"Watermelon" Pops Recipe...


I found this cool (literally) recipe and thought I'd share it with you guys! How scrumptious do these look?? I can't WAIT to try them out!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup sugar, divided
1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
2 cups boiling water, divided
ice cubes
1 cup cold water, divided
1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
3 Tbsp. miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 pkg. (4 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

STEP 1:
MIX 1/3 cup sugar and lime gelatin mix in medium bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to 1/2 cup cold water to measure 3/4 cup. Add to lime gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Refrigerate 25 min.

STEP 2:
MEANWHILE, repeat Step 1 using strawberry gelatin mix and omitting the refrigeration step. Pour into 16 (3-oz.) paper cups. Freeze 20 min. Stir 1/2 tsp. chocolate chips into gelatin in each cup.

STEP 3:
BEAT cream cheese and remaining sugar with mixer in medium bowl until well blended. Stir in COOL WHIP; spread over gelatin in cups

STEP 4;
POUR lime gelatin over cream cheese mixture. Insert wooden pop stick into gelatin in center of each cup. Freeze 3 hours or until firm. Remove pops from cups just before serving.

HOW TO EASILY REMOVE FROZEN POPS FROM CUPS
:
Dip cups in warm water for 15 sec. Peel off cups. (Do not twist or pull pop sticks.)

'Look Whooo's Having A Baby' Baby Shower....



(click pictures to enlarge)

Owls seem to be growing in popularity these days, huh? They are just adorable and make for a great baby shower theme! This should be simple enough to put together, too.

Start by searching online for owl-themed invites and thank you cards. Keeping the color scheme bright is a clever way to add more vibrancy to the normally dull brown and gray colored owls.

Decorate the favors with colorful owl-themed gift tags. The owl-shaped soaps also make cute parting gifts for the guests.

Be creative and have fun!

Isn't Argyle Awesome?


Why is it that argyle print is so hard to find in summer months? Sure there's an abundance of argyle cotton sweaters and adorable hats during the holiday season, but it was a bit difficult to find very much today. However, I managed to snag some cool pieces for ya (you can pay me via Vanilla Bean Iced Frappuccino)! Did I miss something? Feel free to let me know! Ciao...
