peep... peep, peep


Nate and I were walking through Wegmans (our local grocery store, which is awesome, by the way) a few weeks ago and they had the Easter candy stocked. Nate was instantly drawn to the brightly colored Peeps. They now come in every neon color you can think of, so of course a toddler was attracted to them.


Feeling sentimental towards the Peeps, I let him pick out a color and off we went on our way. When we got home, he had to have one right away, and I grabbed the camera. He was OK with it at first, and then had to throw the other half away. I think they were too sweet for him.

That didn't stop him from eating half of a few more over the course of the next few days. He's so silly. I can't tell if he likes them or not. I do. His dad doesn't. So, I can see him swaying either way. For right now, he'll just continue to take a bite and be done with it.


This page is made for the newest Sketchy Thursdays challenge using the latest Studio Calico kit. Click here to see the next sketch and meet this week's sponsor, Sweet Twee. Cute, cute stuff there!!

This page is also for The Studio 3/7 challenge:
Scrap a page and include on it some memorabilia from the time you are scrapping about!

I hope you'll head over there and play along. I have been MIA from that site for too long, but this challenge spoke to me. I knew I had saved the package from the Peeps knowing I would make this page. (Great timing, Amanda, you must have been reading my mind!) And I miss my Studio friends.

Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Aaack! this is such an awesome layout! Love the colors and papers and the story behind it! And I totally relate to Mr. Nate...I can handle one bite before I feel like my teeth are going to rot out of my head! LOL -- but they are good that first bite!

Cute LO. Love what you did with the ribbon and pins. I'm not sure if I like Peeps either. I like the texture, but bit too sweet. My Dad send over an Easter package every year from USA and it always includes Peeps : ) xx

love all the embellies on this page. yum! and i remember having loved peeps all my life and then trying them again with the first kids' Easter basket a few years back and thinking they were too sweet! i will still eat a stale, hard one, though. mm mm. did you see they now have chocolate covered ones, too? that's just going too far.
