A little time consuming, but they look awesome. I decorated the small styrofoam eggs with this project. My attention span would not tolerate using the big eggs. I start pinning on the bottom and work up. This uses a lot of pins and sequins. Coaxed my girls into helping me. </div>

I found a packet of colored feathers and used a glue gun to hold the feathers on the egg. I started on the bottom of the styrofoam egg and worked up. I placed the glue on the bottom base of the feather and placed it on the egg. </div>

<ul>
<li>1/2 lb ground turkey</li>
<li>1 diced garlic clove</li>
<li>1 tbsp diced red onion</li>
<li>1/2 tsp salt</li>
<li>1/2 tsp pepper</li>
<li>2 tbsp chopped fresh basil</li>
<li>1 large zucchini</li>
<li>olive oil</li>
</ul>
Mix the meat, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, and basil well in a bowl. Cook
small patties in a pan that are the size of the diameter of your
zucchini. While burgers are cooking, slice your zucchini in quarter inch
slices. Drizzle them with olive oil and sea salt on both sides,
and grill using a grill pan for the awesome grill marks (otherwise, a
regular pan works just fine.) Cook zucchini for just a few minutes on
each side so that they stay firm and do not get soggy.<br />
Top your zucchini bun with burger, and add your favorite toppings. You can add a slice of avocado, tomato, lettuce,
mushrooms, ketchup, mustard. <br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">My new favorite toy for making Pom Poms. I looked on pinterest on how to make pom poms. Someone posted cutting circles out of cardboard and wrapping the yarn around the cardboard. I tried it and it SUCKED! I was browsing overstock.com and saw these nifty items below! LIFE SAVER! You can purchase these at most craft stores. I found mine at MICHEAL'S.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was on a yarn kick this season. </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I used yarn to wrap my gifts instead ribbon. While shopping around I saw the cutest letter ornaments at Anthropologie. They were a bit pricey. I went home and played around and discovered doubling some pipe cleaner as the base of my letter and wrapping the yarn around the cleaner made for some cute letters. </span><br />

They gave me a bracelet at homemaking(or whatever they call it these days) and asked for me to copy and make some samples for the women to make on Super Saturday.My mom helped me put them together. I had more fun shooting the pictures. I found some cute t.v. dinner trays and card file at the DI and took some shots!
