Kitchen measurements, for a change

Just to share
There are 2 Cups in a Pint
There are 2 Pints in a Quart
There are 4 Quarts in a Gallon

 Two “C’s” fit inside a “P,” two “P’s” fit inside a “Q,” and four “Q’s” fit inside a “G.” Brilliant!

It still takes a few minutes of mental visualization, but with this diagram in mind, you can easily figure out that there are four cups in a quart, 16 cups in a gallon, and so on.
I decided to make my own version of Mrs. Rivera’s chart to print and hang in my kitchen. If you click on the link below, you can print one out too!

Memorial Day Weekend OWH

This weekend, I have been busy working on the Free Digital Stamps Blogspot giving out all the sites that have been offering freebies. I can not say enough about this bloghop. We as card makers can give so much even with one or two cards to the people who put more than a stamp on our freedom. So I encourage everyone to give a simple card. Not a lot of stuff on it just, you know, simple and go to their site and they will tell you where to send it in your "neck of the woods". I am so thankful to all the people who give it to the freedom, ie. the families, the significant others etc. so I can wake up in this great country. MAC today (Make a Card)!
