My favorite team, the Denver Broncos, will be in the Super Bowl this year, (YAY!)
so you know I’ll be having a big bash to cheer them on!
In my newest YouTube I share my Game Day Essentials.
I love to search my cabinets, closets and shelves for items to serve food
and use for decor for all my parties.
I don’t like to buy themed serving pieces I’m going to use just one or two times, it just seems
like a waste of money if I don’t get my cost per use out of everything I own!
I just can’t help it.
I’ll be using glass vases, hurricanes, small buckets and small paper bags
and more to serve food.
I saw this little project on Pinterest, which really takes no time at all.
Keep those aluminum cans and repurpose them to hold plastic or real serving ware.
So easy and thrifty!
I’ve already search my son’s room for trophies,
football and wall hangings to use for my centerpiece.
I’ll just place the trophies under books to give them different heights.
First, I’ll have to clean some major dust off of them!
People might think it’s odd that I consider Persil laundry detergent as a Game Day Essential,
but let’s be honest, when your team scores,
you jump up to cheer and dance and spill red wine or
wings or your whole plate down the front of your shirt,
you are going to need something to get that out!
No worries, you’ve got a backup plan for that wine,
wing sauce, salsa, cheese or what ever messy sauce you’ve got on your plate!
And…that is why I’ve got a laundry detergent like Persil on my list!
It gets all of that yummy food stuff out of clothes!
Now, you can use a cloth table cloth and really put the laundry detergent to the test,
but I like to do less laundry if possible.
I’ll also be using craft paper to create a table runner.
You might have seen me do this before, like a million times,
but it works great for cleanup and is very inexpensive, so it’s a winner every time.
I just take a marker and write out foods I’m serving or saying’s like “Dip for Bacon Lovers”.
I’ll also let the kids draw out pretty much whatever they want.
When the party is over, you can toss it in the recycle bin and call it day!
Works like a charm every time.
Watch my video and get some motivation to re-think those items
you have in your cabinets and closets and don’t forget to cheer for those BRONCOS!

Hi Goodwill Girl, so glad I found you! I LOVE Goodwill and make it my stop every week for decor. I love your creative ideas and what you masterfully produce from your finds. I’m a loyal Denver Bronco fan too and really enjoyed your Super Bowl party ideas. Very clever idea with the leftover soup cans, I’ll have to try that one once Bronco season kicks off next year! Look forward to following you “goodwillness”.

I live in west wash park and met your brother in my beloved alley yesterday! He told me to look you up! I am a alley rat and a thrifter myself. I used to teach art before I had my two beautiful children! I am now starting to paint again and am inspired every day by people like you who are doing what they love. Gorgeous pictures of your finds!!!
