If you’ve ever been doing laundry and been unable to fold your pants correctly, or if you’ve ever wondered how to safely defrost a chicken, or if you just have no idea how to properly end a letter, then my new batch of 36 printable instruction sheets is for you. I’ve got everything from kitchen help to cleaning hardwood floors to different yoga poses.

Students and teachers can always use guides for any subject. I have a number of academic reference charts, including one that lists common copyediting marks, one that converts fractions to percentages, and one that shows a color scale of a pH balance.
There are several new conversion charts for crochet hook measurements, fabric width, drill bit sizes, degrees and radians, and gluten-free flour.

For more personal how-to guides, I have step-by-step instructions that can easily walk you through the proper way to fold a paper crane, clean a hardwood floor, pray the rosary, rack the balls in a game of pool, and safely remove a tick.

Overall, there are more than 135 printable guides at SwiftTips.com. Each one is available to download and print as a free PDF. From there you can keep them in a convenient and visible location for when you need them the most. Or, share on Facebook and other social media. Each printable has a handy “Pin It” button for Pinterest.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I’m adding a lot of new holiday printables to my FreePrintable.net websites. Among the new additions are brand-new Valentines borders, romantic gift cards and holiday letterhead that join the established certificates, gift tags, coloring pages, and more.

With the help of printables, you can get your Valentine something a little more personal than a box of chocolates this year. Your loved one is sure to appreciate the romantic IOUs and gift cards available at PrintableGiftCards.net. These fancy cards are decorated with attractive, colorful pictures of each service you might offer: date night out, movie night in, breakfast in bed, foot rubs, or even a simple hug and kiss. Kids can get in on the action as well, with chore IOUs for doing the dishes, walking the dog, or washing the clothes.
Another alternative to a traditional gift is a heartfelt letter outlining your love and appreciation. Fortunately, I have 13 new holiday page borders and 45 new Valentine letterhead at PrintableBorders.net and FreeLetterheadTemplates.net, respectively. Whether you use them for art, picture frames, or correspondence, each one adds a classy touch with a border and illustration of pink hearts, blue borders, chocolates, cupids, jewelry, and roses.

If you’re not into romance but you like celebrating holidays, there are plenty of printables for a Valentine’s Day party. FreePrintableRecipeCards.net has a heart recipe card for sharing your special candy secrets, while FreePrintableGiftTags.net has dozens of Valentine gift tags featuring couples, candy, and kissing that can be put on party favors or balloons.

There’s even a romance certificate at FreePrintableCertificates.net.
Romance aside, kids tend to like Valentine’s Day a lot, and teachers can cash in on that by using the 85 Valentine’s Day coloring pages from FreePrintableColoringPages.net as art projects, or by assigning a creative Valentine’s Day writing prompt from FreeWritingPrompts.net as an assignment.

All printables from the FreePrintable.net websites are free to download and print as a PDF, PNG, or DOC. In some cases, an editable version of the template can be purchased for a few dollars and edited in a word processor.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone, and keep printing!

There are 35 new printable paper templates up at PrintablePaper.net, most of them dedicated to calendar pages that divide years, weeks, and days up onto a single graph.

The new calendar graphs can be used to track information over a period as short as a few days or as long as several years. Each period of time is set on the X-axis of a graph while divisions of half hour, an hour, or a day are set along the Y-axis. This allows for great grading, sign-up, or tracking materials.

There are also several new colored pages on a blue background for those with reading or vision issues. Geometric shapes such as pentagons, hexagons, and tessellations mark the new graph paper available.

PrintablePaper.net has 1,485 forms that are all free to download and print as PDF files. Popular forms include music paper, games, knitting patterns, and good old college-rule notebook paper. There are even fun templates for 3-D work and comic book panels.

Calculating efficiency is a huge part of determining profit margins, future projects, and company direction. A good, quick way of determining efficiency in the workplace with multiple employees is by using any of the 24 new printable timesheets for project management at PrintableTimesheets.net.

The new project management timesheets are ideal for anyone who is starting a project or tracking the work hours of multiple people. Each timesheet automatically generates a colorful pie chart, progress bar, or bar graph so that you can tell exactly how much work has been done, how many hours would be ideal, and how much more work still needs to be done. Everything is designed to give you the maximum amount of information at a glance, making it perfect for presentations or efficiency meetings.

There are 159 daily, weekly, and monthly printable time sheets at PrintableTimeSheets.net. A PDF version can be printed out and written on, but the XLS has extra features for only $9. With Microsoft Excel, the XLS version will automatically calculate hours, breaks, wages, taxes and more.

Do you ever wonder how you’ve changed over the last five years? Writing down a few thoughts or plans each day can help accurately chronicle your life in the long term, which is why I have 34 new printable planners for daily planning, yearly journaling, and more.

Right in time for the New Year, I have a new five-year journal for 2015 that has a few lines for text each day until the year 2020.

They can also give you a great “look back” on your life over the course of five or ten years.
