Hopefully Mo and Nora have already opened their wedding presents, because I wanted to share this project, but I don't want to spoil the surprise. They registered for a Martha Stewart recipe box at Macy's and I wanted to include Martha recipe cards, but I couldn't find any. Instead I just bought some rainbow colored index cards from Fred Meyer that fit perfectly. The colors are a good way to sparate the recipes between the different tab categories that are included in the box.
I picked about a dozon or so of my favorite recipes and copied them onto the cards to include with the gift.
Then I made all of the recipes, and took a picture of them to print off and put on the back of each recipe card. I know I am much more likely to make something if there is a picture of it so I thought those would help. I'm always looking for a way to do something beyond the registry and this was a really fun way to personalize and put a little extra thought into something they asked for. Michelle did a great personalized gift for them as well using her magnent idea that she posted about before.
turned out good! i want to know what recipes you put in there. were they things that i have had or were some of them first time recipes?
