Busy, busy!

Time is flying by, almost 1/4 of the year has past! I am working on entering all my info into FTM 2008. I haven't used a genealogy program since I lost everything in a computer crash about 3 years ago, so have a lot to enter.

I also have some links for some sewing projects, both really nice bags, both have really good tutorials also. Use left over ribbons from projects for the first, and fat quarters or left over fabric for the other.

Ribbon tote:

Then one using those fat quarters:

Save Money on Printing

If you want to save money on printing, use draft mode and ecofont. This will save you a lot.
I print out a lot of my research, charts, logs, etc. I have used the draft mode (also called
quick print) often, and to save paper had been using Arial font. Using a larger font often
means more paper, so try printing on both sides also. I just downloadedecofont and hope
it saves me even more on printing by buying less ink cartridges. Ecofont is free:
