Kickstarter

Im tying my two favorite activities together, crafting and cooking, to bring you a one of a kind treat. My recipe book is my bible in the kitchen. And my kitchen is my playground. I experiment, I create, I make a mess, and sometimes, I flop. But the result of that is some fantastic tasting food.
Recipes come from family, generations long gone, a close friend, or even your own crazy imagination and the best place to put them is a personalized, handmade recipe book you can cherish for years and pass down someday to future generations. Share the joy of cooking.

I outgrew my old recipe book. There wasnt enough tabs, they weren't specific to what I wanted, not enough pages, when I ran out I couldnt find more to the size I needed, blah, blah, blah... So this recipe book will fix all those problems and more. There is a basic design that will get you started. Then when you decide you need more dividers, or for them to say something different, or different paper(maybe even a different color!), I'll have options for all of these things. On top of that, the cover is completly customizable, and not just by me, YOU can do it too! But if you're not the artsy type, I'm here to help with that as well. I want you to WANT to use your recipe book, and to show if off! I use mine EVERY day, why shouldnt that be something special?

Each recipe book will be hand crafted using brown binders board, 3 eyelet enforced holes with 1 1/4" album rings. 100 pages of recycled white paper hand stamped with a place to write in Recipe Title, Ingredients, and Directions. On every page back will be hand stamped with "From the Kitchen Of" so you can always remember the source. 12 hand cut divider tabs are included with the following labels:
Breakfast
Appetizers/Sides
Bread/Pasta
Soup/Salad
Main Course
Drinks
Sauce/Spices
Desserts
Other
*Conversions
*Substitutions
*Tips & Tricks

(names of tabs may change but will remain in the same catergories, i.e. main course may be changed to main dishes, breakfast to morning food, etc.) due to creativity changes. :)

ALL pledges include shipping to continental USA.  International shipping is not offered. Sorry :(

The price to get all materials to make the first 25 books ordered is what my goal is set at. If I do not meet the goal with your pledges I do not get anything. And then I cry... So spread the word and help me out!

If for some wonderful reason my goal is met and I get more than 25 recipe books ordered then I may have to push back estimated time of arrival until September instead of August. I will get them all out, in the order recieved, in the most timely manner I can. All items will be made with the highest quality.

Thanks again to all of you!
