Thank you so much for the recipe challenge last week! I started that project over a year ago, and ever since they have been sitting in a bag in our office. I finally had the motivation to finish copying and sorting them into a binder. I have sections for:

Within there, I put tabs on our family favorites so they are easier to find. Main dishes were sorted with chicken together, fish, pork, etc. I kept a pen and extra tabs with the binder for making notes and marking new favorites. The dividers have pockets to stash new recipes in the right place until I can copy them and get them in the binder.I also recycled about 8-10 cook books that had been handed down to me that I finally admitted I would never use. Feels great to finally have this done!!

Thanks so much for sharing these great pictures with me Jackie.I am especially loving your idea to use divider tabs with folder pockets in them! (such as the ones on the right). That’s absolutely brilliant, and I can see how that would make it easier to save the recipes in the right spot until you had time to add them to the binder properly!I also like how you’ve kept your supplies for your recipe binder close at hand so when you need to add a new recipe you can do it quickly and easily, without having to search throughout the house for the supplies. This, all by itself, should help you keep your recipes more organized from now on, since it will be easier to do the one recipe as it comes up. Great job, and please send me more updates from other challenges when you’ve completed them too!
