As per Thermomixblogger's admission about the post it notes last year... I was a serial recipe post it noter in the kitchen. :P
The splashback was covered with tiny multicoloured post its with regularly used recipes on them. They'd stay until they fell off and I redid them! ???
However, I came up with a much better solution using A5 laminator pouches and a shower curtain ring! They are double sided and loop around for ease of selection! :-)) And yes, they work... now the kids have no excuses for not cooking! ;)
I promised to put photos up (yes, I'm slack... I know. :-[)... but TA DAH! Here they are finally. 8)

:) Great idea.

Good one!

You've been busy Ceejay. That gives me an idea for Dinner Spinner - might be easier to access the cards ;)
How many of the kids have a dabble with the TMX?

I have an A4 plastic expanding file thingy which has about 10 or 12 dividers in it. I print off any recipe that I want to try at some time, add any alterations, tips, pictures etc., and laminate them. They then get popped into the expanding file thingy under their relevant category. I have made up an updatable index in the front of it in case I loose something, or don't know what I want for dinner. When I choose a recipe, I clip it onto a handy little clipboard with a folding leg (which DH just wizzed up for me). It then sits happily on the breakfast bar while I make my recipe up. You can see the plastic clipboard in action here.

Great idea ceejay.
Love the stand Nola
H :)

thats great ceejay - your own little Dinner Spinner! Great to hear your kids are in the kitchen :)
-
It works well with Dinner Spinner - love the idea. Thanks Ceejay. I was lucky enough to find an O-ring here which completely opened and was therefore so easy to pop the cards on and close it up again.

Nola I love your stand.
Clever Ceejay. A great idea.

Thanks everyone... this has been floating around my kitchen for around 4 or 5 months now... I've just been too busy to take photos! :D :D They've been quite a hit here. 8) I'm thinking I need to split it into two as the favourite recipes (of the kids) grow. One for savoury, one for sweet! ;)

So far JD, we have 5 of them using it confidently. Plus the youngest one at 4, who is chief "TMX turner offerer". :D

Glad it worked JD! I use a shower curtain ring as it's so light! :P

Brilliant idea, might have to make that a holiday job for the kids!

Great idea Ceejay,thank you :-*

That is indeed a great Idea Ceejay.
Not long after I joined the forum in Nov 2009, I also posted about how much I use the shower curtain rings for this purpose, as well as for organizing little things that tend to disappear in drawers, in the smaller Zip Lock baggies. as quite a few can be fitted on one ring. Especially little things that have sharp teeth that when stored in a drawer, inevitably "find" your fingers with the sharp bits when you are digging for other things. - for me it is usually under a fingernail.
It was in this post. (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2308.15)
I also have things that I want to keep dust-free so I don't have to rinse them before use in these baggies, thermometers are grouped together as I have several.

And here are a couple of the "toothy things" baggies.
