Thanks, Martha!

To borrow a phrase from Dr. Seuss:

"This is very big news,

It's important to know,

And that's why I'm bothering telling you so!"

Not really, but I am quite excited about learning this new trick (for me).

Over a year ago, I was watching a 'Martha' episode and she was touting the benefits of being able to make labels with this ptouch machine. Several months later I was in Staples and saw one and thought it would be a great thing to have to re-label all the electrical things at the cabin. We have so many outlets, switches and such and since we don't live there full time, it's frustrating to know which does what. Currently they have little labels on them, but with all the changes, a lot are different now and it would be nice to get the right one the first time.

It has stayed in the original packaging for almost a year. I've just never gotten around to using it. Bad, I know! But as I've been working on some cleaning out and re-organizing, I found several dvd's that we have that for some reason have lost their jackets. How does that happen? I've found some pictures that I printed off and some cardstock that I had in my scrapbook supplies and made a few yesterday. Here are the covers...

...and here are the labels that I made with the ptouch! I just love this thing. AND I figured out most of it myself. Christine did the first part and got it up and running w/0 the directions. Yeah, youth is great. Thank you Chris. She had to point out that she didn't need the directions. And thank you Martha for the endorsement.
