I went to World Market to get popcorn boxes, came home and this happened. These are candy coated mummy potato chips and not only are they simply adorable but they WERE delicious! First of all, let me share that the salted potato chips from World Market are bomb. They are thick and crunchy and perfect. Second, let me just state that these are so easy to make that ANYONE can …
Make a great healthy Halloween snack for pre trick or treating fun! I created these boo-tiful Halloween ghost treats last year and am excited to finally share them here on my blog! They are super darling and pretty healthy too! They are a great way to start trick or treating night. They work great for a party food too! To make them, insert a lollipop stick for each banana piece. …
Colorado Girl Scout Night at the Denver Zoo is one of our favorite Girl Scout events. This year BOTH of my girls have bridged up to Cadettes so we reached out and asked if we could volunteer to support that evening. I (along with my entire troop) am super excited to be able to have this opportunity to not only support the Colorado Girl Scouts and the Denver Zoo but …
Halloween is my favorite holiday. It would be okay with me if Halloween came along each month. The whole idea of Halloween gets me so inspired to create, make and celebrate! I got an amazing box of awesomeness from Oriental Trading on my porch on Saturday. I was on my way OUT to run errands and turned around and brought the box IN. I simply had to open it …
Sometimes the magic of the football game starts hour before kick-off. We love to create a game day celebration when the Broncos play; right in our own backyard. It’s like tailgating at home really, with a big grill. I am excited to share homegating with beer cheese sliders and game day punch as part of the #GameDayGreats campaign with King Soopers. I love shopping my King Soopers because they have …

This clay spider was made with Glow in …
I was in King Soopers today (just strolling along buying the things we need) and BOOM. This bag of M&M’s practically jumped into my cart. For real. No thought went in to making any decisions. My hand just reached out to the shelf, grabbed the bag and tossed it in. I have been thinking a lot about the season and what it will be like without Peyton Manning. I created …
Clay in the Classroom There are so many ways to use clay in the classroom. I love creating ways to connect with children that work and these work. My favorite clay in the classroom idea is a diversity craft that opens up possibilities for meaningful and necessary conversations about racism – a tough topic but one that must be addressed. Story Starters made from clay are great because the kids …
The Laura Kelly Design Team’s Back to School with Ellison series makes me so crazy happy. For starters, I LOVE these members of my team so much. They are so super creative and fill my life with such love, inspiration and fun. I created a fun little bunch of decor using the items from the Dollar Spot in Target with vinyl and my Lemonade Alphabet along with the Badges dies. …
It is not secret, I love Udderly Smooth so so so much. It works for me because my skin is super sensitive and with the dryness of Colorado, I need good lotion. After all, I wash my hands constantly to remove paint, markers and cake batter (amongst other crafty supplies) as I create the days away. I teamed up with Udderly Smooth and some of my favorite creative bloggers to …
