ribbon note project reveal

PRESENTS...




I fell into the sink taking this picture!  I had to post this one! :)


Want a good place to put those unforgettable recipes, love notes, etc.  Well, here is the next best thing since sliced bread!  It's the ribbon notekeeper!  It can be yours for a whopping $5.00!  That's what I spent on this project.  I currently have my Mom's classic recipes clipped on that she gave me 9 years ago when I got married.  I also have a fun "Superstitions of the Season" clipart cut-out by Susan Branch.  On the other cabinet, adjacent to this one, I framed my Nana's classic banana bread recipe as you can tell it is VERY old and falling apart, so I decided to buy a $3.00 frame and put a notecard in the back for the matte.

 I also have to blog about our new popcorn air popper.  We are bringing the good ol' days back with fresh, hot popcorn made by air rather than those microwave bags of butter stuff.  This is SO much fun for our family nights.  It's also super cheap.  Think about the trail mixes while out in the powdery snow, and cranberry popcorn strings for the seasons ahead. Yummm... Have I convinced you yet to grab one?

  4. Love the ribbon notekeeper! When my girls got married I gave them copies of my recipes. Hopefully one day they will really appreciate them (as you have). I do have a recipe that my oldest daughter copied of a Strawberry Pie that her grandmother always made. I WILL matte it like you did and display in my kitchen. Thanks for inspiring me.

  5. I love the framed recipe! What a great idea. My one tip for things I need to keep is to scotch tape them on the inside of the cabinet doors. One door has all the cards for my repair men, roof man, etc. They never get lost. Another one has a copy of my passport and all the contact info for the neighbors, in case their house ever burns down while they are out. When I use this method, I never lose things. Ann
