Whatcha Working on Wednesday

First off I am SO sorry for being gone from blogland for 3 months. I can't believe it has been that long since I last posted. I will soon be able to start crafting again (which I am really excited about). Well not that I haven't been crafting because I have. But they were Christmas presents that I couldn't share on here because my family reads my blog and that would spoil the surprise. I am sure you understand. I promise to share photos of the gifts soon.

I officially don't have anything craft-wise that I am working on at the moment but I did want to share something that I am starting today and will continue to work on. It's a family cookbook.

I already have a 3 ring binder that holds all of our favorite recipes along with some that I think we will like. Each page is typed up. And I have them in those plastic page protectors. That works great in my kitchen. But I want something sentimental that I can eventually pass along to my children.

So I decided to start collecting ALL of our favorite recipes along with recipes that my husband and I grew up loving. Once I find a favorite, I will take a photo, upload it with the typed recipe in MS WORD and then save them one by one on a dvd. My goal is to either have the cookbook professionally printed and bound or I might even be able to do it myself with some waterproof paper and the binding kit from Office Depot. I have years to decide on that. But basically that is what I am working on. Don't you think that would be a wonderful wedding gift for each of my children?

Happy Wednesday everyone. Please check out Leslie's blog for more Whatcha Working on Wednesday posts.
