| It's been years since I made a seed packet. The packets will print out four to a sheet, just cut. tape. fill and close.
There are only five for now but likely I'll do more in the future. If you need instructions there is a link at the top of the seed packet page. T |

| Trudi, great packs! How did you make them? I've been wanting some blank ones that I can add my own clip art/graphics to. |

| Thank you very much, I am happy to know that you like them. Making a template is not hard, but there's a lot of little steps to completion. Last night I made the 'first draft'. Today I did the tweaking. Tweaking the template took (it seemed) all morning ;-O but it was mostly resizing work that was more related to the appearance of the pdf conversion than anything else. It's saved in 300dpi because 600 takes too long to download and 150 looks like crap. Once I got the size contented I could then have some fun and play with graphics and colors to do the variations. I made these from scratch using PrintMaster v. 18 Plantinum (I think that's it) which has got more doodads than most anyone needs, but it's a very simple to use program. Older versions can be gotten for a song. I've used PrintMaster for nearly a decade and have purchased each newer version as it became available. I do all my graphics with PM; it's a very uncomplicated progam and it does what I need.
You need only to draw two rectangles--one is a bit longer than the other. They need to overlap to form a cross-shape. After that you need to draw another rectangle and size it to fit the area where the two triangles overlap--this rectangle gets filled with a graphic. On top of the central rectangle you put a smaller white rectangle; and inside this is the name of the packet ~ Veggie. On the back flap I added a text box and put in a sentiment. T |

| My webhost is working to replace a server, they should have everything cleared up before the weekend is over, sorry for the inconvenience. I just called and left a message that my site is still hinky. T |

| Okay, cross your fingers for me...it appears LaughingSquid got their server replaced in a heartbeat (hooray!) and I'm back up and running. |

| Update: I just finished a three page file of veggie seed packs. Next up will be a set for common name annuals...but it will take a while ;-O |
