Team Sprinkles and Tailgate Inspiration

I love a good tailgate. 

Something about the crisp fall air, friends, and football mixed together. 

For many years, I lived in a college town where football was the weekend plans

I was lucky to win a gift certificate for Smidge and Pinch, 

imagine my excitement when I saw CUSTOM team sprinkles?

Look what arrived yesterday. 

My very own Penn State sprinkles!!!

Now for some tailgate inspiration

Vocal Point and Tailgate Parties

Have you heard of Vocal Point? It's one of my new favorite sites for women to share new products, tips, surveys, and coupons. They have invited me to host a Chiquita^® Avocados RSVParty. I  get to try out a few delicious dishes using Chiquita^® Avocados AND throw a tailgate party, um yes!

Speaking of Tailgate Parties... have you seen the Tailgate 2011 Throwdown? A challenge has been thrown down by the Florida Gator girls to create a spirited, fun, and CUTE tailgate party. 

There are some seriously great prizes for the winner. I have my eye on this ribbon wreath by She's {kinda} Crafty... only replace that orange with blue and white. 

Anyone have a good avocado recipe?
