I have wanted to start a timeline for our history studies for some time now, but have struggled to find something that was just right. I didn't want something too big and cumbersome, or too cluttered. I didn't want something that had a very religious focus, and I wanted it to be attractive and oh yes, inexpensive. Really, that's not too much to ask, is it? I was beginning to think it was.
Patience is not my strongest virtue, but I am very glad I waited around. I asked about timelines on the WTM message boards and got several links to great free resources, including this one where I printed my pages: http://www.ourlosbanos.com/homeschool/history/timeline.html
Okay, so I had the pages... now how to lay them out? Well, I got the idea to put them in a 3 ring binder from www.simplycharlottemason.com. So I hole-punched away, but I still lacked figures. All of my searching online kept bringing up some that looked beautiful, but seemed rather expensive. I made my wish list and just kept hanging on until today, when I noticed someone else asking about timelines. And who should answer but the queen of free resources, with a handy link to her own blog? There she demonstrated how she made her own timeline and used the resources found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hannah_hs_helps/ .
Cue the angel choir!! My printer is busy as I type this, and I am excited to have found exactly what I need... without spending a lot of money! I don't mind some cutting, pasting, and laminating.
