My favorite recipes I have collected for many, many years are in a large cookbook binder. The rest are in 8 manilla folders according to subject. I gave most of my favorite cookbooks to my niece and sister. They both love to cook/bake and needed a good reference. My sons have asked for and gotten their favorite food recipes from home from me. , I do look up recipes at one of three sites online if I am stumped. I did keep three cookbooks that I love though, and some specialty booklets I use now and then
Last year I began organizing many things. I was sick of over-storing and using up all of my valuable time looking.
This year I started cardmaking and I am so glad I organized last year. I had no idea how much you need to make cool cards. LOL!
