Peep Madness!

'Tis that time of year again and PEEPS are everywhere!

 

Some people actually admit to "not being a fan" while others, like my Dad, never met a PEEP he didn't like!!  ( Especially if you poke holes in the wrapping and let them get a little stale!)

 

A good friend gave me an idea today, PEEP INFUSED VODKA!!

It just SCREAMS Easter FUN!!

(Well okay, not really much to do with Easter - but hey,

Vodka + anything = FUN!) 

 

So....  I stopped on the way home from work and purchased my "supplies!"

 

Here is what you will need:

 

PEEPS, VODKA, WIDE MOUTH JAR!!  ( Jar is courtesy of my Dad!)

 

Here is what you do:

 

SHOVE THE PEEPS IN THE JAR -

 

I made sure they were all facing out - they look so cute don't they!

I decided to layer 2 colors and used 2 boxes of PEEPS in a

1 QT Jar

**NOTE -the PEEP colors will blend - so I will probably have an orange colored vodka.  Keep this in mind when mixing PEEP colors!

 

 

NOW ADD VODKA to cover, seal and put in the fridge!

 

 

Here you can see the liquid is already turning orange. According to all reports on line - this should sit for a few days and should yield a sweet marshmallow flavored vodka   - I wonder what the PEEPS will taste like???

 

I'll comment here and let you know in a few days!

 

WISHING YOU and YOUR FAMILIES a

VERY HAPPY EASTER!

Here is the FIRST Sneak Peek:

This 1 page 12x12 Layout features BEAUTIFUL Papers from Prima's Romantique Collection!

We will create lots of layers with this VERY VINTAGE Paper collection from PRIMA, and will use Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower and Autumn Gatherings dies to create a Fab-u-lous Flower and cute little leaves adding lots of dimension to this layout.

Distressing and accents will be created using Ranger Distress Stains, and I AM IN LOVE with the BEAUTIFUL and "TRENDY" Bella Blvd Green Feather! HOTNESS!

Lately, I seem to try to use the Unique and Versatile May Arts Web Weave Ribbon, when ever I can, and love the texture it adds to this layout! To soften it up and give it a little SPARKLE - we will spray a Paper Doily with GLIMMER MIST (surprise! surprise!), and even WATER DISTRESS a few corners for more texture and visual interest!

AND... I can't wait to show you what to do with another TRENDY and "Happening" product.... BAKERS TWINE!! - another one of my new "FAVS!" To top it off, we will add a couple of VINTAGE brass buttons too!
