1) moving inspires organizing, which inspires me to find a place to stash all of those little scraps of paper with last-minute recipes scribbled on them....im not really a traditional recipe follower....my recipe cards look more like this:
some chicken breasts....
...a little salt....
....garlic, onion, peppers.....other veggies....
....put in oven....watch til brown.....
they are more like footnotes to cooking....an abridged version of your traditional recipe card...
2) the second thing that inspires this project is the bachelorette party that i am throwing for my girl leigh in a few weeks.....this is not the male-anatomy-balloon-and-streamers type of party....but rather a retro inspired cooking party....so fun!
so with those two things in mind, here is a whimsical retro-esque decoupaged recipe box, perfect for catching all my cliff notes versions of allrecipes.com.....
heres a close up of the lid....i used some letter paper left over from my spice rack revamp, as well as some rub on letters (the OO's)...the tag i found in the scrapbooking aisle of Michaels.....the recipe box itself was originally from Michaels too.... $0.60 on clearance!
and heres a close up of more rub on letters....they are my new favorite thing! i love how you can rub lightly, and come out with an intentionally worn look....the ribbon is hot glued around the edge of the lid....the black and white felt very retro to me....
and heres a peek inside at the recipe cards....these cards were actually another ONE CENT find at Michaels....that must be a trend there these days!
