Liz isn't feeling well so I took over the blog.
Strangers ask me all the time, "Collin, how is your wife so creative?" or "Hey man, where are you going with my shoes?"
It's taken years for Liz to finally let me share with you where she harnesses some of her creative mojo from. Popeye ate spinach, Gummy Bears drank Gummy Bear juice, Chewbaca ate Necco Wafers (this has yet to be proven).
Liz. Loves. Frosting.
There you have it. If you're looking to add a creative spark to your kidneys scrapbooking, try adding a spoonful or 3 of your favorite lard-based cake topping. But don't take MY word for it! Nah Nah NAH!

And I like to eat cake pops... mmm
my super secret food is Rollo chocolates ;) Shhhhhhh though don't tell my kids we have them in the house. I hide them in the back of the freezer.
My super secret food... Pretzel M & M's!!!
My secret super food, which now is not a secret is chocolate and peanut butter. Either together, or alone!
I love the apple cider doughnuts that are a specialty of a local bakery. Chocolate or maple frosting, I cannot resist!
lard based treats to be eaten with a spoon are great super foods.. i love them, passionately. but i love marshmallow creme even more. a spoon goes well with it also. i wouldn't recommend fingers especially if you are scrapping or sewing..
Got to be Ben and Jerry's ice cream. But I switched to the frozen yoghurt version so it's totally good for me. I would LOVE one of these kits. Mostly because my husband has finally put his foot down and I'm not allowed to buy any more craft things. :( So you'd be helping us both out!
French fries dipped in soft served chocolate ice cream! Nothing can beat that.It works for scrapbooking as well as for photography....but not for sewing. Too messy!
My secret super food is avocado. Nice ripe ones with a little salt and a spoon. After seeing the icing, I may be tempted to switch!
I'm with Liz - nothing like frosting. Sorry she isn't feeling well. Great kit.
amazing give aways! my super food...coffee or wine, but never at the same time!
AS we speak, I am eating handfuls of Honey-Combs!
Funny...my word verification is murdog! I son't (so don't) know why it's funny though....
Drinking hot coffee,
Eating a cookie or three,
I scrap with my kits.
:/ Ok, that was terrible, but I really love those kits! And I love when Collin hijacks the blog! Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm with Lizzy...Frosting with Graham crackers!!! They make the best spoons!! Amazing!!
well.....since I don't remember the structure for a haiku, I shall tell you my super food!! Brussells Sprouts! Yup...sauted with a bit of butter & brown sugar.
Okay really.....it's usually goldfish...fairly mess free when working with scrappy goodness!

Love, love these kits and would stive to make something beautiful with them! ♥ Thanks for the chance to win. My secret super food...used to be something yummy and slightly sickening I'd eat as a teen: Reeses toast. Peanut butter spread on toast, strategically placed choc. chips, broil in oven til chips get melty. My mom never knew I made this! lol She'd have killed me. ;)
I followed both blogs and facebook and came back for extra brownie points. :0 Already left SSF comment. lol
Umm, I'd have to say a glass of red wine. But no more than one glass. Tipsy does not a good scrapper make.

my super secret food is spoonfuls of peanut butter straight out of the jar. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for good measure. :)
Yep, frosting works. When I was in high school and college, I was known to take the spoon to the hot fudge topping jar....oh, that sweet sugar rush!!
Must have M&M's while editing pictures - makes my creative juices flow :)
Granny Smith apples are my super food. I can't live with out them and have one everyday. My mom even buys them for me when I come to visit!!
nutella! with or without something to spread it on.
Dark chocolate pomegranate by Brookside oh soooo delectable! Collin you are a wordsmith you should have your own blog!
Coffee in the mornings and sometimes wine in the evenings!
Who doesn't love free stuff to create with?? I love haagen daaz coffee ice cream almost as much. No ice cream can beat it.
My super food is ice cream. I don't discriminate, most any kind will do!
I agree with the frosting spread on gram crackers! Super yum.
Not a Haiku, but so much better.
I'm rhyming a little from letter to letter.
I like to eat sugar sprinkled on bread
then smothered with butter to turn arteries to lead.
It's thick and it's gooey, it's tasty as sin.
This poem so rocks, I better win!
Coca Cola. It's not so much a food but I could not make it through the day with out it!
My favorite secret food is gummy green apple rings. Easy to pop in your mouth when the kids aren't looking! They have to be nice and soft though or the kids can have them.
I liked frehand scraps on facebook!
I liked scrapbbok circle on fabebook too!
Collin, you're superb
"Giveaway" is the new word
So rad it's absurd ;)
milk duds--all the way!
well i for sure can't think of a haiku so my fave food is popcorn! love these giveaways
My special super food for being creative is... the paella. We are from Valencia, Spain and here we have the best one. Whenever you want, you are invited.
My secret super food is chocolate. I especially like the dark chocolate Dove Promises. They are the just the right size to get a little taste of chocolate and a mood boost without blowing the diet and having to put on stretchy pants. I love the little message on each wrapper too. Here is the latest message I got: "Happiness never decreases by being shared.". Seems keenly appropriate for the awesome peeps sharing their goodness through this giveaway!
Keri
I, too, love the frosting, but my secret food is semi-sweet chocolate chips straight out of the bag.
chunky monkey. it is the key to my sanity (and, of course, the size of my thighs).
Chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven..........helps anything! Love Liz's blog and love when Colin takes over! You have three adorable daughters!
Brownies. Brownies. Give me brownies and I will create.
My secret super food would have to be jalepeno Cheetos. I can't get enough of them. Not quite as much lard as frosting. But close!
Hello Hilarious Collin! First off, I hope Liz gets to feeling better soon...it's never easy on anyone when Momma is sick! Secondly, thanks for the awesome giveaways and chance to win.....my superfood is Hot Tamales candy! I buy them by the huge bag-fulls at Costco and speed through them while I scrap. :) I absolutely am in love with the 12x12 kit from Freehand Scraps!!!! Have a fab weekend~Karen
My super food is definitely peanut butter...by the spoonful, on bananas(another favorite), on celery, pancakes, crackers, pretty much whatever I have lying around to dip in it!! Now we know where Liz gets her creativity...where do you get your hilarious wit?!?! Those kits are to die for!!! I'd be totally over joyed to win one! I'd be apt to start a solo flash mob!!!
HC = homemade cookies YUM-MO!
...if you can get them in the oven before all the dough disappears...
...of particular charm are the peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chippers...
p.s. Liz would love cake pops...ever try these?
http://www.bakerella.com/
My super food is pretzels!
Secret food... Ice cream. Always good!
My super secret food is homemade hot pretzels rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Dunked in melted vanilla frosting. But straight white frosting from the can always helps me ace a test when I am up studying.

