T.G.I.Free~ Printables!

This week I went foraging for freebies for you to print! I know you love them, not just because they're free, but because they are a fantastic way to create your own cards, tags, banners, bunting and more. You can also find some terrific activities and resources for the little ones, which is what this first one is all about:

Activity Village has been "providing parents and teachers with free kids' activities since 2000, and you can sign up for a free newsletter to stay posted with their latest. Father's Day is coming up and they have some adorable free cards you can print up!


Jenny B. Harris posts free printables on her blog: Allsorts~ she recently posted some Alpha-Dots as part of her series, Freebie Friday and I love them!



The Tip Junkie has tons of free printables, as well as "15,000+ tutorials" for crafts and DIY decor, parties, holidays, food and more! I love this free printable for the laundry room~ it suits me to a tee!



Another blogger offers a Freebie of the Month Club! You can get them from The Handmade Home each month~ here's the latest one for May and yes it was a printable!


I'm a huge fan of HGTV and I love their website full of ideas and FREEBIES! Right now you can get their Favorite Printable Party Invitations for Year Round Celebrations~




Cute as a bug~ Chickabug has the cutest signs for the Last Day of School 2012~ and lots of other free printables you won't be able to resist!



And since right after the Last Day of School, summer fun begins~ here's a terrific source for a summer themed celebration printable from Amanda's Parties TO GO! She has lots of other freebies too...




So just make sure you've got plenty of ink in your printer and you'll be FREE to go printing!
