Gettin My Move On

Good Saturday Morning! These last few weeks have been so busy for us. My oldest son (Sean) was home from the Army for the week with his GF, her son & his daughter. We had a huge family party at my house and it was so much fun. The room was filled with Love and Laughter!
Then we got sick...My daughter got it then I got it. Still have a fever and sore throat today :(  It is all good though because we got it out of the way before the BIG MOVE...Yup I said it. We are moving AGAIN next week. I cannot wait.
Spring is in the air and I cannot wait to get settled in and start crafting...I want to make some bunnies and carrots, faux flowers of fabic etc..The shops will remain open through it all...I must be crazy lol
I posted a Sale on Log Cabin Crafters for 10% Off your Total Order with Coupon Code MARCH12.

In Need of a Good Soup Recipe?

I found this recipe in a magazine and ripped it out. I pulled out the pile of recipes that I have been saving and started trying them and WOW...this is one soup that my entire family LOVES..which is rare!
It only takes a few minutes to create and it makes a ton of soup that you can freeze for another day. It is called Hamburger Vegetable Soup:

1 pound Ground BIeef
1 medium Onion, chopped
1/2 large Green pepper, diced
4 Garlic cloves, minced
8 cups Beef Broth
2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) Italian Stewed Tomatoes
1 can Green beans
1 can (8 oz) Tomato sauce
1 cup Ditalini pasta
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. dried Oregano
1 tsp. dried Basil
1/2 t. Pepper

In a Dutch oven or Frying Pan, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. I put this and the remaining ingredients in a crock pot and place it on low until we are ready to eat. If you want to eat it right away you can mix all ingredients in a soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Give this a try, you won't be sorry that you did.

Friday night was the 1st time my husband and I got out alone in a year. We went to the Local 11 Ironworkers Dinner Dance...What a beautiful place and the food was to die for. It was funny, but I realized that we didn't say one word on the hour drive there. I think we were both enjoying the silence for a change. Unfortunately, the Malibu Bay Breezes went down so smooth that the next morning was painful!LOL

My Princess got a new toy. If she is going to drive Quarter Midgets in a few years we figure she better get started now!

I had some time this weekend to create this Scrabble Tile Pendant. It will be loaded onto http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ by tomorrow evening if you are interested in purchasing one!

New Goodies but not just by Me

I am a member of an Online Community called Primmart. You should check it out sometime. It is chock full of information and great websites to buy from etc...One evening while on Primmart I stumbled on a post that included pictures of a recent craft show, when I clicked on it I instantly fell in love with this woman's talent. Her name is Crystal and she has an Etsy Shop, check her out here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Twiddlebugz  Here is what I purchased from her, isn't she just the cutest little witch? She looks great on my Halloween Tree.

I bought one for myself and one with green hair for my sister. Too cute.

I am so excited for the Primmart Ornie swap boxes to go out. Monday is the deadline for everyones Ornies to be sent in so it won't be long now. I am a tad excited to post a picture of my Ornie that I made and sent in. I think it turned out really cute and when I can I will list some for sale in my shop. In the mean time here are some pics of what I have been working on...
