St. Patrick’s Day Printables

“Dia dhuit” from the FreePrintable.net sites! That’s “Hello!” in Irish Gaelic, and it is most appropriate, as St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. I have a lot of St. Paddy’s-themed printables at my various FreePrintable.net websites. Get everything from fax covers to coloring pages and start celebrating!

If you’re in a coloring mood, I hope you have a large supply of the color green. There are 28 free St. Patrick’s Day coloring pages available at FreePrintableColoringPages.net, all depicting shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, frogs and even some green beer (for adults!) Each picture can be downloaded and printed for free as a PNG file.

For fun in the office, send a fax with a St. Patrick’s Day fax cover depicting St. Patrick sending a snake through a fax machine from FreeFaxCoverSheets.net. Or, for a more personal touch, send someone a St. Patrick’s Day greeting card with a picture of a football player from FreePrintableGreetingCards.org. If you’re thinking of giving a gift this holiday, consider a Saint Patrick gift tag featuring a smiling leprechaun set against a clover background at FreePrintableGiftTags.net. Each of these printables is available for free as a PDF or DOC. A customizable version of the greeting card can be purchased for $4 and edited in a word processing program.

There are new St. Patrick’s Day writing prompts at FreeWritingPrompts.net this year. Designed for middle school and elementary school students, they blend creative writing with narrative prompts and how-to instructions that will spark the imagination in writers of any age. The prompts are available to download, edit and print as free DOC files.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, Sláinte, and Happy Printing!

New Easter Printables

The Easter Bunny has more wisdom to bestow and a lot of fun new activities for families and kids in the batch of 20 new Easter printables available at FreeEasterPrintables.com.

Most of the new Easter Bunny letters in this round are informative. Some talk about the benefits of toys or healthy snacks as an alternative to chocolate and candy. Others mention a meeting with the child at school, the mall, or in previous letters. They’re all decorated with different, colorful pictures of bunnies and dyed eggs, and each one is “signed” for authenticity purposes. They join the collection of letters already available at the site that address concerns, teach children about religion, or celebrate a first Easter celebration.

I’ve also added a new category devoted entirely to Easter games. These are all illustrated in full color with cute pictures of chicks, rabbits, chocolates, eggs and flowers, and are fun activities for matching, memory, pairing, word jumbles and bingo. A fun new addition to FreeEasterPrintables.com is “Easter money.” These are fake dollar bills decorated with a bunny or a chick that serve as great rewards for Easter egg hunts.

Altogether, there are 80 printable at FreeEasterPrintables.com. In addition to letters and games there are crafts for egg decorating as well as holiday coloring pages. Each letter, craft or game can be downloaded and printed for free as a PDF or customized as a DOC file for only $5.

New Printable Stationery

I’ve added 15 new printable stationery templates to FreePrintableStationery.net. This round will especially appeal to young, urban professionals and artists, but there are a few animal pages in there for you nature lovers, too).

The new stationery additions feature a number of people engaging in their careers. This includes a dancer onstage, a model in lingerie, a beautician in makeup, an acupuncturist with a client and an accountant in a suit.

Additionally, people living in Miami, Dallas, or Houston can enjoy stationery with their city’s skyline, and animal enthusiasts will enjoy the horse, grasshopper, and fly stationery I’ve added.

There are more than 250 stationery DOC-format templates at FreePrintablestationery.net, and an additional 125-plus letterhead templates at its sister site, FreeLetterheadTemplates.net. All 375-plus templates are free to print individually, or, for convenience, they’re also available as an instant download collection for $37.

Cover Letters and Letters of Recommendation

We’re well into 2013 now, and I imagine that many people made resolutions this year to move forward in their careers. However, to land a great job, you need a good “hook” to catch an employer’s eye, as well as strong references. That’s why I’ve created a whole batch of new sample letters of recommendation and cover letters.
The 14 new letters of recommendation cover more than just jobs. There are certainly recommendations for apprenticeships, massage training, tenure and personal training. However, there are also recommendation samples for emancipation and marriage, entry into country clubs and co-ops, and applications for visas. The sample text can easily be replaced with specific and relevant information.

I also put up 20 new cover letters that can help users apply for jobs in different fields. There’s an example for actors, assistants, journalists, engineers, scientists and temps. Each one lays out a format that highlights skills and experience in a way that will stand out to potential employers.

All of the letters are free to download, edit and print in DOC format, or simply cut and paste the text directly from the site. You may also want to take a look at InstantResumeTemplates.com, my site with 125 resume templates to download and print for free.

Business Forms and Templates

I’ve introduced a new category of printable forms at BusinessFormTemplate.com that is designed for pilots and flight record maintenance. There are six pilot printables in the new category that cover a log book, flight review log, certificate rating, pilot endorsement, and medical history.

There are also a number of new forms for employee evaluations, landlords and tenants, auctioneers and bloggers. The printables include a payroll cost report, a supplier checklist, a lease agreement, an amateur radio log, buy and sell lists for auctions, and a blog planner.

