I'm ready to report on my recipe binders! They've been a lot of work, but I'm really excited about how they have turned out. I've used them as is a couple of times and I think they will be really functional... that's the true test!
I used a free download for the spine and front from PrudentBaby.com 
I made my own tabs. Then used some of the recipe dividers from ControllingMyChaos.com and also created some of my own.


My old system was 4x6 cards, so I have picture holders for those cards and sheet protectors for all my other recipes. I'm hoping this will be a simple way to keep things organized because I can put recipes in straight from a magazine or after printing them off the computer.

Whew! I'm getting organized one step at a time!

Congratulations! That is a major accomplishment! They look great! Enjoy!
Way to go. I have a the longer-burger recipe basket, which I love....for me, I think a binder would get in my way - but then again, I don't have a lot of counter-top space. Is there a difference between the blue and yellow binders? Is the yellow desserts only?
I was glad to finally do mine. Yours look way fancy and super cool!!
Wow, I totally need to do something like this. Maybe it will be one of my summer projects. Good job!
Molly, what is a longer-burger recipe basket. And yes, yellow is desserts.
Thanks Natalie,
I think I'm ready to tackle the recipe cupboard now. AKA the cupboard with loose papers and recipes falling out of it when I open the door.
GENIUS!
