Printer to Canvas - The Easiest Crafty Craft Ever!

So, Susie's room needed a little pick-me-up, so I decided to get some command strips and decorate the bare walls. I picked three already made pictures, but then decided to try a little craft to round it out.

I already had some tracing paper laying around. I loaded that into my printer and printed a picture right over the top of it. (I had to cut the paper a bit b/c it was too big to go in the printer).
On a flat canvas, I mod-podged bits of torn construction paper to make a kind of rustic looking background. Then, when the background was still wet, I just layed the picture right out top and smoothed out the air bubbles. (I left a few wrinkles - I think it gives it some character haha).

WARNING: Do not put mod-podge over the top of the picture - IT WILL SMEAR! The picture you see below is actually Take 2 haha. Y'all try it! It's super easy and fun!

Homemade Soup - Easy Easy Easy!!!

Hey Y'all! Susie Homemaker is back after a lovely winter break!!! Since returning to school, I have been desperately craving some homemade soup. However, they seem to have replaced our soup bar in the dining hall with a hot dog stand. So...I decided I'd attempt to make some!!!

Proverbs 31:15 "She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family, and portions for her female servants."

Trip to Walmart! I LOVE WALMART (almost as much as Target). I bought a crockpot (which are surprisingly inexpensive), and I was ready to go.

I salted and peppered my stew meat. Put in a can of dinced potatoes, tomato sauce, corn, sliced carrots, onions, some garlic, and a little dried basil. I left a little juice in each can so that there would be a broth for the soup.

I made it yesterday at lunch time. By breakfast this morning, the entire 7 qt crock pot was empty. I think it was a success! :) Haha!

Happy Soup Making!

Love,

Susie
