Well, punny you should ask that. At first thought, one might not think the two are related. Crafting and Cooking? Usually, one suffers because all the attention is given to the other! HA!
But really, creativity is creativity – whether you’re painting, scrapbooking, designing jewelry or cooking. And there’s crossover between crafting and cooking (as in many creative outlets) – making tags or labels for your homemade gifts is a simple way to combine your two loves. Or, have you thought about designing a recipe book for a personalized, and very special, gift? The Accordian Album format is perfect for creating a themed recipe booklet – whip up a booklet full of romantic recipes for the anniversary couple, basic recipes for a young bride, baby food recipes for the exhausted mom … the possibilities are endless.So, we’re headed to the Taste of Home Cooking School on Tuesday, Feb. 19. It’s at the Seguin Coliseum and you can learn more about it at www.seguingazette.com. We’ll have a booth with some fun make-n-takes, and there will be several other vendors on hand, as well. Hope to see you there!In the meantime, keep on craftin’ (just remember to clean the paint out of the brush before you baste that bird!)
