Custom DIY Recipe Box Dividers

Lets see now.... for my last project I gave a makeover to a pine box made in school by a child named “ME”, up-cycling it into a useful recipe box.

It was a sweet redo using a sweet sugar stencil from the Old Sign Stencil collection. You can see the recipe box details here, and the sugar stencil here.

But a recipe box needs dividers so a gal doesn't get confused and concoct something like strawberry meatball poke cake sauce, and when I couldn't find the right sized dividers, with labels that said exactly what I wanted, I made my own. 

Because I have a pretty swell new recipe box, and recipe storage issues.

Many of my projects are special.

At least to me anyway. 

Vintage Dirty Laundry Basket

Do you ever pick something up that you don't need, but feel like you could find a purpose for it just because it's a good price and you kind of like it?

Of course not, I'm the only one.

You can't fool me, I know you do it too, maybe at Home Goods or Target, something ends up in your cart because you can't pass it by?

Well that's what happened to me a few years ago leaving a flea market with some friends. I saw a vintage basket and stand combo marked twenty bucks, and I briefly thought on it and said sure why not, and it came home with me.

First it sat in the garage for a year collecting saw dust. 

Then it went to the shed o'schidt for a couple more years compacting the dirt on it's facade.

And then last week my washing machine broke.
