Well, I finally finished it in early December!
It was a huge project and something different for me to tackle!
I took my time, thinking each process thoroughly.
I had to stop a couple of times and search/order more paper, embellishments, a ring binder, etc.
But the end result was well worth it!
I purchased the tutorial from Paper Phenomenon - Kathy Orta Files.
She makes her tutorials easy to follow (esp. for beginners like me) and includes pictures. Thanks Kathy!!
I could not enter this into her Contest due to one of her rules was to make a video of your project and I don't do videos.
I tried to get my granddaughter to make a video before it made the trip to Florida, but it never happened!
I am hoping that someday my recipe organizer will make it to one of Kathy's Inspiration Monday posts!
And now without further ado, TADA!!.....

I searched and searched for recipe cards with roosters on them. I finally found just the right ones at an Amish bakery/gift shop while on a mini vacation during the summer!

Recipe binder dividers hold recipes/coupons in place, then can be incorporated to a recipe card if so desired.

I left the recipe card dividers and the binder dividers blank. That way Tracy can personalize the categories to her liking!
I am (bashfully) proud of this project and so glad I challenged myself!
Hope you will allow some time in your week to create.
Till next time...
Happy Crafting!
