Does one have to join the challenge at the beginning of the month? At the end of last week I finished a family recipe scrapbook that I gave as a bridal shower gift yesterday. When I decided to tackle this project earlier this month, I thought I would be lucky to have maybe ten pages in the book. Well, I ended up with 50! Plus the sb was quite a hit at the shower! I was quite pleased.
I am a cousin to the groom. After the bride-to-be opened my gift, she opened one from her aunt who made a similar gift - a recipe book of Grandma's recipes. The title page had a cutout photo of Grandma in her wedding dress - really neat old black & white photo. On the last page was an older photo of Grandma - the stereo typical Italian woman - surrounded by phrases Grandma used. There were only a handful of recipes, but I loved how the first one began - "Find a thirty year old frying pan, ...."