Without caffeine, I am nothing. My super foodie secret weapon is Lola Savannah coffee. I love the vanilla cinnamon pecan blend. It allows me to get up at the buttcrack of dawn and stay up into the wee dirty hours and get things done.
My secret weapon food this week is Entenmann's chocolate covered donuts!I alternate those with Cheetos and I'm good to go!!
I follow Freehand scraps by email AND on Facebook!
My haiku about Freehand Scraps scrapbook kit...(don't say I didn't warn you that I'm a terrible poet!)
Stormy days are fine
When imagination flies
Do chipmunks scrapbook?
Okay, I'll give it another try with a Haiku about Scrapbook Circle.
Summer is a treat
Memories are made of this
Where is my juice bar?
Ha ha....funny!
Following Scrapbook Circle on twitter as karenladd!

My super secret food is pretzel m&m's....followed by Nutella:)
FIANLLY!!!! Someone who shares my frosting addiction :) My FAVE is the true buttercream from a bakery, but Fluffy White by Betty Crocker will do in a pinch. And it's best when nice and cool..right out of the fridge. My husband always says that the cake is really just a vehicle for the main event, the frosting.
My super food is anything chocolate :)
My super food will be chocolate turtles!
Laura@beckcentral.net

My super food is bananas, really. I just cannot survive without at least two a day. :D
One of these kits

My secret super food changes all the time. Sometimes it's a smoothie from Booster Juice, sometimes a yummy treat from the patisserie, sometimes NIBS, sometimes cold lemonade, and sometimes PC Chocolate Chunk cookies. Can you tell that I'm pregnant? hmm.
My super secret food is whatchamacallit. You know, the candy bar. Whatchamacallit. Light, crispy, chocolatey perfection.
i LOVE vanilla frosting on cinnamon graham crackers and then topped with sprinkles! can't live without it & eat them for my late night snack!

Secret Weapon between me and the world = LAUGHTER!! Thanks for helping out with that, Collin! :D
Double chocolate brownie batter is a great one...eat it before cooking the brownies. I don't even like the brownies after they are cooked!
When I was 8 I went to a party and ate so many Red Hots that I threw up. You might think that would have cured me of my Red Hot obsession. Nope, they are still my secret super food, I even sneaked them during labor with my babies!
CHEESE!! my super food...mmmm!
Love me some candy... not too picky, just has to be chewy.
My super secret food is cupcake. Starts with feijoada, a delicious food from Brazil, and finish with chocolate cupcake. :-)
My secret food would have to be..Recess Puffs Cereal! Yum.
Ok, so I wouldn't call this my secret weapon or anything, but I always like to get Starbucks (especially with one of my best friends Beth) before I go to an all day cropping event or just hanging out at someone's house to scrapbook. I swear they put something in those drinks to make me crazy, but I can't help it. I heart Starbucks!!! P.S. I would absolutely ENJOY winning this prize! Duh!
okay Colin...most of you will just go ickkkk! But I love pickle, ketchup and potato chip sandwiches on good old white wonder bread!! I know...the only healthy bit is maybe the pickle minus the sodium! Love them! Would love to see these awesome lovelies in my scrapbook room right next to my yummy sammy!
The scrapbook was wonderful.. Love to them all!
what a fun giveaway... thanks for the chance!
oh, and my favorite secret food is... PB & J!
