Recipe Box & Blog Candy Fun!

Hello everyone! As promised, it is time for my first blog candy contest! But first, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to be more organized and to lose weight. In order to begin both of those goals, I bought a wooden box from A.C. Moore in the hopes of creating a recipe box. Here is a picture of the box:

Then I bought the recipe kit from Close To My Heart. It is found in the card kits and uses the paper Let's Get Together. The kit comes with recipe cards, cardstock dividers and a sheet of matching stckers. I altered the box to look like this:


All the goodies:
Now, onto the blog candy! Now that I have 50 recipe cards, I need reciped to fill them up! So, anyone who sends me a recipe (low fat, healthy etc.) is automatically entered to win - drum roll please- CTMH's March Stamp of the Month!!! Check the side for the link to see the stamp set. It is called Butterfly Wings and it is beautiful! As a bonus, if you include the nutrition (calories, fat grams, carbs and protein), your name will be entered twice!

The contest will run from March 1st to March 7th. I will pick a winner on the 8th. You can post your recipe here or e-mail it directly to me at jabe6126@optonline.net. Thanks everyone for helping me out!

Have a great night and I look forward to getting all those yummy recipes!
