, I wanted to share the beautiful violas Ma gifted me-thanks Ma! 

Happy Easter Everyone-I wish you all a glorious day!
