Create Your Own Student Workbooks With Perforated Paper
When you were a kid do you remember using a workbook in school? The pages in the workbook were perforated so that they could be easily removed and the workbook would be filled with all sorts of fun (and maybe not so fun) activities.

These workbooks can be very expensive and cannot be reused. For this reason, a lot of schools are choosing to use perforated copy paper to create their own workbooks. Here is a quick step by step guide to creating your own student workbooks.

No CommentsLooking for Mr. or Miss Right – Part 4
Who on earth would have ever guessed I would be looking for “Mr. Right” at 60. I always thought I would have my life figured out, would be living my dream life with my dream man somewhere in my dream house. Actually, that did happen, but then that’s another story I’ll fill you in on later.
I do feel more hopeful today than the day I turned 20, on my first day in flight attendant training. The year was 1967. We were called “stewardesses” and wore uniforms with little pillbox hats and white gloves, even though mini-skirts and long hair were the current mode. I got busted twice after starting my flying career. Once, when I was Read the rest of this entry »

No CommentsIdeal gifts between $50 and $200 for women – Part 2
Two years ago – my boyfriend bought me some long stem red roses, a big card saying ‘I love you’ and a beautiful silver necklace. The roses were a classical sign of love, the card (which he had hand made) showed he’d not done just a last-minute shop and the necklace was just beautiful and made me feel special when I wore it. Any of these things (or all of them) are great ideas in my opinion.
You could make her feel really gorgeous and buy her a dress and spend the rest of the money on a day or night out.

No CommentsFall wedding theme ideas
When you think of weddings, you usually associate them with spring and summer. These seasons have been known as “wedding season” for years, particularly the months of May and June. Most brides planning their big day choose these months because of the pretty weather, warm temperatures, and abundant flowers that come with them.

There are several different themes you can go with for an autumn wedding. The most popular idea would be a harvest theme. This is an easy theme to accomplish because there are Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsRecommended card games for teens – Part 5
There are many good card games to play, but for teens, its a whole other story. When one becomes a teenager, their thoughts and feelings are going to change, along with what they’re interested in, so games like Go Fish are not a good idea.
Some good games for teens would be Rummy and 5 Card Stud. These are more advanced games that will appeal to what teens want. Teenagers will be interested in any game that has to do with gambling or casinos, but leave the gambling part out.
Games like 31 and Blackjack will help teach mathematical skills which will help in later in school. These are fun ways to Read the rest of this entry »
