AHS Creeper Crate w/ Jodee Bowie

Jodee was so excited to share with me that she ordered the American Horror Story Creeper Crate because she had a full meal plan to go along with it! The box was slated to be shipped in May but it arrived very late, so we are unboxing it in July. Oh well. It's exciting because the weather co-operated enough for us to film outside in Jodee's back yard! The video is quick since we were hungry and I'm very rusty at unboxing and my knowledge of American Horror Story. Lol. Recipes to follow....

Here's everything included...

1. Normal People Scare Me T-shirt.

2. Sister Jude Enamel Pin by Demonic Pinfestation. You can find this pin for sale on their website!

3. All Monsters Are Human Travel Mug. The quote is from the Asylum season. (I told you I'm rusty.)

4. We Are All Freaks collapse-able umbrella.

5. American Horror Story 1984 decal.

6. Hotel Cortez notepad.

7. Final Art print by Ivanshine.

Now for the food. Since Jodee's favorite season is Coven and it takes place in New Orleans we had a menu to go along with it!
