While many teaching resource sellers use Microsoft Office to create their items, I use Kingsoft Office. Why? It's FREE, and it does the same thing as Microsoft Office! And I just recently learned that we can password protect our products on Kingsoft from the PC, without additional help (I will have to share a tutorial on how to do this real soon). From what I understand, Microsoft Office only allows Mac users to do this with their software. By not password protecting our products, we are not providing additional safety to our products and to the images contained within them. Bummer, huh? These are the reasons why I use Kingsoft on my PC.
As far as clip-art goes, I mainly use Melonheadz Illustrations. I am a HUGE FAN of Nikki Casassa!!!! She is, in my opinion, one of the most talented people that I have ever met! Most of you already know that I am absolutely addicted to her doodles. Just about every post and product that I make has something to do with her, or her little creations! What a great inspiration, she is!
Clip-art and fonts go hand in hand with me. Kimberly Geswein and Nikki Casassa teamed up together to make one fabulous font--- KG Melonheadz font! I have been hooked to Kimberly Geswein fonts ever since! Sometimes you will also find me use fonts from Learning with Mrs. Leeby, Khrys Bosland of Keepin' it Kool in Kindergarten, and from Kevin and Amanda. These are just a few of my all time favorites, and I highly recommend them to anyone!

Thanks Julie, for stopping by! I am very proud that I am able to get the word out about Kingsoft Office. And I am especially happy that I was able to find an easy way to password protect these documents. I love Nikki's doodles so much that I would hate someone to take advantage of the opportunity to steal her images, all because I didn't take further action to help keep them safe. I would love to see you come back, and read my tutorial. I hope it will help you! :) Thanks again!
