A craft and a tag

I have this old hand written cookie recipe of my grandmother's that I kept through the years in a cookbook, and I decided to preserve it in a way that I could display it and look at it as often as I wanted to. My grandmother was very, very special to me and I love seeing her handwriting. I remember when we baked these cookies, many times, how much fun it was to mix the ingredients, the wonderful aroma of them baking, and what a treat it was to eat them. But most of all just the warm, loving, caring feeling of being with her.

So what I did was paint a small canvas with a creamy colored paint.




Next, I mod podged the recipe on to the canvas, and put several coats on top, left it dry, and that's it ~ a little piece of art!


Now I have her cookie recipe displayed where I can look at it often, and remember what a sweet lady she was.
