Getting a little organized...and hungry

For an enrichment activity we covered tin boxes to put cards in. I didn't have one, but really wanted to go to craft night, so I took my old recipe box to cover! I just used stuff I already had from my scrapbook supplies, some mod-podge and ribbons I had.

I even covered up the old dividers with all coordinating papers.
The hard part came later when I actually had to go through old recipes and rewrite some and throw some away. I can't believe the difference it made. I am LOVING my newly organized recipe box! Maybe I'll even cook more now :)
I still need to print off my labels for each "category" of food and then probably mod-podge the whole divider. I just ran out of printer ink!
