Farmhouse Christmas Goes Spooky

Combining Farmhouse Christmas with Spooky Sweet  created this fun & spooky scene. Not sure how spooky it is, but it sure came out cute.

The fence and tree are part of Farmhouse Christmas stamp & dies. The bats, stars and moon are from Spooky Sweets. Do you ever combine several sets to create a card? Combining sets is one of my favorite ways to stretch my stamps and dies.

 Facebook Holiday

I took a Facebook holiday this week. Sometimes FB gets overwhelming and it seems to get me out of sorts. Being off FB freed up extra time to create and cook.

Now that fall is almost here I start thinking about soup. I like to have soup on hand for dinner. After a long day of work (or stamping) is feels great to have dinner already prepared.

Here is a new soup I tried today. Adapted from several I have seen online.
