Is there a way to see samples of cheerful cursive before I buy it. I cant find samples anywhere...and I am usually pretty good at that!
So, if anyone can help me out, i would appreciate it!
thanks!!

Johanna,
Like you I have searched high and low and can not find samples of it anywhere. I have looked at Cheerful Cursive several times, but since I wasn't able to find a sample or even a comparison of what it might look like I never tried it. Hopefully someone will be able to give us a clue.

I, too, have looked for samples of Cheerful Cursive and have not been able to find one. I, too, would love to see samples so I can decide if I want to use it with my children or not.

Have you checked your local Christian book store? Mine has a 'homeschool' section, and I have seen that book on the shelf before so it might be worth checking out.

Maybe you can get one sweet mom on the board to post a picture from their kiddo's book? We don't have permission from the publisher to post a sample page, but a mom taking a pic of her own child's book is different.
Blessings,
Carrie

Ok, ladies! Those who have CC, you will be famous to our inquiring minds who are axious to see samples! Please post your pics
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
On a side not, I think its pretty silly

that the publisher wont allow samples to be seen. In my humble opinion, they would have more customers if they did! I find it very hard to buy a cursive program w/o seeing the style first.

I agree. I have even been to the publisher website and they don't have samples there either.

I am bumping this up in hopes that someone who was away for the holiday will see it and be able to help us out.
Thanks!

Thank you, Carrie. I had looked at that post before, but with me having dial up sometimes I don't let all the pictures load, so I missed that one.

Thanks Carrie. I hadnt seen her blog before. That helps a lot to see the style of cursive. It is nice and simple which is what I am looking for. No fancy curly cues or swirls or anything like that .
Thanks!
