There are lots of new illustrated certificates for music and language lovers, along with other topics, among the 100 new additions to FreePrintableCertificates.net.

The new music certificates include awards for excellence in specific instruments as well as for conducting, vocals, composition, and music history. There are also several new art certificates.

I've added about a dozen language certificates, in most cases illustrated with a nation's flag, that can be presented to anyone showing mastery or progress in Greek, German, Spanish, French, and several other native tongues.

By request, I've added some cute adoption certificates for children's dolls and stuffed animals including bears, bunnies, and monkeys. You'll also find new monogram certificates for every letter of the alphabet, a perfect way to offer a personalized award or recognize someone by name.

There are also new additions to the popular religious certificates category, including Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah certificates as well as Catholic Confirmation and First Communion certificates.

Other designs rounding out the new additions include certificates recognizing achievement in: art, carpentry, ceramics, directing, electrical engineering, and even friendship. Additionally, there are several new certificates of sobriety relating to drug or alcohol addiction recovery.

There are now more than 1,360 certificates to choose from at FreePrintableCertificates.net. Each design is free to download and print as a PDF (just write names and dates in using a pen), or $5 for a DOC version (type the information onto the certificate using Microsoft Word before printing).

I recently added to PrintableCashReceipts.com, bringing the total of blank receipt templates at the site to 113.

While there are dozens of basic receipts to choose from at the site, the new receipt designs include: parking, donations , advance payments, and more. Some of the new receipts are industry-specific, such as an auto repair receipt, a day care business receipt, and receipts for photography, thrift stores, and general services.

This latest round of additions also includes a couple of handy tools for shoppers and businesses: a receipt log and a tracker.

Freelancers and those who sell crafts and other items on Etsy or eBay will also find receipts to suit their needs at PrintableCashReceipts.com. There are rent receipts for landlords and property managers, sales and deposit slips, petty cash receipts, and other popular printables.

The receipts are free in PDF format, or opt for the $7 DOC version that can be edited in Microsoft Word or another DOC-compatible program. The premium option is great for small business owners who want to customize text or fields, add a logo, and so on.

Thanks so much for your letters and your ideas for new printables. I really appreciate hearing from you. Happy printing!
