The Move Is Almost Complete!

This is exactly what I should have done!  Just picked up the entire house and dumped into the new house!  I am now down to the little stuff and boy what a challenge to look over things at the same time as deciding what to move.  It is amazing that with all this "stuff", I have started a list of things that I need to replace/or buy to fit into the space of the new place.  Since I have lost a room, half of the double car garage is now going to be the craft space-which gives me really a lot more space than I had.  My concern is the summer months might be to hot-I am toying with the idea of running the air conditioning duct into that area or walling in a room within the garage to run air conditioning into-great another project!

On a more artistic note-I attended a couple of classes last week, a neighborhood watch wall hanging (as soon as I take pictures I will post them), my art journal class and this week i will be taking a class on a Wizard of Oz Book.  Again I will hopefully remember to take pictures and post them!  i am also starting to make a list of the Christmas projects I would like to get done. (Did you see I said like-not sure if I can definately get them done with everything else going on!)

With the weather starting to get a little cooler, I have again brought out the crockpot for ease in fixing dinner-how does that line go "just fixit and forget it".  I love my crockpot, I can put everything in it in the morning and when I return from work, the meal is ready.  I tried this recipe I found on a blog (don't remember which one) a couple of days ago-it turned out great
Crockpot Love - Cheesy Italian Tortellini

Ingredients
1 lb of mild ground italian sausage
1 14oz can of diced tomatoes with italian herbs, undrained
1 15oz jar of marinara
1 9oz pkg of refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1 cup of shredded mozzerela cheese
1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms

Directions:1) In a skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown, then drain.
2) Spray the inside of your pot with cooking spray. Then mix in the beef mixture, marinara sauce, mushrooms nd tomatoes.

3) Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.

4) Stir in torellini and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook on low for an additional 15 minutes.

I really didn't need to add the sausage and if you have a vegetarian in the household just the tortellini will do.

That's about all for now, I have to get back to the one million things still left to do on my list!  Have a great day!
