Come cheers
with Chelsea!

Take a peek inside my life as I stir in a little spooky, shake up some cocktail fun and garnish it with the parenting wiles of a little monster and boo.

Hang out in my web and join me in a toast to cobwebs, cocktails and motherhood.

  • Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2016

    Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2016

    I still can’t believe we ended up spending over six hours at the corn maze! We definitely made good use of our time, regardless. It was constant fun the whole time we were there. It was also Dell Osso’s 20th anniversary for their corn mazes so a very special event to be sure. 🙂 Naturally, […]

  • Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2015

    Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze 2015

    Unlike my other Monster Gracey presents, this one was somewhat poorly planned and will be lacking in a video. As a tradition, the hubbs and I always go to a corn maze since we started dating. And it has always been the same one. The Dell Osso’ Family Farms Corn Maze has been our pick […]

  • Bailey’s Ghost Cocktail

    Bailey’s Ghost Cocktail

    I’m not sure how it happened, but over the years, we’ve accumulated a couple bottles of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Because of this, I really wanted to make something that used it. I don’t know if it goes bad or what, but these bottles are just sitting around, so I thought, “Why not?”. I took an […]

  • Just Another Trip to Castello di Amorosa

    Just Another Trip to Castello di Amorosa

    “Just another trip to the castle…” she said casually. Only any trip to any castle isn’t “just” another trip. It’s a new magical adventure just waiting to be discovered! My latest visit to one of my favorite places this past Saturday was exactly that. My husband was out of town with my sister, attending a convention. […]

  • Clue Carousal

    Clue Carousal

    The Clue Carousal was a major success for our first party in our new apartment! We ended up having a total of 18 guests. Since Erick and I started our own parties, I’ve never had such a great turn out. It was an awesome feeling. Not only that, at the end, lots of people were asking for […]

  • Dell Osso’ Farms Corn Maze From 2010 to 2013

    Dell Osso’ Farms Corn Maze From 2010 to 2013

    One tradition that Erick and I have made and followed through together is going to the Dell Osso’ Corn Maze every year since we started dating. It has been such a fun tradition and we always get such great memories from it. Dell Osso’ Farms Corn Maze 2010 We went with a large group of […]

  • Comikaze 2012 : Sunday

    Comikaze 2012 : Sunday

    Day two was a little less eventful. There were plans to attend just one panel and the rest of the time was used to enjoy and peruse the exhibit hall. There didn’t seem to be as much of a line on Day Two, so we stopped by Stan Lee’s museum. I was rather underwhelmed. It […]

  • Comikaze 2012 : Saturday

    Comikaze 2012 : Saturday

    There is too much to say about this convention so let’s just jump right in. I have to say for starters, that Comikaze really stepped up their game from last year. In just one year, there was an amazing improvement that was noticeable to all attendees from it’s pilot year. My complaints are small and few between […]

  • The Bride of Frankenstein Cosplay

    The Bride of Frankenstein Cosplay

    If I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it again. I LOVE costuming. Wearing costumes, making costumes…I don’t know what it is, but I love the feeling of making something come to life through your own hands from the book or screen that inspired you. Last year, I made the Bride of Frankenstein, inspired by […]

  • Elvira Cosplay Interviews

    Elvira Cosplay Interviews

    I’ve had a couple occurrences where I’ve been interviewed while dressed as Elvira. Although it’s not something I go out of my way to pull off, it is most certainly an ego booster. This interview is from Comikaze Expo 2011. I think the thing that sticks out most in my mind when I think of this interview […]

  • Elviras of Events Past

    Elviras of Events Past

    I think if I could only cosplay one costume for the rest of my life, it would be Elvira. Let’s explore my first two years cosplaying Elvira!
