 Now, that's an array of chores if I do say so myself.
Chores have never looked so beautiful before. ;)

    these are great! Thank you. A quick question: what paper do you use when you print? I haven't had great luck mod-podging things my printer has printed (the ink runs everywhere) Maybe it is just me, but any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Alison-- I would suggest using a laser jet printer if you plan on using mod podge. With that said, I print most of my documents at Staples are other like print shops. Also, when mod podging use small amounts of glue to cut down on the smearing aspect. I use a foam brush and refrain from messing with the bubbles. Usually the bubbles will flatten out as they dry. Hope that helps

    I have used craft sticks with handwritten chores for several years. They work well for my kids. Love your graphic creations...but, I can not get them to print. It only prints part of the first page (when I select file - print). Any suggestions?

    Caren,

    I'm not sure why it's being so difficult. Please email me and I will send the files to you directly.

    This is probably going to sound quite silly, but could you maybe outline HOW you use these? I am trying to establish a chore chart system for our household, and LOVE the look of your set-up... I am just wondering how best to implement it.

      AMoore-- I think implementing the chore sticks can be done is so many ways. First up, I would choose the chores that are age appropriate for your kidlets and then have them pull a stick on the days you do chores or when they're in need of a consequence for a naughty behavior. I've heard of some of the readers writing a consequence on the back of the chores and if the chore is not completed the child sees the consequence right there on the back of the stick. Really, these chores can be done in so many ways and you may use your creativity to implement as you see fit with your kids. More importantly, I created these to make chores more fun for our kids and to give it a game-like feel. :)

      Try the link again. I've uploaded the PDF document through my googledocs instead of Scribd. Sorry it was giving you problems.

    The site now charges to download these. At least that's what happened to me when I tried.

      Please check the new link. Apparently Scribd is now charging, but I've made my chore sticks printables available through my googledocs. Do NOT follow the link over at Whatever DeeDee Wants. Click on the link HERE.
