i made soup

After over a year without a food blender, I finally caved in and bought a cheapie from Target after work today. Within hours I had put my new purchase to good use with some healthy homemade soup... nomnomnom!

Mushroom & Spinach Soup (makes 2 servings)
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 onion
1-2 cups chopped mushrooms
baby spinach (3 handfuls)
1/2 cup sweet potato
1 can vegetable broth
fresh basil (to taste, plus garnish)
salt & pepper (to taste)
cream (I used approx 1/2 cup)
parmesan cheese (optional)

...and I'm sure you'll work out what to do with the above ingredients! Enjoy :)

i make cards

Oh hey 2013, nice to meet you!

Christmas time got me back into my card making mode, and my lovely family and friends were subjected to receiving my crafty efforts. Of course, when I start making cards... I don't stop. My batch of Christmas cards lead on to other cards, and then my best friend got engaged and that put me on a whole other path.

These are some of the latest batches I've dabbled in... I shall return to my photography cards some day soon...
