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.
