Hi Bryna Bear,

Oh I’m so happy to hear that you like the holiday planner printables. I just finished sharing all the updated versions of these as part of my 31 Days 31 Printables series, if you want to check them out. Mostly I just updated the colours and fonts.

Happy baking!

  Hi Kristine,
  
  Thanks so much for your kind words. I’m not sure why they aren’t printing for you, it may be that the lines are just too light. I have updated all the Holiday Planner printables last month, I’ll get the new ones put into the galleries here later on today. Maybe the new mailing list will print better for you.
  
  Best Wishes,
  
  Alli

Hi, Alli! Sometimes the fine lines do not print well because of the printer settings. I keep my printer in “Draft” mode most of the time. When I am printing items with fine lines, I put it back to “Best” quality. Perhaps that will help. Also, I always check my ink levels before I start printing a big project. Inkjet printers tend to get lighter if too much is done in a single session. I do no more than 20 pages at a time to make sure that I am not wasting ink and paper. If I am printing a photo or other heavily detailed graphc, I opt for the “Best” printer quality.

Hope that helps some of your readers…

Dianne

I just found your site and I am so excited to use the Holiday Planner! This will be the first year in a long time that I will be hosting Thanksgiving at my house and I am already starting to feel nervous. Your planner will help me enjoy the holidays instead of stressing over the little things.
Thank you!!!
