I would love a book that puts all the DIY projects in one place, such as making your own taco seasoning, hot sauce, etc. I sort through lots of web sites to find the ones that work, but one place... just an idea.

Now that's an idea! My DH always laughs at me when I pull up Pinterest to find all of my DIY stuff! He tells me one day, I won't be able to use the computer and then what will I do?!? LOL! A book would be very handy!

How about a photo album with 5x7 slots for recipe cards that have your favorite tips, recipes, and pictures in. I probably I have 10 big photo albums full of house, DIY, etc ideas I had collected before Pinterest started. Now I am collecting recipes like making my own dishwasher, laundry, hand soap. I agree with your hubby, I worry about someday when they won't be there anymore.

I took to printing things out and making my own books of things like that.

Oh my, I'm inspired. Hand written cards of DIY projects as a gift. This is something my niece would enjoy. And I even have the photo album to put them in.

There are several cookbooks that have come out recently that do just that. One is called "The Homemade Pantry." See if your local library has it.

I bough a regular school-sized three-ring binder and stocked it with those vinyl protector pocket pages you can buy for single pages, 3x5 index cards, etc.. I keep scans, printouts, magazine tear-outs or handwritten recipe cards in that. It's very handy. I've been able to keep the best recipes from old books and give the books away. I've gained a lot of storage space and it's nice to have everything organized in one spot.

I bought cute fabric to make a "book cover" for the notebook and even cut out the shapes for it. One of these days, I'll sew them together. *sigh*

When our family has get togethers, it seems like each person looks at the food we all bring and asks if we got it off Pinterest...lol.

I am gathering the three ring binder and page protectors NOW. I have all kinds of things to fill up a whole binder.....just needed your push to do this. I like the idea of letting the books and magizines go once I get the info out of them.... Reduce, reuse, recycle...

Hugs and prayers, Daizy

I made a notebook of PInterest recipes I have liked. This also holds recipes from friends and family's favorite recipes. It sure comes in handy. I have full 8x11 sheets so I can make notes or have pics off of pinterest. My cookbooks are becoming obsolete.
