For the first time in over a year, FreePrintableCertificates.net has added new printable certificates, and the results are impressive. The 75 new templates increase the site's total to 1,175 certificates and have prompted the addition of three new categories: monogram, holiday and music.

The new holiday certificates category currently includes certificates for celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa and New Year's Eve. The templates have shiny, colorful borders and are decorated with festive pictures of holiday fun.

"I've had a Christmas category for a while now, and it's been a big hit," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "So I think our holiday category will be a great addition that just continues to grow."

There are also 26 new monogram certificates, one for every letter in the alphabet. The letters are elegantly stylized and set against formal borders made up of different, classic colors. These can be used for any official event or occasion.

The final category is made up of 22 music certificates. These are devoted to achievements in classical instruments such as the viola, tuba and piano, as well as newer musical instruments such as the electric guitar and keyboard. They are all appropriate for bands, orchestras, music classes and glee clubs.

FreePrintableCertificates.net boasts more than 36 categories of certificates that range from education to achievement to appreciation to sports. There are even special event templates for marriage, birth, adoption, anniversary and death. All of them are available for free as PDFs, and a customizable DOC version (users type directly into it in Microsoft Word before printing) can be purchased for only $5.

There are more than 80 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
