Take-Home Thanksgiving Recipe Booklet + Guest Posting

Good Morning!  Can you believe the holiday season begins in less than two days?!  Yikes!

Today I am guest posting over at Fischer's Finds to share Last Minute Thanksgiving Decor ideas - please stop over to check it out.  I did some research and found some great, easy ideas in case you are hosting.  But, before you head over to check out those ideas, I have one more Thanksgiving idea to share with you and it's my favorite!

I came across this cute idea for take-home recipe booklets in the November issue of Better Homes & Gardens and decided to re-create it!


Seriously, how cute and handy is this idea?! 

So much good food is served at Thanksgiving and there are so many great recipes I have always wanted to get like my aunt Diane's corn bread, my aunt Lori's sweet potato casserole with candied nuts and my mom's homemade bun recipe, to name a few.  You could easily turn your holiday feast into a mini recipe exchange.  OR if you are cooking the whole meal and using recipes that you know will be an instant hit, you could type all of your recipes, print and bind them really quick and offer them to guests as a party favor!


Here's what you need:
Construction paper
White printer paper
Labels (I used Martha Stewart labels)
Stapler
Marker
Ribbon
Glue dots

Ready for the super easy instructions?!  

1. Cut all of your paper in half, lengthwise.
2. Put your white paper on top of your construction paper and fold in half.
3. Staple the folded end to hold the booklet together.
4. Tie a ribbon over the staples and secure with glue dots.
5. Stick a label on the front.
6. Write your message!



Enjoy!
