Hi Lyn Hut, I use a really inexpensive "newsprint" pad. I purchase the 9 x 13 pad at the dollar store in the kids art section. I use my rotary cutter to cut it to 8 1/2 x 11 for the printer. I have an inexpensive printer and have to feed the sheets in one at a time, but it works great.
Jump right in Cajun and anyone else who wants to join. I think it's Maryland next. You can post right along, the only difference is you have more to do in January. But I know I'll be trying to put all these stars together. Maybe even starting on a Red,White,Blue. It's been so fun, and it really adds up fast.
