Now, I'm adding a label maker to my Amazon wish list! It's already quadrupled since I joined this site, and that's my personal wish list, not even the "school books" list! You ladies are bad influences on me!!

It's amazing how many purchases I've made because of 4Real.  Amazon must love this forum. I have to say that they were all good recommendations!

I love how there is so much information to peruse. Amazon is my greatest gift because I just put things in my basket to remember and sift through later...and the items can stay for years.
So my prudence is to not click and buy right away, but click, put in my basket, think about it, try to preview it somewhere, then buy at some time, or not.

Yes, I think the Amazon wish list is one of the greatest online shopping inventions ever created! I've deleted so many things from it, but it's allowed me to go back and review things that might work for me, and fit into my budget.
I absolutely love the quality of the items that are recommended here. Everything is something that draws me closer to God and the path He has called me to walk, or it's so practical that I can't help but to consider bringing it into our home!

I'm in! I've joined the Club   I bought a label maker just in time for the holidays. A brother P1010 on a half price special, it was meant to be. Ds11 and dd8 have been playing with it and labeling items, hopefully I'll get a chance to have a play tomorrow.

I'm doing the happy dance for you! And thinking of those new library shelves you've got...with little labels of genre's of books everywhere...and labels on the computer room...and labels in your kitchen! Happy labeling!

Okay, now I really must get one of those. I am totally jealous of all the organization that is happening in all these homes with label makers!
After cleaning and re-organizing my fridge, and after my DH still can't remember to put the milk back in the right place  I'm wondering if this sort of label would work in a fridge?
Actually, anyone opening my fridge might think it's funny to see labels like "milk" and "ketchup", but I'm forever losing things in there and if everything had it's own spot, it might help a bit. I'm thinking labels might help me, and everyone else in the family remember where certain things go.
So, what do you think?

I don't think it a funny idea at all, to me that is the whole purpose of the label.
Jenn
It was the library shelves that prompted me to finally buy one. dh was saying we needed labels on the shelves so it was time. He's totally happy at the moment that I sorted his fiction alphabetically by author.

The label maker is still running hot here Dd's 6 & 8 have even labelled their places at the table
I've long being annoyed by all the spiral comb binding books, not knowing at a glance what they are. I've been spending time attaching the title to the spines, now I know what I have easily.

Suzanne's news about the great sale at Office Depot has whetted my appetite! I have a (stupid?) practical question: are the labels easily removable, while at the same time firmly stuck on? if I decide to un-label or re-label something will there be a sticky residue left? Also, when I think label makers, I think of those crazy things that printed out raised white letters on hard plastic strips (I don't know the name of them). I do know that I really don't like the *look*. So, what does this marvelous Brother machine print on to, and what do the labels look like? Right now I am in need of a good and good-looking bunch of labels as I develop a system of folders.
Peace,
Nancy

Nancy~
On page 3 of this thread Jen shows a picture of a label---how it prints, etc. You can also put decorative borders on them if you want. They look NOTHING like the raised-letter-label-makers from years ago.
And, the sticky residue....I can't speak for LONG periods of time, as I've only had mine for under a year....but I just replaced a couple on Tupperware containers, and there wasn't any residue...whereas my masking tape always left sticky stuff.
Any other veteran-labelers with "sticky-residue-feedback?"
Off to take my 5-month-old-pregnant-body-that-feels-like-8-months-pregnant to the beach in 90 degree weather   ...I'd rather be talking label-makers

Thanks, Suzanne. Looking at Jen's pictures and comments, I see that I have nothing to fear (except maybe *fear itself*, pardon me FDR). Maybe tomorrow there will be time for a little field trip to Office Depot!
Peace,
Nancy

I admit my sanity may be slipping, at least I my dc think I am a little weird 
It's holidays here and I am spending a happy morning re-organising my bookshelves and placing labels at each shelf collection.
Our history bookcase now sports labels that state; American History, Biographies, Bethlehem Books, Middle Ages, Greece, Rome, Egypt etc

Angie, would you recommend this book? My husband asked me to get him a labeler for work and I remembered this thread. We already have a labeler at home, collecting dust  . The price of the book is great and if I add it to his labeler order it will ship free so I thought I'd ask. |

I just had to tell you all the BEST way that I have used my label maker:
We took a serving tray and made very pretty labels with each child's name on it. Every morning the children get a new clean cup and use it for breakfast. When they are done they rinse the cup and place it in front of their label on the tray!!!! They use the cups all day and it goes back to that spot!
Yeah!!! No more cleaning 16 cups a day!!!! At the end of the day after dinner, the cups are washed and the whole process starts again the next day.
This whole idea was born out of my dd age 8 wanting to use the label maker!!!! BTW the best part: I got one of the label makers with laminated rolls and I have been washing that tray everyday and the LABEL HAS NEVER COME OFF!!!!!!! 
Thought you'd all enjoy!

Love it, Mimi! That is great! I find the labels really endure dishwasher wear. I put them on our water bottles.
