What Makes it Convenient???? No more food waste, and less prep time in the kitchen! Woot! 6 years and I am still in love with this companies products. I use them all the time and we have cut our grocery bill down by 40%!

That's right! Yesterday I made 15 Meals in a Jar of Taco Soup in just under 1 hour.
That is 15, 4 serving meals. When we are tired and cold and hungry or have unexpected company, I LOVE grabbing a meal in a jar, boiling the right amount of water and adding the Jar Meal whatever it may be and then in 25-30 minutes we are ready to eat!
I line up my THRIVE ingredients in order of the recipe along with the coordinating measuring cups or spoons and I grab a 1 qt WIDE mouth jar and just go down the line! My friend/Thrive customer Sandy came and brought her own jar so she could see how I did it, and we had a blast!
Some of the jars have meat, either chicken or beef, (Thrive brand) and the rest have none. Partially because I want to use my pressure canned meats I have done this year, partially to have no meat at all on the days I feel that way but want taco soup anyhow, and 3rdly because I forgot to add it to my last Q order! lol So I used what I already had open in the pantry. When my customers place a Q order, I share my recipes with them. What's a Q? It's groceries to your door! You never have to use "Extra" money for Thrive orders because it comes right out of the grocery budget. Click HERE for more info
I am loving the cooler weather and I will be spending the day in my studio downstairs "cleaning" up and creating. Yesterday I made a birthday card for our granddaughter and a get well card for her brother and totally forgot to get photos, ugh.
I have started a Gingerbread book using my Accucut and those gorgeous Candy Cane Lane papers, stamps and accessories and will snag some photos of the cut outs and then photos when it's finished. Life has been wildly busy here with Kay's Business, my Stampin Up and Thrive businesses and we love it.
I am also for the firs time in years having a wonderful time "shopping" for gifts for Christmas because my son Morgan invited us to their home and of course Grammie has to bring presents!!! But mostly I am excited to see my kids grandkids and my step kids and grandkids. And I will get to see my Niece Michelle along the way and hug the stuffing out of her!!!
When you lose your only sister and both of your parents you really realize how important family is- I already knew that, (Dad died in 1995) but this is on a way different level of understanding. Especially when we live so far away from all of the kids and grandkids.
I will be back tomorrow- I PROMISE with Stamping Show and tell.
hugs to all, hope your turkey day week is going awesome!

I am sorry I haven't been posting, I was asked by Stampin Up To create samples for the upcoming Onstage the first weekend in November.
And that is what I have been doing! I cannot show anything until after it is over as the items they sent me to create with are from the upcoming Spring Catalog (and I signed an agreement lol)
I just wanted to update all of you on where I am. I hope to be finished soon and back to life! lol I am SOOO excited to attend this event this coming weekend. And I just received my Silver promotion necklace from Stampin Up last Friday. Hard work pays off (fun that is pays off lol)
In the meantime, I want to share a delicious recipe that Kay is making us for lunch today between painting our shed and me in the studio working on the Onstage projects!
Winter White Lasagna.... Easy!!!

My sweet friends, life has a way of happening to each of us. Yesterday my husband lost his job. We have no idea where or what we will be going/doing as it is still to early to tell. He has such a specialized area of work that there are only 1000 or less jobs of his kind - and finding one available will be quite the trick.
I will be ramping up my Stampin Up! and Thrive Businesses to help with the paying of the bills. I appreciate all who are already my customers and business partners and I am just saying this in hopes of finding people who want a Stampin Up demonstrator and or Thrive distributor not only in my area (Southwest Missouri) but all over the nation. I will be putting more classes together (for both businesses).
I have a LOT of retired stamps for sale here at my home. Over the weekend I will be adding even more as I transition to the new 2016-2017 Catalog.
Your prayers will be greatly appreciated as always.

I have received emails asking about our Thrive Honey Crystals, so I decided to post this awesome Chef Todd Video that will answer those questions- visually!
I use this honey all the time and love it!
You can order your honey crystals and Thrive products on my husbands website HERE
I am sorry for the lack of posts the last week, I have been doing parties: 2 Thrive, 1 Jamberry and an online Stampin Up Party. It's Party time obviously! PLUS, 2 Youngliving Essential Oil demonstrations and trainings. I am exhausted but having the best time!
I want to share with you today information about our Thrive Ground Beef- We use it instead of store bought all the time. I will tell you this, the way I make MY tacos I use fresh, so I keep a package in the freezer just for that and for my husbands delicious meatloaf. For all other recipes it's Thrive for me! Our ground beef is PRE COOKED talk about a time saver! woot This is also the meat I use in my meals in a jar that I have posted in the past!!
THRIVE Ground Beef is an essential in the kitchen! These crumbly bits are pre-cooked and perfect for tacos, sloppy joes, and casseroles.
Ratio of FD vs. Fresh:
2 1/2 C. FD Ground Beef + 2 C. Water = 1 lb. Fresh Ground Beef
Click HERE to see the can label
Add 1/2 cup warm water to 1 cup Ground Beef; cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
1 cup dry = about 1/2 lb. raw meat
Click here to view the THRIVE to Fresh Equivalents Chart.
Food has become the 1 thing we cannot afford to waste- water being the 2nd. Save yourself a lot of money and use Thrive. I know it's working for us and it's delicious too! We have videos, recipes and lots of ideas for delicious meals!

We are having 70ish degree weather but the horrible winds keep me from wanting to go outside and gather up the mass of dead branches on our acreage- ugh so more garden planning,seed buying and sewing is on the list for the day. (oh and some housework- gag, gag, gag)
I hope you are all doing well- my email for this blog is [email protected] Please leave a comment - I have taken off the restrictions for the time being until I see spam or nasty comments again-

I have been sewing Santas and Mrs Santas : a set for me and one for Katie (shhh she doesn't know) I have also been making fabric gingerbread men like crazy- they are died in instant coffee and cinnamon water and they are adorable.
And Stella Awesome Came to see us and spent the night she even brought her parents! (yes that really IS her middle name!) We are in love with Stella!
I have the quilts back from the longarm quilt lady and one is bound to send out for a Gift- have one more to do to get it sent and I have Kay's Roman costume finished and my pattern arrived yesterday so I can make mine, they are for our Church Christmas party. I am sure there will be plenty of shephards there, , so I decided we would go as Roman's to liven things up a bit lol- So as you can see I have been really busy and it doesn't seem to stop anytime soon!
