BackIt is a while since I posted. Time seems to have run away. I am taking part in a Recipe round robin and this is my "Recipe Card Book". As always I seem to rush around in the last moment doing things which should have been done yesterday! But I did finish making the book and it is on its way on time phew! The reason it took me so long was I had no inspiration and my dolly kept calling me. I looked at various journals but nothing. I wanted mine to be as light as possible so the postage would be kept to a minimum at the same time something nice. So this is what I came up with. My nieces presented me a free voucher for a day at the Spa. This voucher was in a pretty folder. I looked at it and thought this folder would do the trick. So I sort of stuck things on it to hide the writing etc as you can see. I am not very good at this sort of thing so it is not great it is a bit too flowery but it will do. The main thing is I am looking forward to all the delicious recipes.
This is how my dolly is taking shape I have done a bit more since I took this picture and the battery has run out so the next picture will probably be when she is finished.

ReplyDeleteI was sorry to read your post about having the flu. I hope you feel better real soon. I would have e-mailed you but figured you didn't need more e-mail to read while you feel so bad.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, my friend!
