BACK TO SCHOOL BASICS – FORMS + LETTERS + CHECKLISTS + MORE

by

It’s a miracle out here in Cali this evening.  I haven’t showered (or brushed my teeth), the laundry stayed in a pile, and dinner hasn’t even been contemplated, but I finished my first EDITABLE Power Point Packet without throwing my Mac on the floor.  Granted, I came very close a couple of times.  My poor pup witnessed her sweet mother morph into an absolute lunatic on more than one occasion, but I finally got ‘er done 🙂  Dun-Ta-Da-Dun . . . I bring you For Your InFORMation: Editable Forms and More!

KG Fonts + MelonHeadz have reached serious addiction levels.  

Ultimately, I wanted to get all of my own forms/letters/checklists/handouts in order before the school year started.  As I got going, I thought why not drop it in a packet for others looking to save some time.  It turned into a labor of love and so many friends helped me along the way.  I am a WORD girl you see {insert snicker here}.  So, I was utterly lost when it came to Power Point.  A huge thanks goes out to Stephanie, Hadar, Jen, Lori, Lyndsey, Melissa, and the many others for holding my hand and encouraging me to stick with it (told you I needed a LOT of help . . . hehehehehe).   

Here’s the skinny on this one (my crazy thought process if you will).  As I started crafting this baby, I tried to make a generic example of each item (one that you could just yank out, copy, and send).  However, if this wasn’t possible, I included a copy of my personalized form so that you could see my vision for each template.  I also provided an editable template for each and every document.  Simply open up the Power Point doc, insert text boxes in the desired locations, and type away! 

As I fumbled my way through PP, I tried to think of all the junk that I would need to get me through the year . . . I can’t tell you how many mornings I have spent frantically typing up some letter or handout because I spaced it the night before.  On that note, here’s what I came up with . . .

    You made me proud girl!! Happy to help and even happier you didn't throw the Mac across the room. You know how sometimes you see a pack and then you breathe this little sigh of relief because your life just got that much easier? That's how I feel about this one!

    These are great and are now on my extensive wishlist. I also learned from you that I can make forms and such editable with Powerpoint. Good to know.
