Happy Friday!
It’s another “Freezie Friday” here in Central Ontario. I had some errands to do this morning, and so was out walking around in -20C windchills for most of the morning. By the time I got home I was so tired and cold, that I just crawled under a blanket and napped for a couple of hours. Now I’m loading myself up on caffeine so that I can get some work done tonight.
I have a new flash sale for you today, and I’m especially pleased with this one… Feast your eyes on The Mega Bundle of 150 Digital Papers. These were originally done for a bonus, so only a handful of people have ever seen them until today. And getting them all packaged up for you reminded me of how much I love making digital papers, and how much I miss it because I haven’t done any in quite a while. So here’s a sneak peek at the papers in this huge collection…
They’re on sale as a bundle through next Thursday, March 2. After that I’m breaking them down into individual packs for sale. Use coupon code SAVE20 to save $20 until then.

- A ready-for-use Household Budget Planner Spreadsheet in Google Sheets so you can edit it as you wish, use it or sell it as is.
- A Sample Spreadsheet with data so that you can easily see how the spreadsheet might be used.
- The 16-page instruction booklet for Google Sheets so you know exactly what to do to edit the template. Make as many different versions as you like for your customers.
- PLR Commercial Rights (see terms below) – this is almost unheard of in the spreadsheet market!
