Leprechaun Lights!

My boys LOVE playing with glow-sticks in the tub...so much fun! So I thought why not share the idea with a few of their little friends for St.Patricks day!

Here is what you need...labels, a little st.pattys day bling, and the glow sticks ($1.50 at michaels, you can't go wrong!)

While I was getting the stuff cut out there ended up being little glitter shamrocks EVERYWHERE!!!

After you cut out the labels tape them on (you could attach them with ribbon but I was out of white cardstock so this was my best option!)

Then just wrap the wire around and tape at both ends...ca-ute!!!

Here is the tag if you would like to use it.  Just double click it, then right click it, and save picture as!!!

Lucky Leprechaun Cupcakes

This morning I saw some green velvet cupcakes over at picky palate and just knew that I had to try them!

I followed her recipe but used vanilla yogurt instead of plain, just because that's what I had...

Here is the line-up...

I am not a big fan of "boxed" cakes but thought that I would give it a go anyways.  I started by mixing the dry ingredients (cake mix & pudding)

Then I added every other ingredient and mixed!

I added a little more food colouring at the end because I wanted them to be greener!

ahhh, thats better!

the batter in the adorable little polka dot liners

mmmmm...

be-oo-ti-ful!

{I did not include the recipe and steps for the icing because I just used my go-to cream cheese icing and I have already blogged about it...probably more than once! hahaha }
