Recipe Box

I have so many projects that I have been wanting to finish up, so I finally made a list and am trying to get them done one by one! AND trying not to add more... the list includes a recipe box (seen here and talked about more below), gifts for heather's shower (almost done with those and will post AFTER the shower!), a book about Skippy - he's my lovable cocker spaniel that is the sweetest little guy in the world. I've never had the foresight to keep pictures about my dogs and also try to write about them while they are alive! A book about Isabella... I never thought I'd love a cat, but I do. She's just precious and has a very funny personality, sometimes I don't think it's that funny when she has this awful meow at 4am. Finish up Theo's album about his first year. I'm getting there on that. I also need to finish up the little album that has a LO about each month in the first year of his life. A mini acrylic album - Kate is having a contest at the shop for the month of May making an acrylic album. The prize is machine that you can use to bind little books - I WANT this! And the drawing is on my birthday so it's only fitting that I should win! I am going to do that book about girlfriends. A mini chipboard album with the pictures from our day at Fenway. A calendar for each Mom and Keith's Mom, Vera with pictures of their little guys - that's for Xmas, but it would be nice to not cram to finish in December! A calendar for me... yah, it's April. I want to do a calendar for Claudia next year too. Some vintage cards for Pat.

Along with doing all of these I want to create my new scrapping space at Keith's. I have cleaned out the front spare room - this room has TONS of natural light and is a great size. I'm plotting that! I want to paint it an apple green. I have some little projects that I want for that room... I bought the St Patty's day kit from Scrapologie primarily for this great cone that she had. I want to decorate it and have fun things poking out the top! There was also this great hanger that I have my vintage St Patty's Day postcard hanging from, need to update that regularly. The hanger is SO damn cute!

Well... the recipe box... I've been dying to have one for years. I have a folder full of recipes that I cut out, print off, etc. The plan is to put the recipes that I want to use again! I am very happy with how it came out. I think I'll add things that I find along the way. I still have to finish the dividers inside - haven't found the right thing yet.
