Recipe Collection

Just one more post about my new found cooking obsession, and then I'll start posting about real things. Perhaps even a list of new years resolutions before January is over??
Being the type-A organization queen, I have long been a fan of files. I have a filing drawer in my desk, as well as a couple adorable file holders on top of my desk, all from my favorite type-A loving stationary store The Paper Source (seriously please click on that link. Their stuff makes me cry with a beautiful mixture of joy and pain that can only come from overpriced grown up school supplies.)
Anyway, this system works for the usual sorting. Ya know: articles, bills, stamps, pictures of dream homes, and the like, but for recipes it just wasn't cutting. I filled two folders with magazine tear outs and computer print outs, and was just not feeling inspired... So I decided to make a recipe binder.. and voila!

One hour, twelve bucks, and a trip to office depot later... I have my very own, 3-ring binder complete with 8 dividers separating recipes into the following categories: appetizers, meat, seafood, vegetables, pasta, sides & soups, desserts, & breakfast.

And that's it.. I'm pretty proud of my creation!

I'm clearly behind in the times though because I still haven't even switched over to 2009 calendars. I use my iCal for most things, so that's set but I still want to get a calendar to hang up & a refill for my planner. I was hoping since January is half way over this adorable calendar would have already gone on sale, but on second look at the Paper Source website I think I might just have to cave and pay full price, because really its far too adorable not to own.

Paper source is one of my favorite stores. Why didn't I think to go there to pick up some cute things for my desk?

I was just there, too...
