Sorry it has been so long since I've posted anything. I spent most of this week in meetings and then after work I had to take my car into the shop to get the motor mounts fixed. I haven't had much time to sit, let alone do crafts. Is it me, or does this year seem like it is going super fast and life is just really crazy hectic right now?
Before the craftshow I went to last week, I made a scrapbook cookbook. I think the batteries on my camera were dead, so I couldn't post the pictures until now. This is a great gift idea for a mom or a sister that is hard to shop for. I found the recipe cards and the stickers at Big Lots. This little 6x6 cookbook is a great way to show off your pictures along with your favorite recipes. Last year I had made a cookbook with all of my mom's favorite recipes and some old pictures using www.snapfish.com. Everyone loved those photo cookbooks. My husband had some of his mom's recipes on 3x5 cards and I typed the recipe on one page and had 4-5 old pictures of him and his brother on the other side. I did the same for my family's recipes and pictures. Not only are these gifts precious, practical, and thoughtful---they are great to pass down through the generations. You have all your family favorite recipes next to your favorite pictures of your family. It is not that expensive to make them either. I think each book was about $10-20. Below are the pictures of the scrapbook cookbook that I made. I'll have to take pictures of the other digitall cookbooks and upload them later. Hopefully, this inspires you to make your own family favorite recipe scrapbook. Have an awesome week!!! Happy Halloween!!!
