This Harvest Tree is easy to make and is such a great addition to your fall decor!
Supplies: Vase/pot branch from real tree floral foam spray paint glue gun moss/grass decorations for tree ribbon
First cut your floral foam to fit inside your pot. Make sure it is tight so that your tree will not move around.
Place your tree branch in the foam. Glue around your tree to make sure it's stable in the foam.
Cover your pot with a trash bag and then spray paint your tree. I chose to spray paint it while it was in the pot because then I did not need help holding up the branch and it was really easy to do.
Now comes the fun part! Add all of your decorations and ornaments to your tree. Twist berries or anything else you want around the branches.
Tie on pumpkins and other ornaments with ribbons.
Tie a ribbon around the pot.
Add grass or moss to the bottom of your tree.
That is it! Now you have a fancy harvest tree for your fall decor!
So, Here is the project we did last week for the Harvest theme.

Cheesy Potato Soup w/Bacon: from Summer
In large pot combine:
4 cubes or 2 Tbs. granules Chicken bouillon 3 Cups hot water 5 cups diced potatoes 1 cup diced celery 1 cup chopped carrots ½ cup chopped onion Cook above ingredients until tender.
In second pan melt butter and whisk in flour. Add the half and half and mix until smooth. Add Velveeta and grated cheese and mix until smooth and then add to vegetables.
¾ cup butter ¾ cup flour 8 oz cubed Velveeta 4 cups half and half ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions: You can add milk to it after it is all cooked to make it a little thinner and it helps make it not as rich tasting. You can also add about 8 slices of bacon, cut up and cooked, as you mix everything together.
Mix together and form meatballs-smaller then a golf ball. Then brown them in the skillet until all the way cooked through.
1 large package of tortellini
2 large carrots-chopped
2 celery sticks-diced
1/2 onion diced
1 garlic clove-crushed
3 cans of Chicken Broth
salt and pepper
Saute up the vegetables until soft-while in a pot start warming up the chicken broth. Then add veggies, meatballs and tortellini, salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes and serve! We top with a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese.
Potato and Carrot Soup: from Yolanda INGREDIENTS FOR POTATO AND CARROT SOUP:
4 Potatoes
A Handful of baby carrots
1/4 cup of Cilantro or Parsley
Salt
Water
Directions:
Peel potatoes
Boil potatoes and carrots until very well done
Drain Water
Return to pot
Add cilantro
Using a hand held blender, blend the potatoes & carrots
Add salt to your liking
Slowly add water until it is the consistency that you like ( I prefer a creamier consistency, so I don't add too much water)
ENJOY!

Evie is so excited to be visiting Sisters Stuff today! She and her Mommy love looking at all of their delicious recipes and creative craft ideas!!
The idea for Evie Adventures began over a year ago when Evie and her Mommy had a hard time getting out of the house. Have you been there? You need to get out of the house (for your sanity) but can't think of where to go...or you want to do something fun with your kids but don't want/need to spend any money! Evie's Mommy dealt with these exact issues! She spent several hours searching online for "things to do with kids" or "activities for stay at home moms". She was looking for the magical websitebut unfortunately never found it! Finally, with Evie's help, her Mom decided she would create the website she so desperately wanted to find.
Evie grabs her detective hat and magnifying glass, and heads out on her weekly adventures! After each adventure, she reports back her findings! Some adventures are so much fun, Evie wants to keep doing them week after week!!
Check your local Barnes and Noble or Borders Book Store. Most locations offer story time once a week - some even have free crafts or snacks! This has become a part of Evie's weekly schedule. She and her Mommy have met new friends who they meet for play dates outside of story time!
The story teller read "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" then had all of the supplies for the kids to make these cute paper hats! Of course, the hat wouldn't be complete without strings of spaghetti and colored meatballs!!
Evie went to a local pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins of all sizes to decorate her front porch. In a later adventure, she even got to decorate the pumpkins with cute faces!
Evie loves going to the farmers market! After her first adventure, she has started going every Saturday morning!! The market even had special booths with free activities for the kids at Halloween. Be sure to check online at your farmers market website to see if they have upcoming holiday events!! Evie wants to thank Sisters Stuff for allowing her to stop by the blog! Be sure to check Evie Adventures each week to see her newest adventure!!

In a heavy saucepan cook ground beef with onion. Drain off fat. Then add water, tomatoes, un-drained kidney beans, tomato sauce and seasoning. Simmer together for 20 minutes!
* I just add a little bit of dried onion to my meat instead of a fresh onion, because I always have it on hand.
This is an AMAZING recipe that I got from my friend Anne Marie.
