Peeps in our Cocoa....Halloween is coming!

Things have been crazy around here...not too much crafting time. So many projects in line though. Just a fun quick post. Halloween is starting to take life in our house.
These mugs are from Starbucks. I past them up the first time I saw them because they're close to ten bucks a pop and there were plenty of them...the next time the little guy and I spied them, there were only two left and since there is a Starbucks in our Target and we already had our peeps in our cart, we had to have'em! And by the way I think peeps are DEEEEsgusting! Sorry peep lovers! I do so love them for decorating treats though and I guess I'm weird because most people like these little sugary blobs. I just love there cuteness. Oooh I see many ideas for future cups of holiday cocoa here they have so many for all the holidays!

We are on the lookout for the chocolate black kitty peeps I can't seem to find them. If you've seen these babies please let me know where. On Halloween night we will have the grandparents and aunts and uncles over. We will be serving these spooky cups o' cocoa for sure! Have you been watching Martha Stewart? I just started Tivo-ing her show again. She has the best halloween crafts! I'm sure I'll be posting some of those ideas!

I would never have thought to put Peeps in cocoa. Brilliant.

Martha was our drug of choice at the holidays when Frankie was a kid. She still likes to watch Martha around Halloween and then again at Christmas. This makes me want to watch a little Martha myself.

Peeps are nasty! Although we use to have a dog that loved them big time..you could set up all sorts of treats on the floor let her go and she would always go straight for the peeps (or marshmallows) then onto the other goodies. It was always so funny...

Hia
Firstly I have never heard of 'peeps' they are so not available over here in the UK, and peeps to me is a people!!! (So I couldnt understand what you were going on about at first lol)
I love halloween, but its just not celebrated that much over here, you get a few little un's doing trick or treat and thats it. My little boy has just started beavers and he has a party there but thats it!
I've decided to make up some little halloween bags for his class mates (he's only in year one) just so I can be creative really - lol. x
Love those mugs though, will have to check out starbucks here for some. x

Love your photos and those 'peeps' look so cute!! We dont get them over here but im thinking some marshmallows will go down a treat with the kids! :)

I love Martha but we dont get her shows over here either - im missing out on lots here but visit her website for ideas and must admit i love the woman!! lol

Whats wrong with you? lol, You dont like PEEPS??? I used to love them as a little girl and continue to let my mother think so who sends me BUNNIES every EASTER. I am sure at agee 33 I have had them in every color!!!

I loved all the Halloween glitter projects MArtha had on the other day, now if I liked her maybe I could watch a whole show. Something about her just annoys me!!!

Hey Miss Dena!

LOVE the first photo with the cute ghost. When I was little I LOVED Peeps. Of course I only remember them being around at Easter then. Now, they kind of gag me! LOL! I've never tried them in cocoa, but they sure do make for a cute presentation. Thanks for the kind words about my shower bags. Do you believe I went to three thrift stores to find another vintage sheet to make another batch, and I couldn't find one. That's unbelievable. I always pass them up, and now I can't find one! AAARGH!!!! I called my insurance today about the pipe, and some of it MAY be covered. An adjuster is going to come up. I'll keep everyone posted on my blog! I'm feeling better, so you guys all stay well too!

I had never thought to use peeps in hot cocoa...I know DUH! but anyhow I found the chocolate cats at JoAnn fabrics near the Halloween decor. I couldn't pass them up!

Your website is so fun! I came across it by accident (I was researching sewing machines!!). I'm so glad I found your site. It's been keeping my busy here the past hour or so at work. !! I'll be sure to check back often...