All of the business templates are free to download and print as a PDF, and an editable version is available as a DOC file. An easier way to get all 800 forms at once is to purchase the collection, which is available for $20.

New Teachers Printables

With the winter term well underway, I’ve added nearly 30 new classroom printables to TeachersPrintables.net.

There are a lot of new worksheets that are great for math, music and geography. There are several number, counting and value charts that are partially filled in, as well as multiplication and addition exercises. I even introduced some printable rulers so that kids don’t have to find hunt one down, and a “Flat Stanley” that can be sent all around the world.

Additional miscellaneous forms include a music practice chart, a circular seating chart, a daily weather chart, a birthday calendar and different learning and supply checklists.
Overall, there are more than 350 teachers printables for substitutes, test forms, flash cards and sign language. Single-classroom licenses can be purchased for $27, while whole-school licenses cost $67. I like to make printables available on a budget, especially for teachers, and the entire collection is the best deal, because you get an additional 400 paper printables in addition to the teacher forms, all at once.

Printable Thank You Letters

As anyone who’s been a child after a birthday party knows, it’s hard to write thank you letters. Mostly it can be difficult to know where to start. I’ve added 15 new thank you letter examples for contests, reviews, parties and coworkers to my site, ThankYouLetter.ws. And this time, I’ve included a few letters to jog kids’ minds as well.

Some of the letters can be used almost as-is. Simply replace the filler text with your own information and you can use these templates to thank someone for reviewing your establishment (and you can thank them for a good review or a bad review!) Similarly, the thank you note for entering a contest can be used for many situations with just a few amendments.

Some of the new thank you letters, though, cover personal and heartfelt subjects. Think of these more as a sample, or a place to begin, if you are looking for a way to thank adoptive parents, a birth mother, or an organ donor.

There are more than 140 thank you letters available at ThankYouLetter.ws. Some popular categories include thank you notes for birthdays, weddings, gifts, job interviews and baby showers. All of them are free to download and print as a customizable DOC file.

New Printable Signs

If you’ve ever worked or volunteered at a flea market, thrift shop, fundraiser or garage sale, you know that labeling items clearly is important. To that end, I’ve added 28 new printable signs to PrintableSigns.net for just such purposes.

The new signs for categorizing goods are black and white in order to keep printing costs low. Some have prices filled in, while others are left blank, and they can label everything from music to movies to clothes to furniture. There’s even a sign for Beanie Babies.

I also put up more colorful signs that are great for school events, organizations and extracurricular activities. Some of these include registration, bake sale, job fair and show-and-tell signs.

The new additions join the 3,500 signs already available at PrintableSigns.net, which include danger, caution, safety, traffic and pool signs. The files are free to download and print as PDFs. An editable DOC file is also available for $1.99 and can be customized in Microsoft Word.

Convert Decimals to Fractions

As adults, many of us forget the math we learned in school. I, for one, barely remembered it as I was learning it. (I mention my math struggles in my tech memoir, Terrible Nerd). While it’s easy now to solve most math problems on a calculator or in my head, one thing I’m never able to do quickly is figure out how to get a fraction from a decimal number. That’s why my new site, AsAFraction.com, is so great. It converts any decimal into a fraction with the click of a button.

While it might be obvious to some people that .7 is the same as 7/10, I would wager that it gets more difficult for everyone when you have to convert three decimal places in your head. That’s why AsAFraction.com has a list of numbers up to three decimal places long that have already been converted and simplified into fractions.

If you have your own number between four and ten decimal places, you can just use the custom fraction converter. This tool will not only convert the decimal to a fraction, but will simplify it down to the lowest possible denominator.
Use it as a reference, to solve a quick problem, or to check your work. Either way, AsAFraction.com is quick, easy, and—best of all—free!

Free Printable Baby Planner

When you’re preparing for a new baby, you want to make sure that you’re ready for everything. While that’s never fully possible, (get ready for some fun surprises!) there are ways to keep important information on-hand and organized with my new Web site, PrintableBabyPlanner.com, with its 23-page baby planner.

PrintableBabyPlanner.com is a great way to track a baby’s needs and milestones. There’s a feeding schedule, breastfeeding tracker, menu, sleeping schedule and diaper chart for daily planning and tracking. The design features gender-neutral green designs.

There are also forms that help you prepare your home for the baby’s arrival. That includes a childproofing checklist for the house, a grocery list, a baby supply list, and an immunization record.

Overall, there are nearly two dozen templates at this new site, included a cover for your baby book, and all are available to download and print for free as a PDF file. If you’d like to customize the forms in a word processor such as Microsoft Word, you can opt for the $5 DOC version, which can be edited on a home computer. I recommend getting the entire baby planner collection for $14, which saves you some money and gives you every form instantly. You can then print the collection and keep it in a standard notebook or three-ring binder.
