For her birthday this year, my best friend wanted a cute recipe box. You can buy them for about 40 bucks on Etsy, and always thoughtful, she said it would be great if we could "find something cheaper."
Orrrrrrrrrrr...you can buy an unfinished wooden box at Michael's with a 40% off coupon, buy a few packs of pre-printed kraft recipe cards on sale from Hobby Lobby, and spend 2 nights + 1 lunch hour +season 4 of Vampire Diaries making your own!
Well, your own to give away. ; )
Now that I think about it, I think she asked-without-asking me to make one by showing me the $40 version to which she knows I would say, "Uh, pump the brakes. I can do that." Did I get played?
