calendars

2012 has been a dramatic year with lots of ups and downs. I try my best to focus on the “ups”, but with compassion for others I also have to embrace & remember the “downs” which includes much suffering for so many others.

Let us hope that 2013 is a kinder, gentler year.

My best wishes to you all….

and a little gift to help you stay organized….

During the year I create small business-card size collage pieces using images cut from cooking magazines, decorating magazines, newspapers & adding drawings using Sharpies and paint pens. This is what I do when I am watching TV. I cannot just sit and watch. I must have busy hands. That is just my way of relaxing.

This is my little gift to you readers & friends. Just look to the left of my Food on Fifth Blog Home Page and click on the images in the “Box” to download and print. Each image has to be downloaded one at a time and saved to your computer. Then print adjusting size.These images work best if printed about 5 x 7 or 4 x 6 and on card stock or matt photo paper. Any heavier paper works great.Just trim using scissors or a paper cutter. I keep them in a metal clip hanging by my desk. Feel free to print and pass on as New Year’s gifts to friends.

happy new year

I know we all keep our dates & appointments on our phones these days, but sometimes I like to actually look at a calendar…the old fashioned paper kind…with pictures to enjoy….that reflect the seasons…

To print these images onto card stock or any printer paper simply drag the image to your desktop and print, best printed around 5 x 7 or 4 x 6…. thumb tack onto a board in your office, or use a magnet to put on your fridge…cut and fold to use as a note card or just use the image as a gift tag or book mark…a paper airplane….whatever you choose….
