InstantMonologues.com continues to grow, and with my new batch of 25 printable monologues, I have nearly 100 classic and original monologues to offer, all of which are free to use and royalty-free.

My new batch includes comedic monologues for both men and women. There are excerpts from Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Ben Jonson’s Volpone, and even the lyrics of a song in Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirate of Penzance. Original comedic monologues include a burned-out rock star, a nervous young adult, and a man stranded on a desert island.

The more dramatic monologues cover a lot of classic examples, including Shakespeare’s King Richard III, Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, and Euripides’ Medea. Original material includes musings from a funeral director on the brevity of life, a little girl who pretends to have a pet unicorn, and a man who’s dying of cancer.
All 96 monologues at InstantMonologues.com are available to download and print for free as a PDF or DOC. Each one has been specially formatted to read like a script page.

Efficiency is a big deal when it comes to the workplace, and a lot of companies like to see how many hours go into big projects. That’s why I’m doing something a little different with the cool new printable time sheets at PrintableTimeSheets.net. All of them are project management templates that use charts and graphs to show how much time has gone into a project.

The new project management time sheets are visually attractive and easy to use. Many of them track the hours that go into a project and its smaller tasks, and then create a graph that compares the ideal number of hours with the actual hours worked. There are also templates that show progress, overtime, multiple workers, and multiple projects. The charts and graphs update automatically depending on the values entered.
You can choose from Gantt charts, PERT charts, Critical Analysis time sheets, Burndown rates, percentage breakdowns, pie charts, bar charts, and line graphs.

In addition to the new project management templates, I also have daily, weekly, monthly, and biweekly time sheets. PrintableTimeSheets.net has 159 time sheets available as a free PDF or a $9 XLS file. With Microsoft Excel, the XLS version will automatically calculate hours, breaks, wages, taxes and more.

2015 is already well underway, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to start planning your year, especially if you’re thinking more of the long term. That’s why I have new long-term planners, student planners, and monthly planners available at PrintablePlanners.net.

If you’re a student, you probably want to be thinking about more than just the next semester. That’s why I have a five year planner and a ten year planner that start in 2015 and run through 2020 and 2025, respectively. You can use them to plan ahead or look back on what you’ve accomplished over the years.

Students will also like my new black-and-white student planners. Like the more colorful versions, these track assignments, tests, grades, and applications, but they’re cheaper to print.

For everyone else who wants to get organized, I have both weekly and monthly planners. Both sets are colorful, labelled, and organized by errands, shopping, appointments, and regular tasks.

Overall, there are now 445 templates at PrintablePlanners.net that can be printed in seven sizes (from a full-page executive size to a mini planner that’s only 2.75” x 5”). All of the planners are free to download and print as PDFs, and all have three-ring binder holes along the side for easy organization. The entire planner collection is available as one quick download for only $9.

The art of letter-writing in the digital age isn’t lost, and to celebrate that I’ve got a new batch with 50 new printable stationery templates at FreePrintableStationery.net. This batch covers everything from fantasy to different cultures to standard abstract designs.

The new personal stationery features fantasy creatures, including fairies, mermaids, wizards, royal castles, and rearing unicorns. They all come with colorful borders and cute cartoon illustrations.

If you have a pen pal in another country, you might like the new international stationery.

It has pictures of London Bridge, the Chinese flag and skyline, and the United States colors. There are also more abstract stationery designs to the tune of stained glass, pastel shapes, and colored stripes.
There are 515 stationery templates at FreePrintableStationery.net now, all available to download and use as a free PDF or DOC. FreePrintableStationery.net is the sister site of FreeLetterheadTemplates.net, which has more than 200 letterhead templates in a variety of designs. All are available for purchase as a stationery collection for $37.

Easter is coming up! If you’re not prepared for the holiday on April 5, I have a lot of new Easter printables at FreeEasterPrintables.com to help you out, as well as gift tags, coloring pages, borders, and more from my other FreePrintable.net sites.

FreeEasterPrintables.com is a great way to make Easter fun for little kids. There are dozens of letters from the Easter Bunny. Each template is illustrated with pictures of bunnies and eggs, and all the letters address specific situations such as worries, questions, and religious elements of the holiday. All of the letters are “signed” by the Bunny himself. The site also offers crafts such as DIY rabbit ears, and games such as holiday bingo and word jumbles. Each letter, craft or game can be downloaded and printed for free as a PDF. A DOC file is available for $5 and can be edited in a word processor.

If you have more than one kid, you might need to put names on Easter baskets, which is why I have 35 Easter gift tags at FreePrintableGiftTags.net. You can put religious pictures of Jesus, the cross, and the empty tomb on your gifts, or affix pictures of chicks, lambs, and bunnies to your goody bags.

Candy is a standard gift on Easter, but kids will also enjoy the numerous Easter coloring pages I have up at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. They can color in pictures of rabbits, flowers, chocolates and eggs.

If you’re sending more grown up correspondence, you can use the new pastel egg Easter borders at PageBorders.net, or the holiday letterhead from FreeLetterHeadTemplates.net. Office settings can make use of the Easter fax cover sheet at FreeFaxCoverSheets.net. All templates are free to download and print as a DOC, PDF or PNG.

