Christmas Tags By Artful Creations By Deb

My Good Friend over at http://www.artfulcreationsbydeb.com/ just sent me the cutest Christmas gift tags I have ever seen.  

Christmas Tags with Sass!!

(I completely stole this picture off her Etsy page because my pictures aren't going to do these justice)

These sell for $4.00

I like these ones so much because they are completely unique, I think that the adults I exchange gifts with will get a real kick out of them. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am pretty sarcastic..I like that these tags seem to have a bit of my personality in them.

I also like when I can make my gift unique and special in every way for the person I am giving it to.

For The Kids!!

(Stole this too :) )

These sell for $5.00

I think my children will absolutely love that these feel like they came straight from the North Pole.  Plus they are personalized so I can save my hand a little bit of the hand cramping that writing all the tags gives me!  

Here is my picture..which does not do them justice.  

These tags look just like the picture off her site if not better!!!

Head on over to Deb's Etsy Shop and check out all her other amazing creations!!!

Pasta E Fagioli Crockpot soup

Pasta E Fagioli

I had my carrots and cellery from my Tops Organic Trip earlier this week so I decided to make my favorite Crockpot soup.  It is super easy!!

1 cup chopped onion 

3 minced cloves of garlic (they are in with the onions)

1 cup chopped cellery

1 cup Julienned carrot

Okay I have a secret...I am super lazy and uncoordinated so I did not Julienn the carrots...instead I used a cheese grater

Brown 1lb of ground beef then mostly drained it..then you add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic and saute' for ten minutes 

While that is saute'ing

Put 1 28oz can petite diced tomatos

 12oz V8 juice

 1 table spoon white vinegar

1 15 oz can Great Northern Beans

1 15oz can Kidney Beans

1 15 oz can Tomato Sauce

in the crockpot

add 1 tsp Oregano

1tsp Bazil

1/2tsp thyme

1/2 tsp pepper

1 & 1/2 tsp salt

When your beef and veggies are done saute'ing add them to the Crockpot

I let it cook on low for around 4 to 5 hours

Before you are ready to eat boil pasta as directed and add to bowls of soup

Do not add to left over soup as pasta will absorb all the liquid
