Several participants in our Block of the Month have emailed about problems printing this page. Seems that some printers are printing the text, but not the images. I've converted this page to a .pdf file hoping that it will solve the printing problem. Click here to open the .pdf file. The first time I printed the .pdf file, it clipped off some of the text. I had to choose "Shrink oversized pages to paper size" in my print screen and it printed perfectly! If you can not print this page or the .pdf file, please let me know! |
