well I thought I had it finished the other day and had left some of the cut and past up to John, he brought home what he had done and it didn't look that good and a bunch of the recipes were missing...

So I spent all of Tuesday "fixing it" It is done and not quite as good as I would like, but it is DONE and has been shipped to Arizona.

We showed it to some people & thought it was Great so I guess I am being more critical of myself than I need to...

Now I have a better idea of HOW to do it, adding to it will be MUCH easier and hopefully will have more time for the NEXT one..

We have scanned all the pages into the computer and made a CD so I can go from there.

I just sorted a bunch of my recipes (from my family) and will slowly work on getting those (and photo's) into my computer and make books for my side of the Family.

My mother in law (whom I adore) said oh, I was going to tell you to forget about doing it and do it for next year... I said Mom we did it for you and it was a "labor of love" She is soooo excited it was worth it just to hear the excitement in her voice.. I can't wait for her to see it.. I'm not sure which one of us is more excited.

I am like a kid..waiting for her reaction!!!
