Recipe Scrapbook.

My father never did the cooking when I was growing up--I am the youngest of 6.
But when he retired he became the "chef" and starting collecting recipes and writing them on recipe cards. On October 24, 1994 he passed away. That Christmas my sister made a scrapbook of his recipe cards for all of us. She included photos, funny stories also.
The memories that were stirred were unbelievable. Just to see his handwriting again was so overwhelming.

If anybody is looking for a unique Christmas gift, try this type of scrapbook.
If I have time later this week I will try and take pictures of it and post them.

Have a good day!

My mother has many recipes that were collected. I think it would be neat to do something like that with her things.

It is really cool. If you go to www.storiesbyeveryone.com starting in January they will have a recipe theme photo book available you can make too.

Wow, what a fabulous idea! And, being able to see a loved one's handwriting......priceless, precious memories!
I would love to do something like this with some of my mom's recipes!
Is it hard to do?

This is a great idea. I might have to try this, maybe over Thanksgiving break I can start and finish it up before Christmas.
