Though I own many cookbooks, I tend to make McFarlane action figures same items over and over when having guests Star Wars dinner or when taking a dish to a potluck.

If you're like me, you're often asked for the recipe of the dishes you've made.

Consider having recipe cards pre-made before dinner so that when guests ask for the recipe, you already have it typed out for them.

Each of my cookbooks has favorites also. I've written notes on pages, highlighted Ghost Rider etc. When the recipe is just perfect, I type it onto recipe cards. Then when I make the recipe I have the cards ready to hand out when I'm asked for the recipe.

You can make recipe cards right at home on your computer. Buy the heavier cardstock paper. You can put borders on each card just like the store bought ones. You can add color and anything else you want to the card.

I use a word processor to type up the recipe then copy it six times to fit on 6 cards which is an 8 x 11 sheet of heavy card stock.

I can store the ready-made recipes in a folder, or cut them up and store them in the back of the SpiderMan I have the original on the computer, so as soon as I've handed out 6 of them I can print more.

You can do a web search for "free recipe cards" and you'll find several free downloads of cards you can customize. Download them to your computer and then either type up your recipes or hand write in the recipe on cards you can't customize.

Are you attending a bridal shower? Consider buying a metal ring and attaching several of your recipe cards to the ring and including this with whatever gift you are giving the bride to be.

Do you know a student either moving out or just graduating and moving into their own home? Again, consider the metal ring with several easy to prepare recipes attached. I've given this as a gift with several ingredients from the recipes to college students and they've loved it.

By creating your recipe cards before the potluck dinner or before the guests arrive, you won't have the stress of trying to remember to get the diner the recipe after you leave or they return home.

Audrey's mom always entertained when she was growing up. Audrey learned to prepare for large groups and has often entertained 15-30 people in her home at a time. You can find more great recipes at http://www.recipe-barn.com

Sometimes it is better if my title on the specific card that I hand out is not president or owner, but more something like "Manager", "Senior Analyst" or "project manager" or stuff like this. I always search the web for great deals or offers on free business cards and actually have saved over 20% total compared to the larger orders of a generic business cards that I used to place before.

It's also easier 1965 Topps baseball cards to replace an existing design with a new one. I truly see this as a major advantage and have been pretty happy with the results accordingly. I completely abandoned white, cheap looking cards with black text and have only ordered full colored business cards in the last 2 years.
