Cookbook Transfer

A few years ago I designed and created a cook book for a Super Saturday project, of course beginning  with someone else's idea.   As a Super Saturday project, I wouldn't recommend doing it again.  I didn't simplify it enough for the average crafter.  I had too many options and left it up to individuals to decide what they wanted to do.   It was my first Super Saturday... I didn't realize some people need to be guided and told exactly what to do or they become lost in a sea of craft paper and glue.  I am not one of those people.    

Now remember this was 2-3 years ago that I made this cookbook.  It has been sitting in my cookbook cupboard, unused, since that November Saturday.  

Instead I used this unorganized, chaotic mess, which consisted of scratch pieces of paper with recipes written on them, 3x5 recipe cards and full sized sheets of paper with recipes tucked between the sleeves of other recipes. 

Why do you ask, when I had such a fabulous new book to house all those recipes?  Oh, for the simple reason that I didn't want to tackle the task of transferring all my recipes from one book to the other.   Sometimes I'm just plan lazy.  I walk by countless unfinished projects daily and say to myself "I should really sit down and finish ______." I then proceed to walk away thinking "maybe tomorrow" and I sit on the couch and read a book.   

I'm still not finished, the story of my life, but there isn't much left to complete.  Most of it is converting the 3x5 recipe cards into a full sized sheet that I can fit in a plastic sleeve and typing up my recipe rewrites.  Those things I can do a little at a time or 3 years from now, whatever comes first.