Family dinner can be a big deal on Easter, so make sure that you use the Easter recipe card from FreePrintableRecipeCards.net to share your special recipes with relatives. Choose from 3×5 or 4×6 lined cards and print your favorite as a free PDF or a $7 customizable DOC.
Happy Easter and Happy Printing!

It’s hard to keep track of all of the special diets out there right now. A lot of people have different dietary needs based on medical conditions, allergies, and lifestyles. That’s why the 22 new printable grocery lists at FreePrintableGroceryList.com cover a huge variety of situations and food needs.

The new speciality grocery lists should be considered a recommendation for different diets. Each list features highlighted foods to buy and a warning of which ones to avoid or limit. I have lists for women who are pregnant, nursing, or trying to get pregnant, as well as shopping lists for sufferers of gout, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. For allergies, there are lists for those who are egg-free or not eating white foods. There are even some very specific templates for people who want to bake different kinds of cake, make sushi, or blend a fruit or green smoothie.

Although most of this round goes to specialty diet lists, there are a few menu planners. One calculates the cost of a meal by serving, while another features colorful icons of food instead of names.

There are now nearly 180 grocery lists at FreePrintableGroceryList.com. They come blank or pre-filled, single or multi-columned, illustrated or simple. Each is available as a PDF or DOC file and free to download, customize in Microsoft Word, and print.

I have a lot of exciting stuff up at PrintableWorldMap.net, including two new categories and 45 new printable maps. The brunt of these new additions will be especially great for astronomy and U.S. students, but there’s a little global geography and ancient history in there too.

One of my new categories is constellation maps, which has star maps for avid stargazers and astronomers. There are dozens of major constellations featured here, including Ursa Major, Orion, Gemini, Cancer, and other constellations more commonly associated with horoscopes. You can see the orientation of the constellation, the brightest stars’ names, and imagined lines that make up the shape. Obviously, these change a bit depending on the season.

My other new category divides the United States up into regional maps based on state grouping. You can see the states that make up the Pacific or Atlantic coasts, the South, the Southwest, the Rocky Mountains, and more. Teachers can use these maps to assign projects based on regions.

Additionally, I also have a cute, colored map of the U.S., a map of zip codes and national parks, global maps of longitude and latitude, and maps of both Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece.

All, told, there are around 200 different maps to choose from at PrintableWorldMap.net. There are some that are colored in, there are labeled maps, and then there are blank, line art maps. The latter can be helpful for projects and teaching, while the former can be great for memorization and celebrating culture. Each map is free to download and print as a PDF.

St. Patrick’s Day is a popular holiday in America, and it can be fun this month to use some authentic Celtic lingo. A common word is craic (pronounced “crack”) and it means a good time or good company. Another great way to celebrate is with the St. Paddy borders, coloring pages, and greeting cards at my various FreePrintable.net websites.

Kids especially will enjoy the dozens of St. Patrick’s Day coloring pages at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. You can use these for art, gifts, or classroom activities. They have pictures of leprechauns, pots of gold, and plenty of shamrocks.
Each picture can be downloaded and printed for free as a PNG file.

If you’re a teacher looking for a fun, educational way to enjoy the holiday, you can use the St. Patrick’s Day writing prompts for elementary and middle school students at FreeWritingPrompts.net. The prompts are available to download, edit and print as free DOC files, and can foster creative thinking and storytelling.

Holiday cheer doesn’t just belong in schools, though. Feel free to spread some throughout the workspace with the St. Patrick’s Day fax cover from FreeFaxCoverSheets.net. It shows a highly inaccurate depiction of St. Patrick trying to fax the snakes out of Ireland. If you’d rather just send a letter, there are several brand-new St. Patrick’s Day borders that are perfect as stationery. They’re decorated with green borders of leprechauns and clovers.

For a more traditional greeting, use one of the St. Patrick’s Day greeting cards from FreePrintableGreetingCards.net. They’re decorated with pictures of shamrocks, animals, and pots of gold. PDFs are free to print and a customizable version can be purchased for $4 and edited in a word processing program. There are also a Saint Patrick gift tag available at FreePrintableGiftTags.net if you’re giving presents to family or friends. It’s available for free as a PDF or DOC.

Here’s hoping you have some great craic on St. Patrick’s Day—Happy Printing!

If you’ve ever struggled to give a presentation on a country or even just find which continent it’s on, then I have a lot of new printables for you. FreePrintableFlags.com has 80 new printable flags that are fully illustrated, each one representing a different country.

All of the new flags are categorized by continent, so it might be easy for you to find popular Africa flags like Egypt, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Sudan, and the Republic of Congo. But would you also recognize Djibouti, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, and Togo? These printable flags are great learning tools for all ages.

There are a lot of new Asia flags as well, where you’ll also find many Middle Eastern countries. Some of these include Afghanistan, Turkey, Iraq, and Yemen.

I hope to someday create flags that represent all of the nearly 200 countries in existence. In the meantime I have a whopping 131 printable flags. You can download and print all of them as a free PDF.
