My New Favorite Toy

labeler


I believe in the power of suggestion. I believe if you go around smiling, soon you will be happy. I believe that if you buy yourself cute exercise clothes, you will exercise. So, when I read that one of the best tools for organizing is a labeler, I didn't even hesitate. I knew I wanted one.

Sticky Rice


I was right. I love this thing. It is useful everywhere! Right now it is at school and I am busy putting professional looking labels on my folders and binders. They are so pretty, sometimes I just sit and gaze at them. It calms me. It is my little island of order in the chaos that is middle school.

When I get everything organized (and I will, because I have a labeler, after all), I'll post pictures. You will be green with envy!

Oh to be organized! The beauty in "neat & tidy" has escaped me thus far, but I have hope that someday I too will acquire a label maker and then... perhaps...

=-)

*envy*

Oh, and I'll have to go out and buy cute exercise clothes. That must be what I'm missing! :)

I had a job once that I used a labeler to re-organize all the files.

I was the labeling queen!!!

I loved that labeler!

Joy said...

Very cool. Yes, I want to see pictures. Yes, I'm envious.

Are you a Virgo? ;)

I bought a labeler this summer with leftover summer school monies. I love it, too!

I love toys, too. One of my sons bought me a "turbo sealer" for xmas, and you can bet that I've been turbo sealing up cheeses, meats, etc...

I am so green with envy. I want order in my life I really do...but it doesn't always go the way I want it. Maybe if I had a label maker...

Joan - I'm putting all my hopes in the lable maker. It better do all it promises to do!

Rachel - It's all about the cute exercise clothes. Really.

Sweetpea - I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels such love for a labeler.

Joy - nothing to be envious of yet, but it's coming!

Natashya - no, an unorganized Taurus.

Queenie - I have no idea what to do with the sticky rice, other than label it.

Terri - it is wonderful, isn't it?

Marjie - leave it to boys to buy something with the word turbo in it!

Katherine - me too. And I'm placing lots of hope on this label maker.

Queen B - cute and practical, that's my motto.

Paula - Sure that should be about 2025.

Pearl - she would love it, really!

Susanna - you do, you really do!

I am an organization freak. Not to say I keep things organized, but I love things that I think will help me along. I remember being in the third grade, no kidding, and wanting one of those old style (now pretty gaudy) label makers...so be careful where you leave that thing. Though, I wouldn't have stolen one. I also wanted a lamination machine...but really, what was I going to laminate at that age?

Do you lend??? I have label envy.

JamieM said...

Ooooo I love labelers. Sure I can clean out and reorganize a room but then if I get LABELs on all those things....ohohhhhh it just pulls it all so much more together and professional! .... and makes is so my husband doesn't come right in an screw it up. ;)

chellebelle said...

Oh... I want one... I want one... I want one... I want someone to come into my house with one, and what they cannot label, they throw away... (sorry that last part was supposed to be a thought bubble..)
