RECIPE SWAP -- Dessert -- sign ups; recipes due 10/1

[sarahwms]

OK...it seems like the majority wants a monthly Recipe Swap, so that's what we will go with. Our format will be 6x6 and embellished, but not too bulky. They will be due on the first of every month, but we will have separate sign ups every month for each different category. Everyone will mail them to me, include enough postage for return, and I will swap and mail them back out. Chris had a great idea that won't put the burden of creating too many on anyone! You create 6 of your particular recipe and I will send you 6 recipes in return. So you won't get all the recipes turned in, but you will get a variety! How's that sound?

The fourth swap will be DESSERTS and will be due 10/1.


...here are the categories:

Due July 1 -- Appetizer -- MAILED BACK
Due August 1 -- Side Dish -- MAILED BACK
Due September 1 -- Main Dish
Due October 1 -- Dessert
Due November 1 -- Drinks or Soups, Stews and Sauces (that way we'll get a variety of both!)

that will mean everyone will have their last set of recipes BEFORE the end of November which will be in plenty of time for Christmas!!

Ok so I am a major slacker on this swap, I am not done yet so therefore they have not been mailed, I have them half way done, does that count for something??

Got'cha!

[scramper75]

Alright the last one of my dessert page is going in the mail first thing Monday morning :) Here is a sneek peek of the page.
PS. It is completely different than what I had originally planned but still like how it turned out.

[ChrisDurnan]

Oh Man. this recipe would fit perfect with my sons desire to be a chef of late. haha. love it!

[scramper75]

hahaha, I hope he makes it for ya, although it is not gluten free, sorry.

[ChrisDurnan]

no worries his Dad will be happy!

[rlovew]

I am mailing mine in tomorrow- I have been away for most of the last 2 weeks- I will be mailing in next months at the same time.

Rebecca

[movielady]

I am working on my reciepes as I type. is it ok if I put them in the mail in the morning??
Lisa

[Games]

Most likely. send them.

Lisa

I only mailed mine this morning so I am guessing they won't arrive long after mine as long as you use priority- Sarah has a lot going on right now and getting them back out asap is not at the top of her list- we all understand that family comes first but it means you should be fine.

Rebecca

[rjjfulton]

Ok I don't know if I missed something or not. I havn't seen the desserts or the soups/drinks come back. Do I have an issue with my mail man or am I being too impatient? Please let me know, Thanks!
Jennifer

[Games]

Since, I don't see them in my stack, not sure these have been sent yet.;)

[sarahwms]

Sorry for the delay everyone....I had to spend more time at my moms!! I guess I just need to move my scrap room over there since I'm spending more time there than at home lately! But I'm back home (for the time being), and will be mailing these tomorrow!!

[ChrisDurnan]

Woohooo can't wait to get them. Yeah!!!! thanks Sarah for all your coordinating amongst stuff with your Mom.

[scramper75]

Yes, thank you Sarah. I was not sure what was going on with these but I figured you had stuff going on.

[Games]

Thanks Sarah. :D

[movielady]

I just recieved my Desserts and Soups/drinks in the mail today.
thanks everyone!!
this was a great swap!!!
Lisa

[scramper75]

Same here, thanks everyone. i love them :)

[Games]

Ditto! ;) ;)

[cropangel]

Sheryl

[rlovew]

I got mine back and they all look delicious!

Rebecca

[rjjfulton]

Yeah!!! Both the desserts and soups were in my mail box yesterday. (I was getting worried!) They look wonderful ladies. Thank you for all your hard work!
Jennifer

[scramper75]

I thought I would post a few pictures here of the final project. I finally had my BF get the recipe project back from his sister so i could get pictures, so with out further ado here they are....

Sarah made the tabs for the book, I just laminated them and attached them with eyelets.

[ChrisDurnan]

That is cool. I love the clear sleeves. where did you get those? or did they come with.

So thoughts... are we doing this again this coming Christmas. There was a slight battle. ahh... confrontation over what recipes the ladies in my family wanted. haha.
i tried to just seperate them up, but ahh.. yeah there was a where is mine? from a few.. woops

[Games]

Fights over them, wow, brutal family you have there. ;)

Elizabeth they look great in there. See BF is good for something. Sorry bud. Now he'll delete me as his friend on FB

[scramper75]

ROFLOL Ginger, your a hoot. I think he did a great job making the stand. :)

Chris, i had a hard time finding the sleeves and finally found 6x6 page protectors at AC Moore, if you need/want any let me know and next time I go to get more i will pick up a few packs for you and send them your way.

I would LOVE to do another reipe swap for Christmas, i could make two sets for my family again as Christmas gifts, worked out great this past Christmas.

[Games]

I seen on a blog somewhere... making plastic sleeves for enves..You cut the sleeve a little bigger and then re seal/melt the cut edge with a tool similar to the wood engraver. I have never done this but always wanted to try. Anyone seen this before?
