Welcome Blog Hoppers!!

Welcome to the Handmade Holidays Blog Hop 2011! This 3 day Hop includes over 60 stops with inspiration brimming from every corner. Explore all thoughtful and frugal handmade gifts you could make for the holidays, all in one place on this Hop!



To sweeten to Hop, the participating manufacturer's are offering a gift for you! For every comment you leave on the blogs in the Hop, you ll be entered to win a prize pack from one of the participating manufacturer sponsors! Graphic 45 will be giving away the beautiful Christmas Emporium collection along with the 5x8 Altered Art Box, Altered Art Metal Tin and a Metal Ornate Metal Door Plate. A $75 value!



Here is my project for the hop!

Recipe books make great gifts. This one uses the concept of the presentation portfolio in a handmade recipe binder that stands on your counter! Use your favorite papers and purchased, downloaded or stamped 4 x 6 recipe cards for a treasured gift....just add love and recipes!

I will be teaching how to make this recipe book on my regularly scheduled Ustream classes on November 18th. and 19th.











Supplies:

Graphic 45 Papers:
The Magic of Oz: Tenderhearted Tim Man, Yellow Brick Road
ABC Primer: Calico Kids, Jumping Joan, Games and Playtime

I love all your ideas and inspiration...I was just telling my daughter earlier on the phone how my life at the end of the week has become about getting home to get set up for the Friday and Saturday classes and how much I look forward to Fridays because of that!!!! And I will so look forward to the recipe book!!! Loved the project this weekend, although I only completed construction and papers of one of each type of page. Thank you for all that you share so generously...and congratulations on the great success of the pink mini campaign.
