White Chocolate Marshmallows- Cute Halloween Treat

2011-10-27T22:00:00.002-07:00

Are you looking for an adorable (and delicious) Halloween treat??? Well, here you go....

My daughter had treat week for her dance studio & I was at a complete loss of what to bring. So, here it goes and it worked! I googled and googled recipes and found about 3 variations or this recipe. I combined the ones I liked & it worked. These delicious marshmallows are dipped in chocolate to look like candy corn. So festive and they were a HUGE hit!!!

Here's the details and believe me if I can do it, you can too...

Marshmallows- I used the regular size ones, but today at the grocery store I saw the large campfire marshmallows that would be cute too.

Wilton's Chocolate. I purchased the white chocolate candy wafers, available at JoAnnes, Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I then used food coloring to color them orange & yellow.

I melted the chocolate in the microwave, following directions on the bag. I then colored the chocolate orange.

Put marshmallow on the lollipop stick and dipped in the orange chocolate. I dipped them about 2/3 of the way, leaving a little of the white at the base. I lined a cookie sheet with wax paper and let dry on there.

*Let the orange completely dry- I even stuck the cookie sheet in the freezer to speed up the process... yes, I was making these the night before and it was getting late- this Mom was getting tired!

I then did the same process, but colored the chocolate yellow. dipped the bottom 1/3 in the yellow chocolate. Let dry and wrapped them in a clear bag, ready for my little lady to bring to dance.

They are so fun and I can only think of the variations I can now make of these fabulous treats... Christmas, Birthdays, Valentine's Day & Such...

My girls loved them too! Let me tell you that they were shocked that I did make these. They had a lot of doubt but wow was Miss Peyton proud to share these at dance.

Enjoy! XOXO

Spring is in the air...

2011-03-27T07:54:00.010-07:00

WOW- we are so blessed to live in Arizona this time on year! Beautiful sunny 70' days, windows open, spring training games and the kids can play outside. I realize this is shoprt lived because in just a couple of months we will be locked inside because it's too hot to even go in the swimming pool, but we will take it while we can! Baseball/Softball season is in full swing, so as you can imagine the baseball shirts are what I seem to be making the most of right now. Top sellers are the shirts for the moms- super cute and can be made on just about any type of shirt you can imagine... burnout style trendy tee, tank top, long sleeve, regular crew, hoodie, etc.

I also create fabulous shirts for the baseball grandmas, nanas & sisters. Team shirts are amazing too. Fans want to be full of sparkles, so heck why not??? Here's some of the latest... If your team, school or business is wanting to sparkle too, please send me an email for further details- info@whateverz.com

I DID IT!!!

It's a Sign of the Times!
WhateverZ Custom Creations

YEAH- finally developed a Facebook Fan Page. It was a hard decision...how can I keep up the website, the blog, ebay, etsy & Facebook??? We can do it and what a fun way to stay in touch with our friends. It will also be super easy for me to take a photo & upload it.
A lot of stress goes into the decision...All the "What if's". What if I have a Facebook page with 1 friend, what if I don't know what to say (although that's not likely for me), what if someone steals my photos (happens all the time), what if Oprah calls and that happens to be the day I can't get to the phone because I'm volunteering at the girl's school. So, once I realized these thoughts were outrageous, I decided to take the leap. It will be an experience and thanks for your support along the way! I appreciate it.

Take a look, I have designed SO many bling shirts lately & I can't wait to share them. The "Back to School" shirts are the ones selling like crazy. The "Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, etc Grade Rocks" Shirts are SO cute and reasonably priced. Your little girls will be so proud to wear this and display how "big" they are getting. Breaks my heart and I must be in denial because I have yet to make my girls shirts for this upcoming school year. Although, my youngest daughter already has a list of request that she wants made for her new teacher. Starting with "2nd Grade Rocks", thankfully her teacher LOVES bling as much as I do, so I can keep her shining this year!

So, go take a look and feel free to join us on Facebook!

Have an fabulous week.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!! I hope you all had a wonderful day and were spoiled beyond belief!!! My girls & I had a great day- I never sleep in, but got to sleep until 9:30 today- what a treat! Yes, I was out until 2 am last night though, just like the good ol' days... well, kind of. I have sweet neighbors that asked me to help at the high school prom, so we were cleaning up and taking down prom very late. It was so fun and of course brought back memories.
Today my family and I went shopping, hung out and enjoyed watching the Phoenix Suns sweep the Spurs. YEAH!!!

Have a great week! If you love the tank- you too can have one just click here

Baseball and Bling Bling...

2010-03-07T08:58:00.007-07:00

It's almost Spring and we are feeling it in Sunny Arizona. This time of year also brings baseball to our city. It's great to get out and see a game. This is the first year we will bringing the girls with us to the games, so they need some cute bling, right? Here's some pics of what I've made so far. I finish one design and get called upon for another- it's great!
So, if you're heading to the ballpark and needing some baseball bling, just send an email to @ info@whateverz.com

Business is busy.... thank God! Seems like everyone wants a little something different, which keeps me on my toes. There's not a lot of time left over in my day though. I keep saying something has to give... I have new policies in place that were needed to help me keep my sanity. I get A LOT of special request to custom design rhinestone shirts. A lot of time goes into creating a layout for a design and is impossible with the amount of orders we're receiving these days. We can still take custom request if you have an order of 12 or more shirts. As always, there will not be a design setup fee.

Here's a shirt that we have recently created! If you are interested in one of these for yourself, just let us know. The Silpada rhinestone shirt was a special request and in 2 days I sold over 15 just from word of mouth! Amazing!!!

Hook 'em Horns!

Summer Is Here...

2009-06-06T16:18:00.005-07:00

Where oh Where does the time go??? School is out for my girls and summer is upon us. I love the lazy days of summer, but I have to admit I miss being on a schedule. Our summer will be filled with Vacation Bible School, Swim Classes, Performing Arts Camp and Playdates with Friends. I hope this time of year finds you enjoying the sunshine and hopefully some time by the beach or a pool.

I have been busy processing WhateverZ! Custom Creations orders- many of the recent orders include bling bling. Little girls (well, I guess big girls too) just LOVE bling! The new Birthday shirts are a huge hit. I have done several orders for baseball teams, gyms, non-profits and such. I have to say a logo looks so great in bling. It really shines!

Here's some pictures of recent orders I have been making...

Fun Gifts

It seems harder and harder to find a unique gift. I truly believe a personalized gift is the best. It really shows you took the time and some effort to get something extra special.
Here's a photo of some cute totes and tees I am proud to offer. The appliqued shirts are always a huge hit for Birthday gifts. They can be appliqued with a single initial or a number. I have adorable fabrics to choose from.

The sassy chocolate brown tote was made for my niece Grace. It can be embroidered in any color- I thought these colors were fun and really made a statement!

I can tell you the totes and tees are always a huge hit at parties.
