Can you believe it is May? The birds are singing, the pool is warm, and the sun is finally shining. Even though I live in Las Vegas, the weather can be kinda crazy sometimes. It isn’t always hot like everyone thinks. We had rain all last week. And sometimes it even snows. But that is a topic for another day. Today I want to take you back in time to my April Highlights here on What Meegan Makes.

April Highlights

I am well over 700 posts on my blog now. That seems almost impossible to me. Some posts are excellent and others, well, let’s just say they could be much better.

I have been in the process of updating and revamping some of my older posts. Hopefully they will be a little more desirable and eye catching once I am done. Cross your fingers for me, okay?

EASY Paper Napkin Banner with Twinkle Lights

April 19, 2016 By Meegan 2 Comments

Well, hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying some Spring weather wherever you are. It was warm enough here to swim in the pool today. It was a perfect way to spend time with family and friends. We also talked about my afternoon tea and how I decorated with my EASY Paper Napkin Banner with Twinkle Lights. I was so excited to tell them about my naked cake, the centerpiece and the tips on how to host and afternoon tea.

Since I have shared the EASY Paper Napkin Banner with Twinkle Lights with my friends, I thought you might like to know how to make one, as well.

Hi everyone! Do you have Spring weather where you are? We have had crazy weather. One day it is in the 80’s and the next day the wind is blowing with rain. Craziness, right? BUT, when the weather is nice I like to have my family over and it is fun to teach them How To Make Flower Cupcake Picks after we have baked a few goodies.

It is pretty easy and adds a touch of flair to your homemade baked goods.
