Ok, this is modified from a earlier poster's idea so credit where credit is due!! What I am planning on doing is giving out home-made recipie cards to all the moms/dads who bring the kids to my door. It has the host benefits on and what not. I did it all black and white because I will get them copied in black and white - I am far too cheap for Color Copies - hehe! I couldn't figure out how to take off that third page but I print them back to back so it shouldn't be an issue.

It has all my information on it so remember to take it off if you would like to modify!

Happy Halloween
Misty

THAT is a great idea! Thanks for sharing it!!! I don't know a lot of people in my neighborhood, so this is a great way to get to know some of them!

Maybe I can attach it to bamboo tongs or some other little giveaway item--let's not forget the Moms!
