It is easier to be a scholar than to be a Saint. ~ St. Josemaria Escriva

OK, I had that experience where you type a nice entry and it disappears!

I learned how to printout index cards on my printer at home.  I am so excited!  I love office supplies, but have a special love for index cards.  They are so inexpensive, I can get all the neat ones at Office Depot, and it is neat. 

I have been using index cards for everything I could think of for years.  Flashcards (of course) notes, addresses, chores, vocabulary words, terms, math facts, notes to people, reminders to me, you name it - if I could think it, my index cards could be it.  

I was happy to find http://www.homeschoolwithindexcards.com/ - I purchased the first Quick Guide Molly wrote,  and was pleased to find some new ideas.  So, today when I got her update email describing Beginning Book for Early Learners - it looked really neat - like something I will definately use (and would have done again anyway in some form by hand) but, I knew I wouldn't be able to do the print on index cards thingy.  I am not at all tech-savy I have teenagers and their friends for that :0)  Well, imagine my surprise when I bopped on over to the freebie page (love freebies) only to find detailed directions on just how to print on index cards.  I must admit, it took me a bit to figure out just where to put the index cards in my printer - but once I did, BINGO!  I printed out a couple of the free files and boogied on over to paypal and am now - as I type (again) - printing out my new book!  WOOPIE!!!

I am taking another look at Spelling Solutions.  Seems more appealing now that I can print my index cards!  Now, if I can figure out how to make up the pages to print my own, I am totally in business.  I see neatly printed catechism questions in my future!
