Party Pizza Dip Recipe (and a Giveaway)

I think one of the hardest parts of most parties is the food. What do you serve? How do you keep it warm/cold? Will everyone like it? And when it comes to a party with teens, it gets a little harder. In some ways, teens will eat ANYTHING, in other ways, it's hard to satisfy them with good food.

There aren't many teens who don't love a good pizza, so that's where this yummy Pizza dip comes in. It's quick and easy when you make it in a mini crock pot and will stay warm throughout the party.

Ingredients:
1 cup Ragu (or your favorite pasta sauce)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
3 cups diced pepperoni
11/2 cups shredded cheese
Tortilla chips or Bread sticks.

Add all ingredients to your crock pot or food warmer.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Serve with chips or bread sticks.

See what did I tell you? Super easy and sounds yummy right?

And in case you haven't discovered the joy of crock pot cooking and don't have one for every size and occasion sitting in your pantry, I'm giving away this Hamilton Beach Party Dipper Food Warmerto help with your next party.

It's perfect for helping you throw the perfect party with it's 16 ounce size (perfect for any cheese, chocolate, or yummy dip) and perfect for clean up since it has a removable ceramic dish and lid. So you can set your pizza dish to warming and when you're done pop the warmer dish into the dishwasher. How much easier and better can that be?

Except if you do it for FREE!
You have until Midnight Thursday, April 18 to comment below and tell us your favorite party dip recipe. We will annouce the winner on Friday, April 19.
Good luck and Happy Partying!

An Artsy Christmas and Giveaway

This is a sponsored post by Crayola and My Blog Spark. All opinions and ideas are my own.

My little "Mini-Me" is an artist and crafter at heart.

He always has been. Ever since he was little, he would rather sit on my lap and work with me than watch TV or play video games with his brothers. In fact, I usually had to set up an extra spot at my work table with his own tools to make "stuff" with or I'd never get anything done.

I love his artistic spirit. We never worried about what to get him for a long trip, or for his birthday, or as a special treat....it was always artistic toys. When we got ready to move, I must have thrown away or donated a BAZILLION crayons and art supplies. I was not going to have that go with us. I am going to be organized and careful when I got to my new home.

Only a few days into our move, I found a problem already. I hadn't kept any supplies for the or 3 days of traveling or the 2 month hotel room stay after. But I didn't want to go buy a box of crayons that would get smooshed or lost within hours.

Crayola to the rescue!

We were given this WONDERFUL art supply case to try. Can I tell you how much I absolutely LOVE it?!? It has enabled "Mini Me" to let out his artistic side in the small confines of the hotel room. I don't worry about crayons everywhere, because everything fits so nicely in the case. He can carry it down to the lobby and color to his hearts content. He can sit on the bed and stay out of the way to make pictures for his grandparents. And he has even been known to try and sneak it to church so he can color during meetings.

The Ultimate Art Supply Kit contains 24 crayons, 8 washable broad line markers, 12 colored pencils, 8 washable watercolors, 1 paint brush, school glue, scissors, and colored paper...everything your budding artist needs to create beautiful masterpieces in "little bitty living space!"

We were also given the Crayon tower to try. I am so thrilled with this idea too. It's compact and easy to store, so I plan to put it down in my new craft room (which I just know will be perfectly organized this time around) so that "Mini Me" can help me craft all our last minute Christmas projects. (Don't be surprised if you see a few fun projects with a little extra crayon on them in the next week or so!)

I am really wishing I had this glow book back when the "Drama Queen" had her 16th Neon glow party. We bought the glow paint and the kids went absolutely CRAZY over it. They had paint everywhere and on everything. They enjoyed using it as glowing face paint and everyone had some on their face and hands before the night was over. (And don't worry it did come out of all the clothes and surfaces.)

But I wish I had seen this Glow book when we had that party. It would have made a great party favor, giveaway for the games, or alternative for the paint all over everyone. I just love how all 3 of my boys like to go into the dark bathroom in the hotel and make all kinds of neat and fun pictures. The book comes with markers that work on the special pages to let them draw cool scenes that glow and become "animated".

The hours of use, and lack of arguing, made this book an amazing addition to our hotel stay! I know it will get lots more use since it was a favorite with all 4 of the kids.

Crayola also gave us this Jewelry boutique. I'll be honest, we haven't opened and used this gift yet. I was worried about pieces everywhere, but I'm super excited to place it in my craft room and try making some jewelry with it. Is that wrong? I guess that just goes to show you that Crayola is great for all ages!

I've never been much of a jewelry person until I went to Utah and saw my cute Sister-in-law making her simple outfits outstanding with cute jewelry. Since I'm so cheap and don't like to buy things if I can make them myself, I'm looking forward to trying the Jewelry Boutique out myself.

The Jewelry Boutique kit includes 8 packs of Crayola Model Magic to mold 160 beads, 5 bracelet charms, 3 pendant charms, 2 shape cutters, a bead dryer rack, 5 toggle sets, 4 earring posts and ear wires, a bead punch, 18 gems, 2 necklace cords, 1 elastic cord, and bead glaze. That should be enough to get me started and hooked!

All of these great products were LIFE-SAVERS to my crazy life lately. I don't know if I would have been sane after the last two months without some great people and products that have kept my children creative, busy, happy, (and not arguing!)

And to help you have a creative Christmas holiday, Crayola has given me a set of these 4 products to give to you! Merry Christmas!!

Your Crayola Innovative Holiday giveaway winner´s prize pack will contain:

(1) Jewelry Boutique

(1) Glow Book

(1) 150-ct Crayon Tower

(1) Ultimate Art Supplies case

To be entered to win, let me know what your favorite crafting tool is.

Get an extra entry by becoming a fan on of our facebook page and then coming back and letting me know!

I'll randomly draw a winner out of all the comments on Sunday morning!

Good luck!

A Royal Giveaway

Sometimes when I'm searching through Etsy to share with you great favors and decorations for your next party, a shop just catches my attention and makes me sit down and stay for a while. That happened while searching for ideas for my Princess Baby Shower party.

If you'll remember, I shared this Princess Bucket by Lilybella in my Princess Party Gift Guide treasury..

Isn't it just the perfect addition to your party?

It's big enough to be able to use on your dessert table so it will add to the colors and feel of your theme. You could put decorated water bottles in it. You could fill with cookies or treats. Or what about putting your party favors inside it? Or even letting guests put their cards or gifts into it?

After the party is over, you can let the Mom-to-be take it home as a wonderful gift for the nursery! This bucket would be wonderful to add the little knick knacks in a nursery. Can't you just see all the little princess's hair bows and ties in it? Or what about putting burp cloths in it? Or those sweet little baby socks? Or even the great smelling bath items in it? Then the mom can just grab and go every time it's bath time. (Wonderful for one less thing to look for or worry about as a new mom!)

And when the sweet little Princess gets older, this bucket can hold toys and games in it! Or crayons! Or any of the little treasures kids like to collect. It can grow with her through the years, especially since it can be personalized with her own name, making this a treasure bucket that will last forever.

What a perfect bucket!

In fact, there are ALOT of perfect items in Lilybella's Boutique.

Are you having a Minnie Mouse party? She has a Personalized Minnie Mouse bucket that would be perfect as a gift or addition to your party. Don't you just love the Polka dots within the polka dots? I love those red dots with white polka dots. So festive and perfect for a Minnie party!

I know Trains are a BIG hit right now in boys parties, and Lilybella didn't leave the little boys' out of her great shop. Check out this Choo Choo Train bucket! Personalize it in your party colors, so if you're having a Thomas the Train party or a locomotive party you can customize it with the conductor's name and party colors.

Can you tell I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these buckets? In fact, I have a secret addiction to buckets and bags. I can't tell you how many tote bags I have and much to my hubby's chagrin, I am always looking for more. So imagine my delight when I saw these Oilcloth Totes in Lilybella's shop.

I've never heard of Oilcloth fabric before, so imagine my delight that this fabric is waterproof, stain proof, and almost indestructible! And it comes in some great fabrics. I was trying to figure out which fabric I like best and I can't decide between the Cherry Pie tote bag...

Or this tote with the Black Paradise Lace!

I can just see how great a tote this would be for my "Church bag" or for carrying my craft items around. Football season is starting and I end up waiting at practices ALOT, so I carry my plastic canvas and cutting supplies to work on projects while I wait. It's a great idea to always have a project in the bag that I can grab and go.

I know Mini Me would LOVE to have one of these Chalk Art Mats for all the time in the car and waiting at practices too! He's such a little artist and a "crafter" that he'd spend hours with this mat. It's the perfect size for grabbing and going, especially since it's made with the great Oilcloth material that will keep it stain proof and safe!

Can you tell I just LOVE Lilybella's store? There are so many great products for your parties, home, and those mom moments when we need to gather things or entertain our kids!

And check this out...Lilybella also has a Lilybella ONLINE store with more amazing products. OH NO! Guess I know where I'll be spending my afternoon. There are lots of great products there and even a spot to buy Party Packs where you can get your party favors at a discounted price for purchasing several at a time! So fun and so clever!

And to make it even better, Lilybella has generously offered to GIVEAWAY one of her AMAZING Princess Buckets to one lucky reader of our blog. Can life get any better?

Patriotic Napkin Rings GIVEAWAY!

You know when you're out shopping and you see something that you just fall in love with instantly? You don't buy it then, but it stays with you? Then you spend the next few weeks wishing you had bought it because it would be perfect for your next party or get together?

That's how I felt when I was going through Etsy looking for items to fit into my Patriotic Party treasury. There were so many cute items and I added so many new shops to my favorites....but being a paper person myself, I fell in love with these Patriotic Napkin Rings by paperNplastics.

I am so impressed that they were handmade from paper! I have no folding skills myself, so the beautiful lines are these just amaze me. I am just in AWE with the simple and classy style of these napkin rings. Wouldn't they be perfect for your 4th of July party? Or what about for your Memorial day or Labor day party? I think you could even use them during a Dora birthday party! So versatile and amazing.

So of course, I had to peruse paperNplastics etsy shop for other items, and there are so many amazing items that I just HAVE to have for my next party. (Do you hear that hubby? HAVE with a capital H!)

Check out these cute Pink Smoochies! You know how much I LOVE having photo booths at all my parties. These would be so much fun to have at a Girls Night party or even a Totally 80s party. I love how even the dowels match the pink smoochie theme!

What about this Teapot Mobile? This would have been perfect at my Alice in Wonderland party last week. Two of them would have looked great hanging on either side of my Teapot Chandelier. They would have hung down over the real teapots and brought a fun sense of whimsy to all sides of the table!

I LOVE the colors and designs on these Butterfly Cupcake toppers. Butterflies are becoming quite the rage with little girl parties and these are so intricate and beautiful they would shine on any dessert table! They would fit right in with a fairy party too. So cute.

I could go on and on because paperNplastic has so many great things that you NEED for your next party!

Do you need cupcake wrappers? Check!

Do you need a cupcake stand? Check!

Do you need flower decorations? Check!
