A Recipe {French Onion Soup}

One of my favorite soups is French Onion soup.  If we are at a restaurant and they have it on the menu, there is no need for me to look any further because that's what i'll order.  I had never made it before, because well, I always thought it was a soup that was a really really long process to make.  But it really isn't.  Brian and I both had a craving for it one afternoon, so I decided to give it a try.  This recipe is SO easy and it's delicious.

Friday Favorites

Hey hey Friday!  I actually got a post up every single day this week!  Can you beleive it!?!  Today I am sharing my favorites from the week.

Cricut

Happy Thursday!!  We are sooo close to the weekend.  I'm excited because I have the entire weekend off from work.  The weather isn't suppose to be the greatest, so it will be a good weekend to stay at home and catch up on a few things.  

Just before Christmas, Brian gave me an early gift.  A cricut.  I may or may not have begged him to give it to me early so I could make some Christmassy things! ha!  

I am still learning this machine, and it does so much more than I even know how to use it for.  When I first opened the box, I was super intimidated.  I thought there is no way I will figure this out.  So after watching tons and tons of YouTube videos, I finally sat down and decided to make something.  

I grabbed Brian's YETI that he won at a work training a couple of weeks ago and made this decal for it.  I thought it was pretty neat, and he loved that it was the state of Maine with trees.

My next project was this sign.  

I bought the frame at Hobby Lobby, and then just made the design decal on design space.  

I really need to get Brian to make the frames for me.

This sign is farm from perfect.  Looking at it I can see many imperfections, but it's only the third thing I made, so I can live with that for now.  

A girl I work with asked me to make a sign for her kitchen.

I think my favorite thing to make, is cups and mugs.  These are a few that I did for gifts over the Holidays.

And then this one I made to keep at work for the Christmas season.

It's been so fun learning how to use the cricut and coming up with some new ideas.  I can't wait to use it more!!!  =)

Happy Thursday friends!

Gardens Aglow

I know we are well into the New Year now, but I wanted to share a trip we took at the end of November.

A few weeks ago we decided to take a day trip to the coast of Maine to a botanical garden that transforms their gardens with Christmas lights each year.  We had never been before, and I couldn't wait for the girls to see all the lights.
