Hi from Kevin at FreePrintable.net, where a busy printer is a happy printer.

I'm back from my sojourn to SoCal (that's "Southern California" talk). We had a fun time with our extended families and some high school friends, and our teenager was a great sport about riding the kiddy rides with her 4-year-old sister at Camp Snoopy in Knott's Berry Farm. But I'm happy to be back in the cool Portland weather, working on more printables. This week, I have a roundup of Independence Day printables for those in the U.S., as well as new additions to www.CharacterReferenceLetters.com.



» Independence Day Printables
Fourth of July is a time for celebrating here in the United States, and there are lots of free and low-cost printables to help make it happen. There are 16 Independence Day coloring pages to choose from at FreePrintableColoringPages.net, with fireworks, patriotic kids, and flags, as well as U.S. History designs and all 50 state flags.

At FreePrintableStationery.net, there is a red, white, and blue waving flag design, accented with stars. It's free, and available in both lined and unlined versions. FreePrintableBusinessCards.net has a business card that matches the stationery, and the version with the site URL is free, while a card without the URL is just $3. (Both of these designs are actually appropriate year-round, for any home or business that wants to express its patriotism.)

For Fourth of July picnics, potlucks, and so on, there's a firecracker design recipe card at FreePrintableRecipeCards.net. It's free as a PDF, or $7 for a DOC version you can type directly onto in Microsoft Word. All of the recipe cards on the site are available either lined or unlined, in 3-by-5 or 4-by-6 dimensions.

If you'd like to recognize a community leader, soldier, volunteer, or anyone who has expressed devotion to the nation in one way or another, the flag-themed Certificate of Achievement at FreePrintableCertificates.net would be perfect. Happy Fourth!



» Character Reference Letters

Since the launch of CharacterReferenceLetters.com just a few months ago, I've gotten great feedback from people who appreciate the sample letters that serve as templates to jump-start the writing of what can be a difficult message to write. Largely in response to your feedback, I've added 17 new letters as well as six articles with tips on how to write character reference letters for various situations such as to a potential landlord or in court.

While you may be eager to vouch for a friend or colleague, it's not always easy to find the right words - especially if the reason a letter is needed is due to a legal situation. Some of the new reference letters address this, while others are designed for employees (particularly domestic help such as a nanny), students, and teachers. There is even a new letter template for a church pastor to give a reference.

All of the character reference letters are free, and to use them just copy and paste from the website, or click to download a DOC file you can customize with your own wording in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or another compatible program.

 
I have more new sites and printables on the way! Please write and let me know what you'd like to see next. Happy printing!

There are FreePrintable.net users all over the world, and I was so pleased to hear from Tracy, who recently began using FreePrintableCertificates.net. She wrote: "I came across your website by chance as I was looking for some free printable sports certificates to recognise achievements of my learners at school. I teach at a primary school in greater Johannesburg, South Africa. I was really impressed by the choice of what you have to offer and have recommended your site to a number of my teaching colleagues. Money is tight, especially as a teacher, so anything that can be used as a resource and that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is always welcome."
