Really need to get back to Blogging




I haven't been on here in forever but have decided to try to make a real effort at blogging again. my new Cricut machine is due to arrive tomorrow and I am so excited . I have waited for so long to get one. I have looked at every youtube and learned everything I can so I will be ready to get started as soon as I can.


well tonight I am creating a big pot of my new soup for dinner. it is sooooo goood. I don't have a name for my new soup yet but here is the recipe if your interested.


1 qt canned tomatoes


1 qt chicken broth


2 Tablespoons chicken soup base


1 qt hot water


4 carrots peeled and cut up


1/2 head of cabbage sliced up thin


1 small onion diced


2 cloves of garlic

1/2 bag of spinach


I shake in a little sea salt and parsley to taste


this cooks on the stove or in a crock pot on low for several hours


then I add 1 roll Hillshire farms smoked sausage cut up in small pieces and cook at least another hour. tastes even better the next day. freezes very well.


well, I also wanted to show you some of my new cards I have been creating lately. of course I highly expect them to get a whole lot better when my expressions machine gets here but here is a pic of what I'm doing without it.These cards are for sale on my etsy page at http://www.whitebirdscrapper.etsy.com I will try to add more pics of things I'm working on real soon.
