Sunday Sit, Sip, and “Sync” ~ 12-11-2011
Let the “downloading” begin…
This week we’ve included some Holiday fonts to download to use for bulletin boards, banners, newsletters, Christmas cards, SMARTBoard lessons, and (gasp) worksheets.
(Sometimes a kid just wants a pencil, and that’s okay, too.)
The first site contains 24 different holiday fonts and symbols, many appropriate just for winter.
Holiday fonts from a “How to Geek” Girl.

Finally, I am including a link to a Microsoft Template that can be used with Avery Label products to print your own gift tags. We always rely on Microsoft as a free, safe, and copyright-free resource.
Have a wonderful Sunday,
and now I am off to buy Christmas tree lights and choose the “perfect tree” to complete a few more things on my “Holiday To-Do List”.
