Cooking and Crafting

I've been busily working on several crafts and cooking up a storm. Fall and Winter could possibly be my favorite cooking seasons. I love to make soups and bake up yummy things to eat, why not I can hide it under my sweaters - right?! I made this really yummy pumpkin soup from this amazing cookbook my brother gave us a few years ago called "The Big Book of Soups and Stews." If you even remotely want to make soups you should own this book!




I'm working on one craft I can't talk about yet, for a variety of reasons. One reason is I have two little girls birthday parties to attend so I can't spoil it for them, and the second is that Santa is bringing this craft to my two ladies also! It's fun times to try and secretly create something with eyes glued to you. What I can share is a preview of my Holiday cards for this year. Last year I started making my own cards, I really like it. Oscar likes to point out that it isn't really saving money. To which I remind him, it's not the money I'm concerned with, I just really like to create them I think it means a lot to receive something someone has put a lot of energy into. And let me tell you, these cards did take awhile to make (mainly because I had to make so many).
