Family Recipe Project

This weekend we celebrated two of my sister's birthdays: Frances and Maryl. I hosted the celebration with a  a family recipe book project. Each person brought recipes to share, and we decorated the pages and divider sections. We had a great time and I love the end result. Here are some pictures of our party and project.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not pictured: Lana and Kacia who left early
Below is a quick video of me flipping through the pages of the recipe book.... 

On another note, I'm currently loving chalkboard style art. These are some items I found at Joann's from My Mind's Eye...so cute!
 Also, here are stamps I just purchased from HSN - Anna Griffin's chalk board stamps...
 The kit includes the stamps along with the green and black chalkboard inks!

 Have a great week!
