Recipes.....

So I have like 6,000 recipes (I may be exagerrating a bit) that are all written on....pretty much anything and everything. 
post-it-notes
envelopes
bills
napkins
a birthday card (sorry mom)

You name it, if it's able to be written on, it's probably stuffed inside one of my cook books.
But, now my cookbooks are stuffed disturbingly full.
And now I have a stack...maybe a pile, of "recipes".

I always get sidetracked looking for a recipe (which takes for EVER in my unorganized mess anyways).
See, some of these are insanely old.  I have the recipe for potato salad, sloppily written on the back of a grocery list.  I can still remember talking to my mom on the phone, writing it down.  It was when I was with my kids' dad, before we were married.  (side note: I also remember we had company over for a bbq that night and they teased me about my "smashed potatoe salad"....yeah, over cooked the tators just a bit)  I can't remember what the heck I did yesterday, but I can pour over these recipes reminiscing about who I got them from and who I fixed it for and how many times it took me to perfect it.

I need my very creative friend to help me think of something to do with them....I'm sure she can come up with some thrifty idea with all the thrifty shopping she's been doing... :)
