So now I am overly curious as to what the cookbook said to do to the Brussels sprouts! Lol

I will try to find the exact recipe but essentially it instructed one to boil the sprouts to almost mush and THEN bake them. (I take Brussels Sprouts very seriously)

Thank you.

Totally agree that other "hidden paperclip recipes" don't excite me. This method is brilliant. Will do the jumbo paperclips first, then this one. TFS.

I came to make this very suggestion. I do it all the time because I want to use books that belonged to my parents without destroying them. You can also photocopy fabric. I love incorporating bold, colorful prints into my papercrafting and seeing the threads makes me happy for some reason. I've also reduced some of my mom's old scarves and scatter them through my crafts. This would be a super way to incorporate prints that look cool and vintage to others but for me they bring back a rush of beautiful memories.❤
