from 'martha': favorite recipes see a lot of use, and recipe cards can suffer for it .. getting sloshed with ingredients or lost in a cluttered workspace. When cooking, keep your recipe cards off the counterop and in clear sight with a makeshift card holder: Place a fork in a glss or jelly jar .. then slide the card between the tines.! xo

Gooseberry patch has some books that you can buy now with which you can write your own recipes in and have them in order
I brought 2. I got them at JoAnn's with my cupon ,
These are a big help
Also, I found some notebooks at Wall-mart
they are about the size of a cookbook
They also have the paper that fits the notebook.
You can also use those to remeber important dates and things that happened. Pinkroses

Great idea, Frannie. I'll have to remember that one. I always seem to misplace my recipe cards in the middle of the mixing because it's laying flat on the counter and gets covered by a container or towel and then I have to search for it.
I don't get the cards all messy though because I have laminated the ones I use the most with that laminating paper that you don't need a machine for. My well-used cookbooks on the other hand...

Frannie, that is the other thing I have done in my cookbooks, Write In Them!!! Having been told my young life not to write in books, ohh that was a no no!!! But now even my ma writes the dates she makes things, and if they were good!
Ya know the good recipes, by how stained they are!!!!

ya' know michele .. there is the 'other side of the coin' too .. i love finding an olde cookbook with splatters and stains .. and especially when hand-written notes are in them .. show's 'cookin' goin' on in the kitchen over the years .. each stain tells a story. your little rolling pin sounds adorable! xo

That is a neat sounding idea, Frannie. I have a recipe card holder my ma and dad made. It is like a little rolling pin with a slit in it to hold the card. My ma has a fit cause my recipe books and cards are a mess with spots and stains. But I have no counter room. I need a bigger kitchen, or at least more counter area!!
