Spring Floral Arrangement - Outside Topiary - Entryway decorations {{quick and easy}}

So today I was tired of my porch looking so dreary. It looked that way because all my plants were dead and very crispy. 
See!? Very crispy

We keep having a random freeze so I can't plant anything real. Boooo!  I decided to use some floral vines (past photo props) I had and Micheal's has all floral on sale for 60% off right now. Worked out perfect! 


Ooooh color!!!!

This is what the other before - before looked like last summer.


These are all real flowers and plants. So pretty. 

In the meantime while the weather decides if it's spring or winter....

 I purchased the green and purple flowers at Micheal's, had the floral vines and found these large flower decorations I purchased at Hobby Lobby last year. I used some to decorate the front office at the school and these were leftovers. 

I took the floral vine and measure to cut in half


I took out everything and filled with mulch. Why mulch? Because we had it. :) If I had dirt I would've used that. 

Separated with a wire cutter




Filled around the tulips 

The vine filled in the empty space perfect!


It looked great but I really wanted to add these giant flowers


Hot glued dowels to the back


Ta-Da!!!! 
I LOVE the color. 
I have two planters on my front porch and the other one has the blue and orange flowers. It started to rain so I didn't get a good photo of both.

PRINTABLE Peeps S'Mores Party Favor Tags, You Print - class/teacher gift

PEEP S'MORES!!!!! Yummmmmmmm!!!!!
We made these the last two years for classmates, friends and neighbors {{POST HERE}} and they are always a huge hit!


The tag was seriously bugging me because it was really busy, didn't like the font, too much going on with the bunnies and eggs, and the text color was hard to read...whew! Why didn't I change it last year? Laziness. After posting I would revise it this year I felt that would give me some motivation. 


I changed a few things and it still has a lot of text but looks better. Now you can download/print for FREE!!! Yes, I'm awesome. Stop it some more. :) (jk)

I tried two different size bags and two different tag styles. I'm very indecisive. I *think* we are going with the 4x5 bag and folding tag on the top. Maybe not. Okay, yes we are. ;)

Pictured is the 4x6 bag (top peep) and it seems  a little loose so the graham cracker slides around. The 4x5 bag (bottom peep) keeps everything together better. Both bags can be sealed and purchased at Micheal's Craft store.



I ended up not using the green peep tag because the yellow peep looked a little greenish after printing. :/ If you like it better let me know and I'll post the downloadable.
