Theresa -- I think they are referring to Faith and Family magazine who printed some beautiful pictures to use for meditation for each of the mysteries of the rosary.
And thanks for posting this!

A couple a years ago Faith and Family did a series of issues which included full page art depictions of each of the mysteries of the rosary - one mystery in each issue. They are really pretty.

I'll be taking in some leaf shape cards for botany and a whole slew of music cards and games. I'll have more next week I certain, I'm just trying it out this week!
And somebody asked about cutting the laminate with normal scissors - I always used plain scissors when I was teaching and laminating tons of stuff, just don't "cut" with them. Get the slice started and then just swoop along leaving a nice edge behind. So much quicker!

Part of my printer cable mysteriously disappeared for a few days. Thankfully I found it this morning behind our pellet stove of all places. I have been printing up a really nice set of Africa cards that someone shared on MMshare and a bunch of Seller's stuff. Anything else that will fit thru the laminating machine

Today I was at my local Office Max. They don't mind doing it for homeschoolers, but they've got a PILE of stuff they haven't done because they ran out of the laminating film. They still have stuff from LAST Thursday, and more are coming in today. So they took my name and had me leave my stuff, they'll call me when it's ready. I wonder how much free laminating they have to do nationwide?

Have any of you had to prove that you are a homeschooler? If so, what have you given them?

I went today, and they said they just established the policy of "50 linear feet" and then they'll charge. I then proceeded to spend $85 on school things for which you don't get a discount, altho points are put on your "Teacher Perks" card. I had to go by Office Depot to mail something UPS and checked prices there ... bought almost the EXACT same things (including a Flash Drive for half what I paid at OM  ) and rec'd 5% off all my purchases AND earned points (using my teacher card). Believe me, I went back to OM and gave them an earful as I SAVED a net $20 at OD!

I know I'm supposed to know this, so I gave myself a day to think about it but I haven't figured it out yet  . What is LTP and what happens on the 13th (besides the first day of Ramadan and Rosh Hashana)?

Whenever I've gone in to get an educator's card, I usually have mine with me -- that seems to be proof enough

I wondered too, and then saw this thread a couple minutes ago.

OK I had another public come apart! I took my stash into OM, followed all the policies only to be met with a maybe 20 yr old, ring in the nose, tatooed up to the ears, MENTAL MIDGET!!! HE told me the new policy, the one MAry mentioned, FINE, but how much of my stash will be 50feet? Don't know!!!! OK, so how do we figure it out? Don't know!!! I will just laminiate it all you can pay the difference....I don't think so! Is there a manager here, that perhaps can help me...NO!. Alrighty then....come back next Monday I will have it done and you can talk to a manger! Now you have to understand it is VERY hot here, I have 5 hungry kids in tow, we are leaving in the Am for a week, I am in no mood for this......As I was making my point clear that I would not leave until he got a manager I noticed 2 women from our church gawking at me  My dh thinks it all very funny and that perhaps I should not go out in public if I am hot or in pain!!!
Is anyone else having trouble getting their stash laminated?

Sorry. Suzanne linked to a good thread to explain that LTP is Liturgical Training Publications - they are the ones who publish the wall size and notebook size liturgical wheel calendars. The 13th is the last day that Office Max is offerring the free laminating. I would like to place an order to LTP if the items will get here in time to take advantage of the free laminating.

My local OM has this new 50' policy aswell. However, the lady remembered us fromlast week and asked if DH had a Perks card(Why, yes he does!) She said it's 50' feet per person and said she would put 2 orders through. I felt like it was kind of dishonest so I asked that the manager approve it. The lady told me her manager was the one that told her she could do that. She called her over and she said it was fine. She also said that she would only do 50' per order unless we wanted her to go over 50' and we pay the extra. I told her no, there is always next week, and I am about done printing everything off.
I have heard a few homeschoolers are now being turned away from some OMs if they don't have a Teacher's ID. I haven't had to show anything...I did bring a letter from our school district last week and was told it wasn't necessary. I'm wondering if it will be soon though.

Oh, my. I was so excited about this offer. I am donating quite a bit of printed material to a charity in Columbia, South America that is opening a Montessori school. I wanted to get it all laminated for free! Now they tell me 50 ft. which frankly isn't much.
At least they can do it in one day. They didn't ask me for ID, which makes me want to try out other OMs near me. Would that be terrible?

Maureen Wittman over at the Thrifty Homeschooler suggested checking your local non-Office Max store to see if they will honor their competitor's coupons. That's what I'm going to try to do first. Otherwise, I'll try to hit the OM that's about 45 mins away during my next trip to NY.
Here's a link to their new coupon that mentions a limit of 50 feet.
Now, I hope my Staples around the corner will honor this coupon, and I hope I can find my homeschool ID card...otherwise I'll be posting a desperate St. Anthony request!

I just wanted to update, I heard that they are now (After many upset calls and emails) allowing homeschoolers in our local OM deal again. I thank God I completed mine before this trouble but it deeply saddens me that my Sister Hser's are having all this trouble!

I'm putting together my stuff for drop off #2 tomorrow and just found this cool bookmark through Dawn, Open and Shut Bookmark. So I think I'll stick a few strips of pretty paper in and then I'll be set with another easy craft for later on.
from Martha's site:
Laminate a strip of decorative paper, leaving an inch on each side. Round the corners with a corner punch. Punch a 1/8-inch hole on each end. Cut 2 pieces of elastic cord; thread one end of each through one hole, and tie ends in a square knot. Repeat on opposite end. Use one elastic cord to mark your page, and wrap the other around the entire book to secure it.

Whoo-hoo! Did my drop this AM, and NO PROBLEM!  I had visions of teenagers arguing with me and public school teachers pushing me out of line!
They didn't ask for an ID, just my maxcard number. They'll call me tomorrow when it's done. I told them I put stuff in order of priority, and they'll stop when they get to 50 feet.
