Dear Fellow Journalers,

Do you remember last year’s posts about a recipe journal? Well, one of articles I read featured two craft ideas that are portable and easily deliverable to friends and family and this is the perfect time to share them with you:
Recipes as art:
Choose a variety of frames in the same color and print recipes to fit. You can print a photo with your phone or copy a recipe by hand. If you’re a crafter, you can even embellish the recipe by using stickers.
Heirloom Shadow Box:
Start with a shadow box (Michael’s or Hobby Lobby)’. Paint a complimentary color to your recipient’s kitchen. Try to find a box that is 1″ deep. Add a picture frame hanger to the back at the top. Gather and arrange recipe cards, photos, kitchen utensils (craft store doll house department) and silk flowers. Glue contents to the box.
Don’t forget to attach a card.
