It is Here!!!!

My Cricut finally arrived in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to start playing with it later today. My husband said, "that is what you were so excited about getting?" I said, "Absolutely" and he said "to each his own, I guess". They just don't understand, do they?

Got the job! Yay Me!!!

Yesterday, I was offered the job I interviewed for the other day. I am so excited. It is exactly what I was looking for. I will still be home in the evenings and only work 3 early hours on Saturdays. God is so good all the time!

Oh Cricut, Oh Cricut, Wherefore art thou my Cricut!?

So, I ordered myself a new Cricut Create about a week and I still have not received it. I have been patient, but, I am now eager to get my new toy so that I can start playing with it. I am hoping to use it for making some Christmas gifts and I need to get them started.

Job Interview tomorrow!!

So, I just got called for a job interview with a bank that I applied to for a part-time position I applied for. I have been looking for something part-time to cover the cost of my hobbies, scrapbooking and sewing.and just recently got interested in quilting. I hope this works out so that I can still be home to help Mike with the boys before and after school.

Home Made Zuppa Toscano Soup

So , I tried my hand at Olive Garden's Zuppa Tuscano Soup last night for dinner and it was fantastic. It was really easy to make and it was a hit with most of the family! You know how picky some kids are.

This is the recipe I used:

1 lb. Italian sausage ( I like mild sausage )
2 large russet baking potatoes, sliced in half, and then in 1/4 inch slices
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 can Oscar Meyer bacon bits
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kale or 2 cups swiss chard,chopped ( I used kale )
2 cans chicken broth
1 quart water 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

1. Cook sausage in a 300 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes
2. Drain sausages on paper towels and cut into slices.
3. Place onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, and garlic in pot and cook on medium heat until potatoes are done.
4. Add sausage and bacon.
5. Salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
7. Turn to low heat.
8. Add kale and cream.
9. Heat through and serve.

I HATE HEADACHES LIKE THIS!

Woke up this morning with a really bad headache and couldn't get up without feeling like I was going to get sick and pass out. Took some meds and seems to be easing some. I don't understand why I am having such a problem with this lately. I just hope it is nothing serious. If you are a praying person, please pray that it isn't. Hope this finds you all well and I will be getting back into crafting soon.

FINALLY GOT A CRICUT!!!

I won the bid on a Cricut Create on E Bay Saturday for $39.99. What a bargain. Can't wait to actually receive it in the mail so I can start playing with it. I also won a couple cartridges so I can start playing as soon as I get it. Will post some pictures of my projects.
