One of the conversations at the Utah Meetup was about those mysterious ruler measurements... you know, where on earth is 7/8"? πŸ˜‚

One of the biggest reasons I joined Francis's community was because she took all the guesswork out of scrapbooking. I signed up so I could be creativeβ€”not because I wanted to relearn fractions!

Years ago, I finally admitted defeat and printed a picture of a 1-inch ruler with all the 1/8-inch and 1/16-inch markings. I glued it to cardstock, laminated it, and stuck magnets on the back so it lives on the side of my metal storage cabinet under my desk.

Now, whenever I'm working on one of Francis's books and my brain says, "Nope, not doing fractions today," I just pull out my little cheat sheet. No squinting. No counting tiny lines. No math. πŸ˜†

I thought I'd share in case anyone else belongs to the "Where's 7/8?" Club. You're among friends! πŸ˜‰
