Master score sheets and game rotations for 16-person euchre card tournament or club. This digital download is available with a white background with color-coded player sheets. These were created when I formed a euchre club 2 years ago and they have been a hit and easy to use!

I'm happy to say I've made 16 new friends and our euchre nights are filled with lots of laughs. I hope these euchre score sheets and rotations bring you the same fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to request any changes or personalization!

I've had Interstitial Cystitis (IC) my entire life. I turned 26 this week, so that means 26 years of living with this chronic condition. I thought it would be helpful to share a few things I've learned on my journey to solving my IC puzzle. Here's 16 things I've learned over the years (26 was too many LOL):1. IC is not a death sentence. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it will take time to solve your IC puzzle. Be patient, and remain optimistic. 2. Find support right away. Connectin

However, I've recently taken the time to streamline my speaking and listening lessons by collecting these quick, engaging TED Talks. I've also paired each of these TED Talks with a specific speaking or listening skill.

At the moment, I am making millions of these for our upcoming school ball (as in to fundraise for our children - not me gatecrashing a prom at the age of 37). They are so easy and fun and am sensing another tutorial on the way. Hope you all had a good weekend. Lots and lots of love, Kate. xxooxx.
