I was very ambitious with my Easter crafting this year–I know that with a baby on the way my crafting days are severely numbered!  I had planned on making an entire Easter village but only got around to this one house.  I have been IN LOVE with the vintage Christmas glitter houses that were so

I made this project on the fly and in a pinch!  I had made some beautiful strawberry cupcakes for my sister-in-law and I spent all my time on the decorating (the white-chocolate monograms) and not enough time thinking about how my beautiful cupcakes were going to arrive in safety and style at her house!
