Automated Legal forms on a Budget at LawDepot.com
There's no doubt about it, lawyers are expensive and while often you need their personal care and attention for specific circumstances, there's other times where a generical legal agreement will do. For those cases, have a look at LawDepot.com and their automated legal forms including a section specifically for Canadian legal forms. You can find employment contracts, bill of sales, roommate agreements, eviction notices, and much more. Prices vary depending on the complexity of the agreement starting at about $10. For a bit more money you can fill out the forms and have their lawyers look check it over to make sure they've been filled out correctly. They also have an option to use all their legal forms for $99 for 3 months. If you've used them before we'd love to see a quick review in the comments. -
Canon.ca
Canon Creative Park: Free Printable Paper Craft Projects
Canon, the maker of familiar products such as the Canon Pixma printer line, actually has a site called the Creative Park that is devoted entirely to paper craft. There, you'll find a wealth of free instructions and printable templates for everything from cards (from directly printable to self-made pop-up varieties), paper crafts, scrapbook designs, paper art, to calendars. There is a lot of very interesting stuff around the site, so have a look around... did we mention that it was free? There are some Halloween projects to be found as well.
Some of the projects definitely look more complex than others (and some are probably more ink intensive!), but trying some of them out should be fun! -
