12 Days of Christmas ( Day 3)

A very special Christmas ornament,
to hang on my Christmas tree!!

( I still have to attach the poem to it)

Check back tomorrow for Day 4!

12 days of Christmas for teachers (Day 2)

I was afraid we weren't going to get Day 2 in  because of all the snow we got here in Indiana but we lucked out with a 2 hour delay. We got about 4 inches this morning and we have snow coming down again!! I hope it clears out before my craft show tomorrow.

Anyways, both girls came home excited and said their teachers thought this was neat and asked if they were going to bring them a present every day! Of course they got to say yes!
Here is the poem for day 2

Did you miss Day 1? Here it is

12 days of Christmas for Teachers ( Day 1)

I have been wanting to do the 12 days of Christmas for my girls' teachers for a couple of years now and this year I finally managed to get it together Some of the ideas I found online and just changed the wording , the other ones I made up on my own. Today was the 1st day and we sent in cupcakes ( I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped them)

I will post what they take every day but if you want the whole 12 days e-mail me at twocraftingmoms@gmail.com and I will be happy to send it to you!

Ground Beef and Vegetable Soup

It has gotten cold here in Indiana. I hate the cold weather but I love the food that goes along with it. Vegetable soup is one of my favorite meals but I have to have it homemade ( no vegetable soup out of a can for me!).
Here is a recipe that tastes yummy but is just a little bit different than your normal everyday soup.

Homemade Ground Beef and Vegetable Soup

1 pound ground beef
onion flakes
1 tbsp. flour
1 can diced tomatoes ( I use the ones that are seasoned)
1 can tomato sauce
2 cups water
1 tsp Italian seasoning
celery salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1 cup elbow macaroni
vegetables of your choice

Brown ground beef and onion flakes. Drain and transfer to soup pot. Add remaining ingredients except macaroni. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Add macaroni and cook until done. Enjoy!
