Song Sparrow Recipe Box

I just listed this box in the shop yesterday.  It's a recipe card holder that I painted.  I decided to do the song sparrow because I just think they are so cute.  I love their mix of brown and white.

Do you like to collect recipes?  I usually tear them out of magazines, but also have some hand-written ones on note-cards.  I even have one for chocolate bread pudding that my mom gave me at my wedding shower; it's a family recipe :)

I did a bit of searching and found some cute recipe cards you could use to complete the set.  Check them out:

New Journal: Smash

I got a treat at the craft store yesterday.  A Smash journal.  Several people in my life had been encouraging me to journal but I've never really enjoyed the process.  It felt boring and I never went back to read old entries.  But then I had an aha moment when I realized I could make it fun by doodling and gluing things in.  Enter Smashbook. 

I borrowed these off the website, but I got this exact model and have already started using it.  I love that there is a pen/gluestick attached.  The pages are all really unique with backgrounds and prompts.

Does anyone else journal?  What methods have you found work for you?
