wagon wheel cookies

Simple, incredibly yummy, only two ingredients and no baking cookies. You can’t beat a recipe like that! Keebler Fudge Stripes + Strawberry Marshmallows = Wagon Wheel Cookies perfect for any cowgirl hoedown and our newest party collection! Just heat a marshmallow in the microwave for seven seconds (the middle will get hot, but the marshmallow skin will still be in tack allowing you to pick it up with your hand) and then sandwich between two cookies. The chocolate in the cookies will melt slightly holding the sandwich together.

By the way, you likely recognize the light cookie as Keebler Fudge Stripes, but what about that dark one… ? That is the new, and extraordinary… oh my it’s good, Dark Chocolate Fudge Stripe.

Kellogg’s sent me a box of goodies a few weeks ago, one of the many perks of being a Snackpicks.com blogger, and these were my very favorite. As a matter of fact, I’m typically really good at portion control. One cookie, one piece of candy, one whatever and I’m content. But with these, I ate four the first time I opened the package and I never do that! {guilty, not regretful, grin}

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake and create!

10,000 facebook fans = freebies

We’re 10 “likes” or so away from 10,000 facebook fans and all I have to say is THANK YOU!

Thank you so very much for reading my blog, following my designs, chatting with me on twitter (@celebshoppe), checking out what I pin on Pinterest, liking the shoppe on facebook and most recently following my picture posts on Instagram (@thecelebrationshoppe).

You guys get me up in the morning excited about what I’m going to share for the day and I just want you to know how much I appreciate you!

Last year I gave away dinosaur and owl Valentine cello toppers and many of you have asked for them again this year. So I updated them a bit, adding the ability for you to personalize them before printing. AND I added a few more designs to the mix: ladybugs and robots! (These designs are all part of larger collections that you can see in the shoppe.)

Click here to download all four designs! Open the file, personalize them in the design font right inside the pdf (the basic Adobe Reader will do) and then print. It’s that easy! And I would also love it if you would share my free printables with your friends and family!

By the way, the toppers work best with 4″ cello bags. I personally buy the mini cellos (at JoAnns Fabric and Craft Stores) and fill them with tiny toys and candies as you can see in my post from last year, but you can also buy the taller ones for pencils and things.

ENJOY! And if you feel like leaving a comment, I love them and read them all. It’s so much better than just seeing a number in the analytics to tell me you were here! {wink}

introducing cowgirl collection

I’m truly excited about my newest collection, cowgirl. We had so much fun mixing modern design elements like chevron with traditional cowgirl ropes and stars. It’s perfect for wild west cowgirl birthday parties and baby showers!

These are just a few of the printable items in this collection, several of which can be personalized.

Including our cupcake picks!

Mosey on over to the shoppe to see more of our cowgirl collection! Oh, and those mini pretzels are the new Keebler 100 Calorie White Chocolate Pretzel Right Bites. I used one bag per cello and they are yummy!

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake and create!

rocketship {cake} to the moon

Our customer, Helen of Bonito Design, sent over these pictures and I’m in love with this cake! It’s a replica of my space birthday party collection rocket ship design and the baker, Ruthy’s Cakes, did a fabulous job! Not only is the cake lovely, but the board with the partial Earth is the perfect display. And I’m sure Aaron, the birthday boy, was over the moon for it! {wink}

Here are a few more details styled by Helen:

{Thanks so much Helen for sharing Aaron’s big day with us! You did a lovely job!}

easy Valentine marshmallows

My itty and I ran into the grocery yesterday to grab a few things and I saw these huge Kraft marshmallows on sale for $.50 (all sizes and colors are on sale this week at Kroger)!! Yay!

My first thought was to make Valentine marshmallows and use them to decorate my boys’ placesettings Valentine’s Day morning. Then I thought of their poor teachers… and decided these might be a better treat in the evening. {wink}

These Valentine marshmallows are super simple. You’ll need Karo syrup, large Kraft marshmallows, sprinkles and a toothpick.

Just write your message in Karo and add sprinkles. The Karo is clear so all you will see are sprinkles! I used this technique on smaller marshmallows for my art party collection, when I made marshmallow paint cans.

Did I mention…

because I really do! As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake and create!
