These are my two scrapbooks. The first one is a finished recipe book now, and the second one, with the pink spine, is still a work in process. If you are anything like me, and would like to start your own scrapbooks, then here as some handy tips for starting your own.
1. Decorate your scrapbook. I like to start a collage on the front, back an inside covers, but if you are more artistic and can think of something better than go for it!
This may seem like a silly thing to do, but by decorating it, you are making it a labour of love, something you will want to hold on for the rest of your life and show your family one day.
2. Make notes. Not every recipe is going to be perfect, so it is very important that you write everything you can think of in the margains. May seem obvious, but if you forget to annotate your cooking, then you may end up making the same mistakes over and over again!
3. Look after your books! Learn from my mistakes! The spiral on my first book has snapped, meaning that its not going to last forever, as soon enough it will unravel completely and fall to bits.
4. Don't just collect the recipes, try them all! You never know, you might find the perfect dinner party special, that you cook every day for the rest of your life.
