I love this botanical font by Seth Mach!

[how to use my freebies]



I get some questions about how to use my freebies as I don’t use a downloading system to share my freebies (I don’t have a clue how to do that).

Here are step-by-step instructions how you can use any of my freebies.

1. When you find a freebie you like, right click on the picture, select "save image as" and then you will get this next pop up screen and you need to decide where in your computer you want to save the photo into. Save the photo as a JPG file. That's what I use anyways as I don't have a clue what all those other kind files are. Aren't I so techno savvy? 




2. Open up a new Microsoft Word document. Click "File" and then "Page Setup". Change your Orientation to "Landscape" and make each margin 0.2". Press OK. 


3. Click "Format" and then "Columns". Choose "Three" and make the width of the column 3". Make sure the Equal column width is selected. Press OK.


4. Click "Insert", then "Picture" and then "From File". Find the freebie photo you saved earlier and double click it to insert it into the document. Press the Enter arrow and then repeat the process five more times so that you will have six 3" x 4" journaling cards on one page. Don't leave any spaces between the cards or they won't fit on the page.
Now you are ready to print the document. Just load card stock paper into your printer and then print.

ps. You can click on any of these photos to see them larger.

Hope this helps.

[last day of school and then SPRING break!!]


How can such a small flower (hyacinth) give out so much scent?


Cute lion paper craft idea for kids.


About 20cm last week.


...and today’s weather forecast promises 10 more centimeters but I have a feeling it’ll be more than that.
Tomorrow: SPRING break!! J
As we were stuck in this morning’s traffic (due to snow, some people think that you can’t drive the speed limit when it snows), Sienna and I were laughing so hard about it being SPRING break. 
“Let’s go pick some spring flowers during the break.” 
“Look at the beautiful, green spring trees!” 
“Let’s go for a spring picnic at the park tomorrow.” J

Happy Spring Break tomorrow! Maybe some of you can actually enjoy spring. We tough Canadians can wait. J

ps. This is so cool!

[St. Patrick's Day banner]




We used to host St. Patrick’s Day parties every year but haven’t done that for a while. Even though our home is still not done, we decided it’s time for some Irish fun. Ireland of course is special for us because we met and fell in love there.

I love this shamrock banner I made this morning. Simple is always the best! Shamrocks always remind me of eating wild shamrocks in a forest in (London)derry.
