I finally finished my niece’s recipe box and the video that goes with it.  I had to laugh when I was reviewing the footage, because I wear maybe eight different outfits when I’m filming it.  Each segment is around a minute to two minutes long, but that equated to at least an hours’ worth of work.  I’m not sure how long it took to finish, but probably ten to twelve hours once you factor in making the divider cards.  I really had a great plan in making the divider cards, you know the things that say “breads” or “desserts” in a recipe box.  Unfortunately, I didn’t factor in how dingy I can be.  I glued two cards together with the heading on the inside of the pieces I glued together.  I printed three cards with the words half on and half off of the page.  I jammed the printer.  I used the We R Memory Keepers envelope board to punch notches in the cards.  That worked great until I lined them up incorrectly and punched too close to the word and had to scrap that card.  All in all, I probably make twice as many cards as I needed to because of all of the mistakes I made.  I am happy with the way they look though and hope my niece will really like this box.  You never know.
