Add to the soup with the carrots and celery when ready.
For a quick version (like I did last night because I thought I would be home all afternoon but things came up and I wasn't!)
I just bring the bone-in breasts to boil in the 2-3 quarts of water with some chicken bullion until chicken is cooked through. Make the noodles while the chicken is cooking. Remove the chicken and take it off the bone, put back in broth. Add the diced celery, carrots and homemade noodles and bring to boil and simmer until celery and carrots are cooked. I hope your family loves it as much as we do!

I loved this one on the cover of Martha Stewart last year and decided to make my own version of it.
Most of the greenery is from the garland from JoAnn's that I talked about here. It easily came apart and tucked nicely into a basic 24" grapevine wreath. I also took apart a eucalyptus bush from Hobby Lobby to place here and there. The ribbon was from the Hearth and Hand line last year.
The BELLS! We've got to talk about the bells because they didn't have them out at Wal-mart with the rest of the Christmas finds and I can't find them online. But if you look at the section near the front of the store where they have holiday cookie cutters, gift bags, and some decor these bells were just hiding in there. This was the last set but I had thought they were so great and much less than others I had seen. Here is the tag:
I was thinking about spraying them gold but I actually liked the silver with my door handle.
I also used a few picks from the Target Dollar Spot that I took apart.
I spent in total probably about $40 and I know I can buy pretty wreaths but it's just fun creating, isn't it?
I don't have a stitch of Christmas up anywhere else but the door is ready. :)
