The Great American Cookbook Clean-Out has begun!
Well, it feels like it's that big a deal to me.
I've been collecting these things for years
but I've finally decided that
some of them must go.
In all honesty, there are many I haven't
even opened since I first brought them home.
It's just that I have this thing about
books in general...
I have a really tough time parting with them.
NO MORE!
This clutter must go!
I didn't get a 'before' pic
and for that I apologize.
It was a last-minute thing
It was a last-minute thing
and I just didn't think.
But here is what remains:
Top shelf
Bottom shelf
15 years worth of
Taste of Home magazines I must sort through.
The giveaway pile
Brie is going to see what she wants to keep
and the rest will go to the local Resource Center.
I will be spending some time going through
the ToH mags, choosing which recipes
I want to keep.
I haven't yet decided if I'm going to
cut them out and create a binder
or if I'm going to take digital pics of them
and keep them on a disc.
I love having a file of my recipes
on my computer. But I suppose I'm also
an old fashioned girl
because I love having a hard copy, too.
Maybe I'll just do both. ;)
When it's all organized
and I consider it a job well done,
I'll post the 'after' pics.
Until then, tell me....
how do you organize your
cookbooks and recipes?
