Fabulous Tabs!

Find recipes and favorite pages fast in your magazines - by marking the pages with tabs.  I like it better than folding back pages - which I've done for years. 

The tabs  I added to my magazine last December, helped me find the recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark in February!

Maybe I'll start color-coding pages with tabs...like blue for crafts, green for gardens, pink for decor, and purple for recipes....or maybe not.

I made one batch of bark using
Bittersweet Baking Chocolate
and another batch
using Milk Chocolate Candy Melts.

 My daughter, Faith, prefers the dark chocolate.
I like the milk chocolate.
Both are delicious!
