A giftie

Standard

Here’s a few of the pages from my friend’s collage book I made as a gift for her graduation from culinary school. I wanted to use all vintage prints and such. The middle is the baking section and I made a pocket to hold a Swann’s flour baking pamphlet from about 1917 and some bookmarks to save recipes (Brian gave me these and I gave some to her). It was fun to make to get my mind off my sinus cold. I hope she likes it (and doesn’t see this!). I’ll probably mail it today.

The tabs say ‘eat, drink and be merry’; ‘Food’, ‘fun’ ‘friends’, etc.

Baking pages

She just got married this past June so the one cake is a wedding cake. I’m from PA., so that’s why I chose the Hershey cookbook cover.

Baking pages with vintage pamphlet & bookmarks

So I want to go to the post office and maybe Sean and I will head to Kohl’s as they sent me $20 in coupons (if I spend increments of $50) for buying my galaxy ring. This is a good time of the year to check out the winter clothing too. Not to say I’ll buy anything. I do need a change of scenery, though most of my tree ornaments are laying on the dining room table right now! I broke a pretty one today too. : (

  1. I am sure your friend with love the book!

    So sorry to hear that you broke a favorite ornament. I still have my big tree up. I just haven’t been motivated to take it down yet.
