Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hi Jenni, I asked my niece last year what she needed for Christmas. She said, since I'm away in Chicago in college would you share some of your wonderful recipes with me so I can cook for myself and my new friends on the weekends, just photocopy them and put inside a Christmas card. I found a blank journal book with a butterfly on the front and filled it from one end to the other with all the recipes she grew up eating and bunches more of my favorites. I put some in there from Gran too and I cut little quotes out of magazines and cute little pix, etc. She cried her eyes out when she opened that gift and she said she uses her book all the time but she always has a tear of joy in her eyes when she opens it. Now she is passing my recipes on to some of her friends back there, so I know how precious your book is too you Jenni.......Donna Jenni Billings <jenni wrote: YES!! sometime I'll take a picture of my all time favorite... It is a composition book that I've written all my favorite recipes in... with every move it comes right with me, in MY Backpack, never packed by movers! It has notes and drawings my daughter and son have done taped to the cover, it is my most priced book. It is time to start a new one, but I don't want to! lol... even thought I know it will be come as valued to me as this one.... =) it is full of love... it seeps out the sides of that cookbook, and adds to each recipe I make from it! =) hugs, jenni On Saturday, August 27, 2005, at 10:34 PM, GeminiDragon wrote: > is really giving me problems tonight. > Sends before I reply or it freezes up.
