Natalie's Custom Creations

I HAVE RECENTLY RETYPED ALL OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES.
I COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING, SO IN AN EFFORT TO BE MORE ORGANIZED AND ACTUALLY FIND THE CORRECT RECIPES IN MY BOOK, I REPRINTED, LAMINATED, HOLE PUNCHED, LABELED, AND FOLDER-ED! INSTEAD OF DOING THE SAME FOR ALL MY FRIENDS (BECAUSE I'M TOO CHEAP AND LAZY) I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE PUBLIC, VIA MY GOOGLE DOCS, ALL OF MY RECIPE DOCUMENTS. BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT EVERY PAGE LOOKS LIKE.

THIS MAY SEEM ALL VERY CONVOLUTED, BUT IT'S RATHER SIMPLE ACTUALLY.

THE FILES WERE TO LARGE TO CONVERT SO YOU MIGHT FIRST NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE WORD PROCESSOR THAT I TYPED THEM IN. MAYBE NOT, BUT I DIDN'T TRY OPENING THEM IN ANY OTHER PROGRAM. SO JUST IN CASE HERE IT IS (IT'S OPEN OFFICE AND IT'S FREE):

WE HAVE A COLORED PRINTER SO I JUST PRINTED AT HOME. I BOUGHT A $30 LAMINATOR FROM COSTCO THAT COMES WITH THE SHEETS NEEDED, AND YOU CAN GET CHEAP REFILLS FOR IT ON AMAZON. THREE HOLE PUNCHED AND GOT A SUPER CUTE MASSIVE BINDER FROM TARGET TO PUT THEM IN.
