Our class planners, includes several Microsoft Word Documents such as the step-by-step customer instructions, customer summary document and a marketing flyer. You can use the instructions to send home with customers so they have the confidence and inspiration to continue stamping on their own. We offer the documents in this format in case you want to change the supplies used or supply only part of the instructions. But, most word processing software programs don’t come cheaply. I use Microsoft Word 2007 but it comes at a hefty price tag if it wasn’t preinstalled on your computer. I wanted to give our customers another option so if you’re looking for a top-notch word processing software that is absolutely FREE, take a look at Google Docs.

When you buy a computer, it comes with a certain amount of memory already loaded on. This storage is where you can save files, applications, music, videos, pictures and anything else you’d like. It would be great to have unlimited memory but that is not always the case.
