Christmas Is Right Around the Corner

I think I can talk about it here since none of my family reads this blog (at least not yet).

Last night I got a chance to work on one of my Christmas projects. My husband was out of town so I had the computer to myself and endless (5) hours of me time...

Last year or the year before I started giving "homemade" gifts. This years present came from a spark of an idea from Snapfish or Shutterfly or one of those sites....we (which really means I) will be making a cookbook. I thought it would really be fun to make aprons too but this is taking so much time that aprons aren't going to happen. At first I was just going to upload the recipe and a picture but once I learned about Photoshop and all the DS free stuff online the wheels really started turning.

Little did I know this was going to be so involved...it took me 5 hours to make my 20 8X8 recipe pages in Photoshop and they only have a title, recipe, picture frame, and picture. I still have to add paper and embellishments and it would be neat if I could include my own pictures. There is still some time so maybe it will happen.

Here is a little peak into the cookbook....
