Creations, Spring Things!

These past few winter days have made many of us a little crazy…

In the South there’s a famous saying

So I’m embracing crazy today with crazy Spring recipes and crafts,

it’s time to have some fun!

Hop into Spring with a Cottontail Cocktail,

it’s made with cake flavored vodka {or milk for a no alcohol version}

cream of coconut, vanilla ice cream 😋

Make a Crazy Daisy Wreath to chase those winter blues away!

Serve up a Crazy Spring Radish Pizza,

topped with fresh radish slices, asparagus, salami or prosciutto,

it’s crazy good!

And how about a Crazy Good Broccoli Salad,

this might be my favorite salad

Or get crazy and serve a Spring Thanksgiving dinner,

smoked turkey with white BBQ sauce and shortcut sides

And you’ve got to have a crazy cake for dessert…

like this Bird’s Nest Cake

I have always been crazy for carrots,

and love to decorate with them in the Spring

You can see lots of carrot decor here

You could make a Spring Chick Baskets to delight a friend,

full of springtime goodies

I got a little crazy with the beach house tree this week

I tucked in a Fanciful Bunny

And also a duck

A bigger Fanciful Bunny is sitting at the base with his big sparkling blue egg

This crazy fun was a nice distraction from the cold temps outside!

I’m going to leave you with another Southern saying…

I hope you’re staying safe, happy and warm,

and it’s ok to go a little crazy sometimes!

    You crazy girl! 😄 Love your fun-loving, free crazy spirit! We were just dumped on with 15″ inches of snow and 3″ -5″ more coming tonight. I can appreciate your crazy fun. I need to get on board to drive some of the winter blues away! Hehe Thanks Jenna!

    This was just what I needed for this rainy cold day over here in Georgia–your post cheered me up. And your quote sent me looking for a few more–“His cornbread ain’t done in the middle,” or “She’s a sweet old lady, but yeah, she’s definitely half a bubble off plumb,” and one I heard the other day while watching the movie Class Action with Gene Hackman—Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (who was playing his daughter) referred to someone a bit confused as someone who was “a few sandwiches short of a picnic.” I can assure you that ALL these expressions fit my relatives . . . on both sides.– Georgia Gal

    I love your tree!!!! It is adorable. I’m trying to ignore the cake because I gave-up sweets for Lent. Day three and I’m not a happy camper! Make me a cake for Easter, Jenna! ;P

  17. Such a fun and colorful posts. Love the bunny and duck beach tree. Darling cake with a nest. Your carrot decor is so sweet. I always adore your doodles as well. Have a lovely weekend.

    Jenna, you make me laugh with your southern saying.
    I’ve got crazy in my life right now, but as a Yankee gal, I slamming the door – then reaching for a drink 🙂
    One way or another we all end up drinking.
