Fine Tuning My Recipe Box

Artwork by Debbie Mumm

 I used to keep my recipes in a recipe book but it started getting too full.  So, I put together kind of a recipe box that I think will work a lot better.  I like to use the big recipe cards (5 x 7) just cuz...ahem...my eyesight might not be exactly what it once was.  But, when I went to my local stationary store to pick up another pack of them, they seemed to be fazing them out.  It seems that most people like to keep their recipes on their computers (so do I, but I like a hard copy somewhere close at hand, too).

I started wondering if maybe there was a site online that had some sort of interactive recipe cards that I could type the recipes into and then print out.  Turns out there is.  I found this website:  Prints of Joy and they had exactly what I was looking for.  Some cute recipe cards, too.  I paid like $4.95 a piece for two different recipe card files that I was able to download.  The files are completely interactive which means that I can change the size of the printable areas to coincide with whatever size card I want to print out.  Then I can type up the recipe, save it to my computer and also print out a hard copy.  I love it!  And my recipe box is so nice and neat now.

And, recipe cards is not all they have.  They also have lots of other adorable clip art available for all those other craft projects you have been meaning to do.  Have fun!
