You have all
been so patient with me, not to mention really good sports, as I’ve been
hinting about my BIG HUGE project
and what it might possibly be. Well, at
long last I’m going tell you all about it.
Some of you guessed it was a book and you’d be right about that! It is a book, but it is also a journal!
Many, many, many
of my long time readers from my old blog Thrifty Mom In Boise have been asking me to do a recipe book or a book on
tips and tricks of thrifty living and that is what I’ve been working on, but
with a twist. I went through eleven
years of recipes and articles compiling the best of the best into this
project. I even added some recipes that
were not on the blog. Not only is it a
recipe book (with wipe off pages!), but it is also has a section called “Pearls
Of Wisdom” with tips and tricks to save money at the grocery store, meal
planning, school lunches, stockpiling, pretty much all things food related.
Additionally, it
is a journal with areas to expand and add your own recipes, food related
memories, meal ideas, whatever you want.
Places to tuck things like coupons and gift cards, recipes you might
clip from a newspaper or magazine.
Plus! A surprise ephemera pack is
enclosed with each one to get you started so you can make this journal your
very own.
I put my heart
and soul into this journal along with a
lot of thought. Each journal is
unique, no two are identical as far as the styling, but the information
contained inside is consistent with each one.
Journals need to be tailored to the owner so that is what you will have,
the opportunity to tailor this journal to meet your specific needs and
requirements.
We have a three
volume set of journals in mind, based on how well the first one does. Volume one is based on all things food
management related. Volume two will be
based on home management and volume three will be all things Christmas and
other celebrations!
Right now we are
doing a “soft launch”. I am listing Thrifty Mom In Boise A Journal For Everyday Living Volume 1 available for sale on eBay with a lower introductory rate
of $49.95 throughout the month of September for those of you interested in
purchasing a copy. The reason I chose
eBay is so I can ship them internationally as I have a lot of readers outside
the U.S. and I wanted them to have an opportunity as well.
I am ever so
grateful for the chance to do this and it wouldn’t have been possible without
the great readers I have. Thank you for
following along with me all these years and for the massive amounts of
encouragement to do this. I’m praying
this goes well so I can offer the additional two volumes in the near future. I hope you like it. Happy Cooking! Happy Eating!
Happy Journaling!!
I’m so excited for you!! Woot woot!, I just ordered mine!
