Last night on facebook, I posted a photo of a soup I made that is somewhere between zero and one weight watchers point per serving. There are lots of recipes out there but I really like this one so I'm sharing it with you.


Zero Point Soup*

Broth:
5 cups of vegetable broth
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
salt to taste

Veggies:
1 large onion
1 bag of frozen medley (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots)
1 can of cut green beans
1 red pepper
(You can add other vegetables that that you like as well. Stay away from things like any kind of potato, beans, corn, peas- too starchy and will add points.)

In a pan, spray some cooking spray and sautee one cut up onion and one red pepper for a few minutes.
Mix broth ingredients in a large pot and start to cook on high heat until it starts to boil, then turn to medium.
Add sauted vegetables, bag of frozen medley and drained can of green beans.
Simmer on stove for about an hour or so or until all vegetables are soft and soup is hot.

5 one cup servings

Birthday card

This is a birthday card I made for my Manager, Mrs. Janet Powers, she loves sea shells.
Happy Birthday Janet Powers

I copied and cut out a several different colors shells then glued a few together. Before the glue dried I started shaping the card stock, giving the shell its 3 D needed. Later when the glue dried I dry embossed the shell giving it more detail. And of course I used glitter to give it some shine and tied ribbons between the green and white card stock. Added a few flowers to the bottom corners of the card using small sea shells glued together forming the petals. And on the end of the ribbons I glued on the cutes smallest sea shells. The sea shell inside the shell is a secret, you cannot see it from this picture but it has its own Pearl.  Ok it’s not a real Pearl! I made that too.

This is the picture sample I used,

Bird Cookie Treats

Bird Cookie Treats, I Found this file a while back but I can not find the real sender to thank them for a great little animal gift tutorial. Now would be  good time to make this easy little treat for the little birds who are looking for food on these cold winter days.

You will need:

4 cups bird seed
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons of corn syrup
mix flour, water, and syrup together in a measuring cup.
Then added that to the bowl of bird seed.
Stir well coating all of the bird seed.
1. Press bird seed mixture into the heart shape or what ever U have on hand. But make sure you place on a wax paper. And spray the cutter with Pam (again use what you have) Press spoonfuls of the mixture into the heart shape with the back of the spoon. Place a straw in where ever you want a hole to hang from. Then lift up and off the cookie cutter carefully. Spraying the cookie cutter with cooking spray makes it slide right off.
To dry them, place the bird cookies in the oven on the lowest setting(170 degrees) for an hour. Flipping them over about half way through, or let them air dry.
Many thanks for to the person(s) who wrote this up.

Check this easy to make Bling Barrette from P.S. I made this..


If we’ve got one tip to offer up for your Fall accessory collection…make sure it ROCKS. Chanel had an all-out crystal ball with its Fall 2012 collection, as Karl Lagerfeld decked heels, cuffs, hems and even eyebrows with brilliant moonstones & rocky gems.  Fuse abstract amethyst, moody-hued quartz and shimmering fluorite to create a bold yet (literally) precious D.I.Y. hair accessory for a look that packs the power of Kryptonite both day and night. 


To create:  Cut a rectangular piece of leather (or leather-like) fabric to the approximate size of your barrette. Glue the backside of the fabric piece to your barrette with extra-strength glue - we used E6000. To avoid excess glue and drips, use a craft stick. Finish by embellishing with an array of quartz and crystals. Let dry completely, then style for an instant eye-catcher.
