If you've never made a poke cake, here's how:
Although I'd love a party with just cake, savory food is a good idea too... I LOVE deviled eggs! I make mine with mayo, mustard and my secret ingredient... dill mix. I use Pampered Chef's, but any dill dip mix will work. They come out so tasty and delicious! Of course they're even yummier served on a vintage milk glass deviled egg tray!
And of course doing something crafty at a party is a MUST!
These eggs are super easy to make. All it takes is pretty scrapbook paper torn into strips, mod podge watered down just a bit and plastic eggs! Let them dry on wax paper and the next day they're all ready to go in a pretty basket or bowl. For simple "Easter grass", shred some scrapbook paper in a paper shredder... I took mine to work, since I don't have a paper shredder at home. Everyone can make eggs to take home. They can carry them on plastic coated paper plates so they can finish drying at home.
Vintage place card holders with old fashioned postcards make great table decorations!

I am a new blogger and this is my very first Blog Party.
Thanks for inviting us into your blog.. Great Party.. Have fun!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have some fabulous photos on this site.
RYC: I've decided writing a novel isn't something "anybody" can do, in the same way that making an afghan or 6-course meal isn't something anybody could do; it's not the intelligence or ability that's lacking, it's the interest and drive to sustain the project.
(I give my newbie-advice for beginning novelists tomorrow, if you're interested in that sort of thing.)
Happy partying!
I love vintage things! I just got back from my local antique mall, in fact. :) Nice to meet you!
I love pink, chocolate, and vintage too! Are we related? ;)

Great party!

Hi Angie!
I too love all things vintage and crafting, so I am glad I discovered your blog through UBP. What a neat idea about the Easter eggs!
c
Love the recipes, thanks!
THe jello cake is a fab idea!
Yummy..... the deviled eggs and jello cake would be so tasty now. Too bad and can't take them out of the computer. I'm seriously thinking about making some eggs tomorrow. My grandma used to make that cake all the time and even kept in the freeze for when I came over. I actually taste pretty good barely unthawed.
WOW! 29 and mom to 6? You're a busy person!
I am a brand new blogger and really enjoying the party. You had me with the deviled eggs and poke cake, two all time favorites. I can't wait to continue to read your bog. I am going to be a follower. Thanks.

I just love this blog. Those eggs are beautiful! Sophie and I will do that next week. You do sound like a busy girl, but it all sounds awesome. Working with children doing arts and crafts would be my ideal.
You have a cool site. I am going to show it to my mom. She told me about the blog party at 5min4moms, so I wanted to visit your site. My name is Becca and I have a website about cooking and easy recipes for kids. Have your kids who like to cook stop by for a visit. We have videos of other kids cooking to make cooking easier. Thank you and have fun at the blog party!
cool recipes
Stopping by from UBP. I also totally dig develed eggs. Good luck!

Hey, amazing blog. I am happy to be part of your party.
I love deviled eggs, but I had never heard of a poke cake! I will have to try it. Hope you are enjoying the party.
Hi Angie,
I saw your link to this site from healthy me on the UBP09. Wow, you are so creative - seriously. I am so impressed with all I saw on your site. How do you find the time with 6 kiddos and your hubby not even in the same state. I will definitely have to check back to get some great ideas from you. Oh and I want some of that green cake - yum!
I've seen & eaten a poke cake but never made one. I should bake one with my childrens help...I like to include them. They would enjoy eating this fun cake. I must get a move on...I only have a 4th of the 20 required visited =)
It's so nice to meet you Angie! What a great blog you have. I'm definitely a follower now and can't wait to get you know you better!
Great idea to make your own shredded paper. I'm not crafty at all so something like that is really cool. Well it's nice meeting you here at the party.
-Carrie
