Still busy ...

... tidying drawers and sticking recipes in my notebook.

Seeds are sorted, shoe cleaning bits and pieces, dusters, rags, batteries, candles and place-mats. One solution to my recipe scraps was to laminate the family ones. These place-mats are laminated over colouring in pictures and precious photos. (DS went to bed with his new boots - couldn't part with them!)


Christmas laminated place-mats were another activity when the children were young.


The recipe book is coming on well and I intend to decorate the pages as and when the fancy takes me.


Right, where's the next drawer!

  2. I've got laminated drawings which have been used as place mats too. A great way to save special works of art.

  4. Useful and creative ways to fill in these dark, cold days! You have given me an idea. My aged hand-written recipe book ( started in my school days) is falling to pieces. Cutting out the best recipes and putting them in a new book would be the answer.
