I already posted my October gift here...but it didn't take long so I got busy making other gifts.
I put together 25 bags of French Market Soup mix. The recipe is one I got out of Southern Living years ago. They have it online HERE too. I kick mine up by smashing half the beans, adding cayenne and more spices....and spicy venison sausage. (The basic recipe isn't quite robust enough for my family!)
After mixing, they look like this...
Then I got busy during the LSU game and made a cute little grass snake for someone special. His name is George (for now.)
Think I'll go have a glass of wine to celebrate!

Hi,George!
I does feel good to finish an item from the to do list.I finished my Christmas cards in July. My friends thought I was "sick" but all I have to is put a stamp on them and mail.
Cheers! Good for you getting so much done. That little snake is adorable. I used to put together a layered soup mix together in mason jars and would cross-stitch a little something for the lid. Made for a very nice gift. Hope you are having a good week. Tammy
Is your soup recipie a secret? I love the name, and am always looking for a tested dry mix...
Amber, it is from a very old edition of Southern Living. The recipe is called French Market Soup and you can find it on line. If you email me, I'll send you the recipe.
