Hi Girls... I don't know if I should say this or not on here... but I got a free photo book on shutterfly, and as I was nosing around on there I saw that they have a recipe book now... so I dont know if you could download the books from here, and then create your own recipe book thru shutterfly, if it would be cheaper or not (if you actually want the recipes in a book) ... I know shutterfly has specials and free shipping through out the year... I actually haven't tried to create the recipe book, but thought I would mention it to you! (was thinking of making one with all of my grandmas old recipes..) Cheers!

How long does it take for the actual book to arrive once it's purchased?? (Still haven't received my apron yet, either.) But it's only been a week.

That will be my intention for making one for myself and maybe a few others...I hate looking for recipes that I know I have but can't find

This book, though it may be ordinary, was actually created for myself, but THRILLED that so many have liked it!!! Was SHOCKED actually!! :D But anyways, I made it so that I could have all my Thanksgiving recipes right in ONE place, and not have to search all over the house as I usually have to do each year. I do have some of my recipes on index cards taped to the back of my cabinets, but i'd need a kitchen the size of a super dome to hold them all. Mosy of my recipes are hand-written and scribbled on backs of envelopes, napkins and scraps of paper. This will work much better for me, and half the stress is already gone from not having to hunt for them and losing them.

I do too, JoAnne! They had me as soon as I clicked on their site and that cute little drawer popped open (with sound effects!). I'm not going to admit how many times I opened and closed that drawer...

I had been thinking of making my mom's wooden box recipes into a book for her for Christmas so she wouldn't have to worry about loosing one, or having to go thru the whole box to find one. Now I think I will pick recipes from here to make a book for her. I just love this site
