Decided I would try my hand at these so I can get my Host packets going for October. Tell me what you think. I am not sure if I put too many SA pieces on it or not! I wanted to reflect the difference "areas" we had and not just show the Dots...although they are my favorite!

Jane they look very nice, and professional. I like the different SA pieces you put in the newsletter.
 
These are awesome... I just send something place with my host packet but these are so much better... the info really jumps off the page and it's specific for the month's special. GREAT WORK!!! Hope you don't mind me borrowing it. :)

Thanks for catching that! I'll attach the changed version! That's what I get for doing them at 2:00 a.m.! I changed the name too because we learned on the Pampered Sets that attaching one with the same name didn't incorporate the changes!

Okay, I really don't want to be a PITA, but could someone put these in a pdf for me (taking out personal info, obviously)? Both of my computers are totally getting all screwy when I open these docs. One changes the fonts and the other changes the entire layout!
 
Awesome job!! Thank you for sharing!!

What Word version do you have, Kristin? That may be the problem. The consultant info is in a text box as is the letter. You could probably just copy and paste this into your own version of Word without a text box. I don't really know because I know 2003 well but not the others. My DD & SIL have the 2008 version and it is awful to use!

Bumping for all those who asked for this!
 
I have no idea what version my desktop computer has (the one that changes the font), but I know the issue is that you use a font for the heading that I don't have, so it changes it to one it *thinks* is similar. It wouldn't be such an issue, but I LOVE that font, and want to use it! Are you computer-savvy enough to email the font to me?My laptop doesn't have Microsoft office on it, only OpenOffice, which sometimes acts a little funny when it tries to interpret Word documents.

That is what is happening then. I don't know enough to download a font to someone else. Maybe you can go to the Microsoft website and get it. Otherwise, I guess you will just have to use a different font.

Talked to my DD and SIL. Fonts are "copyrighted" to Microsoft so it would be illegal for someone to send it to you! Sorry...

Bumping for those who wanted these letters!
