It’s that last half that might be most important, because I’m making an effort to pretty up these paper fortune tellers. This one is what I like to call a “Cootie Card.” One thing better than a greeting card. It’s fun and unexpected and interactive!

So c’mon, you know someone has a birthday coming up. Just download this confetti birthday paper fortune teller, print it out, fold it up, and win some big friend points.

Also, the awesome confetti photos came from a Paper Pastries post  by Pugly Pixel. Thanks for the awesome blogs and goodies, ladies!

It’s THE classic paper fortune teller. MASH stands for “Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House.”

These specialized little cootie catchers look into the future and tell you what kind of digs you’ll live in when you grow up. (Or, hey, if you’re an adult, I’d say it’s a 10-year prediction.)

Of course, no one wants the shack. But it’s in there for comic relief. So your friends can imagine you roughing it while they count the rooms in their future mansions. If your friends really love you, maybe they’ll build you a shack out by the pool.

Luckily, you don’t even have to make your own to try it out. Just download this PDF, print, fold and have some fun.

I’m super excited that the new season is finally here, and I think half the fun of watching is thinking about which Mad Men character you’d be. You know, if you could time travel back to this fictional TV office universe.

As much as I’d like to imagine that I’d be a sex pot like Joan or Megan, I think Peggy is probably more my speed. We’re both copywriters and a little overly obsessed with our careers. And, well, fashion and make-up really aren’t my things.

So how about you? Which character do you wish you could be for a week? And which one are you most like in real life?

This cootie catcher can answer the latter. Just download this PDF, print, fold and find out. Please share which character you got in the comments–and why you are or aren’t like him or her!

It’s those times when you’re in such a serious funk that you start to think everyone hates you. And that your work projects all suck. And that people are giving you angry sneers like this guy on the left.

It’s enough to make you want to stomp your feet and throw a tantrum. Then call your mom and tell her about how unfair life is.

Except, you know, my mom’s a pretty awesome lady. So I made this cootie catcher to help us stop those crazy self-pity thoughts.

That’s right. A day of pranks, jokes and looking over your shoulder. We think all pranks should involve the classic rubber chicken. Then they’d be easy to spot. But, oh no. Your friends are much too clever and cunning for such an obvious ruse.

They’re going to fake pregnancies and phone calls from police detectives. Or create some maddening disturbance in your cube that makes everyone hate you for a day. All while keeping a straight face.

Luckily, we’ve created this paper fortune teller to help you separate the truth from a prank.

Just download this PDF, print, fold and avoid embarassment.

Were you hoping for prank ideas? Just print out the Will You Get Fired? or Are You With Child? cootie catchers and place them strategically in your victim’s path.

A few signs have popped up on my street just in the past couple of weeks. My nosy, prying self even went to a neighbor’s open house just to see what it looked like. But like anyone selling a house, I’m sure he was thinking, “Will this sell?” (OK, and maybe, “Why must all the rubber-necking neighbors come through?”)

So for everyone hoping to turn that For Sale sign into a Sold one, I’ve created this cootie catcher. It’s mystical powers may help predict the likelihood of you finding a buyer.

No matter how you celebrate you may need some help getting in a shamrock-rainbow-leprechaun kind of  mood. So I made this cootie catcher for all the Irish (and Irish for a day) adults out there who want to celebrate on Saturday. Fold one up for a party, happy hour or to have a little fun at work on Friday.

Plus, we hear this paper fortune teller is luckier than a four-leaf clover. What’s to lose?

Maybe you’re worried about something small. Like having garlic breath after going to that awesome Italian place for lunch. Or it could be something huge. Am I going to get fired? Or do I have some horrible illness? Does everyone hate me?

The worries never end. Luckily, there’s the “What’s wrong with you?” cootie catcher to put things in perspective. Or play a practical joke on a friend or co-worker.

I finally stepped on the scale for the first time since, oh, early December. And let’s just say that after all that holiday celebrating with cocktails, cookies and other tasty treats, the news wasn’t exactly good.

It’s like someone throwing a glass of cold water into your face. With a piece of broccoli at the bottom. When, you know, you thought another sugar cookie and glass of hot cocoa might be nice.

And that all brings us to today’s cootie catcher, which is really a fun little exercise in denial. The stage right before buying cute gym clothes. Eating salads. And maybe actually going to the gym.

If you’re already onto the weight-loss resolution part, go ahead and skip to the “Dirt Cheap Personal Trainer” cootie catcher.

So: Is your scale wrong? Could it be?

This is a timely post for the holiday season. When even us adult daughters are more likely to spend a lot of time in close proximity with our moms.

And, you know, moms can’t stop themselves from offering their kids some sort of advice. About your hair. Or clothes. Or kids. (Or in my case, lack thereof.) The possibilities are endless.

Sadly, this unsolicited advice sometimes makes me revert to my surly teenage self. I guess that’s a round about way of saying maybe, just maybe, I should listen to my mom more often.

This cootie catcher can help you separate the good advice from the bad. Or just win an argument.
