It really was a very easy task and now they have just a nice, clean look. I’ve come to accept that culling my cookbooks will be a lifetime event as I can’t restrain myself (or my family) from buying new ones. Could be worse, right?

What a great idea! It sure makes a big difference, and it only took a bit of ingenuity and a printer. Brilliant! I have too many cookbooks too, on top of it I love Pinterest, way too many recipes and not enough time!

In reply to Holly McCall {McCall Manor}. Those recipes passed down through the family are the most special ones. The mom of one of my girlfriends hand copied their family recipes into a small binder and gave it to my girlfriend when she married. Such a treasured gift and one that I'm determined to give my kiddos. And while I do get most of my new recipes online, I love knowing if I open my binder at a certain location, I'll be pretty close to the recipe that I'm looking for. Wishing you a happy day, Lynn

Hi Carol, I couldn’t part with my binders…too many good, old recipes in them. I’ll probably digitize them someday, but until then…gotta keep the binders.

Wishing you a happy Wednesday, LYnn

What a treasure! My mom typed up all of her tried and true recipes and gave me a copy. It’s a 3 inch binder that I use all the time! Thanks for sharing at Your Inspired Design!

Lynn, I have 6 3-inch binders of recipes that I rarely use anymore since I save everything online now. I keep thinking I’ll get rid of them, but haven’t gotten the courage. Maybe now I will. Thanks for sharing on Your Inspired Design.

Lynn I really should just scan them all rather than creating word docs for them. Oh well, at this point whatever works, right? And yes, it did not even make the earth move when we got rid of all those tons (literally) of stuff. it’s nice to purge

In reply to Mary-the boondocks blog.

Oh Mary, of course I only show you the organized stuff!! Though my recent purge has left me with many fewer unorganized spots…if you just toss the whole unorganized lot out then BAM…you’re all of a sudden organized! Love how that works.
Big hugs coming your way!

In reply to Katrin.

I’m right there with you on the WD v VD thing! What a romantic way to spend the evening, right? You are such an organized gal, I think it’s funny that your recipes are all in a basket! But whatever works for you…if that’s your organizing weakness then I’d say you are doing pretty darn well.
Hugs…LYnn
