    I agree with many other comments! Unfortunately, this document is a pain to reach and print. This is frustrating and very disappointing. I highly recommend you begin saving your products as pdf. This will make it much easier for the users.

      I’m sorry you are having a hard time Serena. Many of our readers prefer jpg files for the ease of uploading and having the files printed through a photo lab. You may find this post helpful https://thecraftingchicks.com/2014/02/tips-for-printable-success.html.

    Would you mind sharing what font the to and from are? I want to edit them using the same font with my child’s name and her classmates. This is so cute and perfect for a 3rd grader that didn’t want anything to “babyish”.

    Also, I’m suing this to send to the pool of secretaries that work in our schools. I think they are often overlooked on holidays. And I appreciate all the “extra” they do!
