Two weeks ago I went into our local Dollar Tree store to pick up items for my grandchildren’s Easter Baskets. When shopping there you can find all kinds of affordable Easter Basket fillers such as: mini coloring books, crayons, markers, temporary tattoos, stickers, watercolor paints, …
Every year we love to sit down and paint Easter Eggs with the grandchildren. When we’re working with fresh eggs (not hard-boiled) we like to hollow them out and then paint or dye them. It’s a fairly easy process and the kids really enjoy making …
Years ago my Grandmother started a tradition of stuffing our Easter baskets and Christmas stockings with at least one of Terry’s Original Chocolate Oranges. If you’ve never had one before they’re delicious! They’re a orange flavored chocolate confection. Here’s a fact: Over 44 million of them are sold every year!

My grandmother passed away 5 years ago and I’m keeping the tradition alive with my own children. They wake up on Christmas or Easter morning and find one waiting for them. I like the buy the one in a ball shape (orange shape) as it’s the classic. You tap it on the table, unwrap it and you’ll find your delicious wedges to eat.
Each ball contains approximately 5 servings with each serving have about 160 calories. Serving size is 4 pieces. I will often buy a few of them, snap them a part and place in a serving dish when we’re hosting family get-togethers. They’re the perfect after-dinner treat. Not a fan of the ball? Don’t worry, you can purchase them in “bite” and “bar” form too!
If you’ve never tried one I highly recommend it. They’re unlike other chocolate confections that you find out in the retail marketplace. They’re great to enjoy during other times throughout the year too! I will often gift them to co-workers with a birthday card that I leave on their desk. They’re always appreciated by everyone who receives one. They’re delicious!

This year Easter falls on Sunday, April 12th, 2020. That means that the holiday is about 2 weeks away from today. If you haven’t started your crafting projects you still have time to complete them.
We decorate our home in a coastal style so a lot of our craft projects utilize seashells that we pick up while on the beach. The projects featured today use large clam shells and small slipper shells. Other than that…you’ll need craft paint to complete them. You can find over 150+ seashells and beach crafts on the TwoClassyChics blog.

2 Small Slipper Shells

Base coat the large clam shell and the two small slipper shells with 2 coats of white acrylic craft paint. Let dry. Use pink paint to make an oval-shaped nose on the large clam shell and paint the inner section of ear on the slipper shells. Let dry.
Use the black paint paint to draw on two ovals for the bunny’s eyes, outline the nose, add a mouth and to add the whiskers. Let dry. Dip the end of your paint brush into white paint and dot on the inner eyes. Let dry. Use E6000 Adhesive Glue to attach the two slipper shells to the back of the head.

Give your shell 2 base coats of lavender acrylic craft paint. Let dry. Using white paint make 4 tear-drop shapes to form the flower petals, having the points of each tear drop overlap in the center. Use green paint to form the stem and leaves. Dip the end of your paint brush into white paint and add polka dots around the border. Dip the end of your paint brush in pink paint and add a larger dot in the center of your flower and smaller dots around the border. Let dry.
To Finish: Take seashells outside and lay them down on an old plastic tablecloth or placemat. Spray each side with 2 coats of clear acrylic spray sealer. Let dry for 2-3 hours. They can now be used inside or outside of your home.
