I am happy to share printables. When sharing with others, please lead them to my website instead of emailing them the file(s). It takes time, effort and money to put the freebies forth and I earn when you visit. Thanks for visiting and thanks for sharing with others!

I like to order my prints at Staples. It saves on ink and is only a few short miles from my home. I pick-up at the store, but of course you can upload them online and then have them shipped to your home.

To Order Your Printables at Staples for Under $1*:

1. Download and save your image from this post.  (Please note these images are for personal use only and cannot be sold or used for commercial use.)
2. Sign in or create a Staples account on their print service page.
3. Return to Staples print service page.
4. Go to Start Project.
5. Go to Documents Printing.
6. Select the Buy Now Button under color.
7. On the left column, select your file.
8. Select upload.
9. Select done.
10. Give your job a name.
11. Make sure your project is single sided. The orientation should be landscape.
12. I changed my media to 8.5×10 and the media to 67 lb coverstock (I prefer a cardstock feel over printer paper feel.)
13. Select add to cart.
14. Proceed to checkout. My total was $0.17 for one print. You can choose to ship to your home or to pick up at your local store. Pay online and show your invoice when you pick up (I just show the order number on my phone at pick-up.) The order invoice will arrive in your email inbox.
15. Enjoy!

*Note: these Staple print service steps were added in Fall 2018. The directions may change as the website changes. They should give you a general outline of how to upload and order a print on Staples.com.
