Another DIY: My Recipe Book

I love to cook & bake so I have gathered a substantial collection of recipes. I also love to organize, so when I saw this DIY Recipe Binder from Prudent Baby, I was inspired to organize my recipes. Now you must understand my obsession with organizing things - I was/am an obsessive perfectionist (it's something I am working on). So I created a recipe book years ago, but had fallen victim to my perfectionist habits and felt that every recipe must be typed and printed in the same format before going into the book. A silly idea which I could in no way keep up (especially at the rate which I collect recipes). Therefore my previous recipe book had fallen into sad outdated-ness and disorganization. It really wasn't very useful. Now after seeing Prudent Baby's Recipe Binder and bringing my perfectionist self into check, I realize that there is no need to try and maintain absolute recipe uniformity. I gathered all my various recipes together and created a new and improved recipe book.

I actually love the way it all came together. Kinda scrapbook-ish. I have recipes that I printed online, recipe cards that my mom wrote up when I got married, magazine pages, quickly scribbled recipes on scraps of paper, etc, etc.
