Beautiful.I made a page or two for Eve's scrapbook maybe a colupe of months after she died, but it was just too hard.  So all of the stuff has been packed up.  One day...I'm glad that you could start.  I hope it's a peaceful journey.  One small step at a time... Big hugs.

Some printers aclautly use color to print black (for instance, some mix in a little yellow). So you do need the color cartridge, even if you're only printing black. If you never print color, a laser printer might be a better choice.

I agree, any topic connected with the Civil War would be a great chioce.  Try to find a more specific topic within this subject to focus on (what kind of weapons were in use, Andersonville prison camp, The Confederate States of America, etc.).
