SodaStream by House Party {party and menu recap}
Not too long ago Kim from A Night Owl Blog had invited me to her Keurig House Party.
I was intrigued, so I went to check it out.
When she explained the way House Party works I was blown away.
YOU MEAN THEY JUST GIVE YOU REALLY NICE FREE STUFF???
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING???
Word of mouth between friends and fellow bloggers is powerful stuff!
It's successful effective advertising!
And these companies are getting it for just their cost of their product.
It's super genius and I'm so excited that I was chosen to demo the SodaStream!
{each product only has a limited number of applicants who are chosen to demo}
House Party is a liaison between top brand companies and folks like me
who want to try products in-home for free and share them with my friends.
Basically, in a nutshell:
*I get AWESOME STUFF
*I organize a party in my home
*I get to share the product with my friends
*I don't sell ANYTHING!
*I just hand out a coupon or rebate form and
it's all up to my friends if they want it or not.
I'm not the middleman and I benefit in no way if they order or not.......
I already got all my free goodies!
Once you go to House Party's website, you choose which products you'd like to demo.
Then you wait.
You'll get an email asking you to go to their page and tell why you should be chosen to demo that particular product.
That was easy.
SodaStream is a fun way to make your own soda at home for less money and a whole lot less waste.
Boom!
I was chosen!
Once you're chosen you have to hurry and invite at least 10 friends
on a particular date to your party.
When I say hurry, I mean like I had 30 minutes!
THAT'S the only pressure in this whole deal. lol
Here's just some of what I got in my shipment!
I honestly couldn't believe how much was sent!
This is the SodaStream soda maker {there's a CO2 bottle hidden inside it}
and several bottles of flavors, plus 2 one-liter bottles.
Each of those small sized bottles makes 50 8-oz servings!
FIFTY!
At $5.00 retail for each bottle, that's only $.10 per serving!!
WooHoo!!
As the party drew near I put on my favorite apron from my bestie Janeal,
and got my bake on so we'd have some goodies to go with our homemade soda!
from I {Heart} Naptime.
Yes, they are as good as they sound!
Pulverized candy canes are inside that cream!
Most labor intensive cookie I've ever made in my life though! lol

THANKFUL Subway Art
This was my first attempt at Subway art, and I've gotta say,
I was surprised that it was so easy peasy!
I had ordered the vinyl {inexpensively} online....it came with lots of words, leaves, pumpkins, etc.
You can also easily cut out your own if you have a Silhouette machine.
Be sure to use a variety of colors and fonts.
