Homesteading and Housekeeping: A Cook Book

Another project I intend to make serious progress on this year is my scrapbook-cookbook.
I purchased an empty scrapbook at Hobby Lobby this Autumn along with paper and stickers to create the style I wanted.
I didn't care for the cover of the book, so the first thing I did was measure and cut out a more likable front and back, and slipped in beneath the plastic, over the original cover. I added the tags Happiness and Summertime, too. These were cut out from an old book of pre-made scrapbooking pages from Debbie Mumm...

I cut out tags, pages, and labels to write recipes on. Then little accents such as stamps, stickers, decals, and borders make it look artsy. ;)

I call it Homesteading and Housekeeping, and though it is primarily a cookbook, it also has basic guidelines to housekeeping techniques. I have three sections: Housekeeping, which is the cooking and baking part; Homesteading, which has tidbits on gardening, herbal information, animal-care, and household tasks such as the laundry soap recipe, cleaning tips, etc; and lastly Heartwarming, which is more like the scrapbook part of the whole collection- pictures, quotes, memories, and words of wisdom to remember. 

When I'm not working on this book, everything gets stashed in a bin that slides right under my bed. And when I am working on it... my whole floor is a mess. XD
