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!

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!

western party favor ideas

Hi everyone! It’s Bridget again. Kim is still recouping from her son’s Robot birthday party (so much to share!) on Sunday so I thought I would share a bit more about the planning for my youngest daughter’s upcoming  birthday party in October. Last week I shared the theme and a few of the things inspiring me. 

And this morning, with bandanas, boots and buckaroos still on the brain, here are some fabulous favor ideas:

  • Hobo sticks filled with toys and treats from super mom, photographer and blogger Kelly Hampton. (This entire party was fabulous and she made almost everything herself!) 
  • Cute and functional, these Wanted placemat posters  from Mini Mocha are fun.
  • Trail mix bags (brown lunch bags tied with raffia and a darling tag) again from Kelly Hampton.
  • Adrian of Canyon Photography picked up simple dollar bin felt barns from Target added a few animals and sent each child home with a miniature petting zoo! (via Chickabug)
  • Adorable stick ponies to fill the pony corral from Pluff Mud Studio

As always, we hope you’re inspired!

western party round up

Hi everyone! My name is Bridget. I’m Kim’s creative assistant at the shoppe and I’m so excited to expand my role and start contributing to the blog from time to time. We plan that I’ll share a bit about what is inspiring us and I’ll manage some of the features, so start submitting your craft, baking and party ideas! We want to see them!

This morning I thought I would start by sharing a bit about myself. I’m a mom of three (one boy and two girls). My education and career were in pharmacy, but once my oldest was born I decided I really wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. And if you’re wondering what brought me to The Celebration Shoppe, Kim and I met at our children’s preschool several years ago and when Kim shared with me that she was looking for a creative soul to add to the team, I told her I was her girl!

Okay, enough about me. For my first contributing post (yay!), I’m sharing some of the fun and fabulous ideas that have inspired my youngest daughter’s birthday party planning this year. You see, she’s pleading for a cowgirl party!

  • Ruffled Dessert Table Skirt and Rope Art from Jen at Peas and Thank You’s
  • This adorable DIY horse for a fun lasso game from Restless Risa
  • Cactus Cupcakes at the Cupcake Gallery (I can’t resist a cute cupcake!)
  • Simple bandana napkin rings from Country Living  (I’m definitely going to try these!)
  • And my personal favorite, is the hobo stick favor from Three Pixie Lane; a simple goody filled bandana tied to a stick

Of course, the ideas and inspiration don’t stop there, so if you’d like to see other great ideas from around the web, check out our Pinterest board.

As always, we hope you’re inspired!
