Loveable Labels! Something to Love for Everyone (Review & Giveaway)

2011-09-10T01:33:00.001-06:00

I am a labeler, so I was thrilled when Loveable Labels offered to send us a Back to School pack of their labels to try! There are lots of ordering options on their web site, but this package offers a great assortment of labels for marking everything from pencils to gym shoes in one neat package. My grandson is entering third grade and chose Classic Black labels with a basketball motif to mark his gear. I was so pleased with how quickly our order arrived and the way the labels are packaged. They came in a booklet form! I love the way they all stay together this way instead of a multitude of sheets that need to be stuffed back into a plastic bag. The booklet is divided and labeled with the type of labels (15 Regular Sticker Labels, 80 Slimline Labels, 48 Press N’ Stick Clothing Dots, 12 Shoe Labels, 12 Multi-Purpose Square Labels). It doesn't end there! This pack also included two "dog tags" with my grandsons name. One is on his back pack and the other he wanted on a chain around his neck. He says it is "cool". He was able to use the labels himself and put them on his pencils, spiral notebooks, markers, and all the rest. We love the shoe stickers for the inside of his gym shoes! A stray shoe will now be easily returned!

I'm equally impressed with the quality of the stickers. They appear durable and of high quality. The labels we put on his sandwich box and lunch bag have survived several washings and certainly don't look like they're coming off anytime soon!

I hope you'll spend some time at Loveable Labels. This product isn't just for kids. I think these are a great replacement for address labels on those items where you don't want the label to come off...camera, laptop, tote bags, and more. A set of labels with my name and a slimline set with my phone number would be awesome!

Fellowes P-12C Shredder Giveaway at Mom Start

2011-03-29T23:08:00.000-06:00

Everyone needs a shredder! Here's a nice one being given away at Mom Start. We have one that lives in our pantry that is handy for shredding unwanted mail that comes through the door. But it would be great to have another one upstairs for hubby's office!

Here's a little shredder trivia! I tell everyone about this whenever the subject of shredders comes up. Once upon a time I had a laptop that quit...as in it wouldn't even turn on. I sent it to the manufacturer for repair and it was determined that my power supply had blown out. We hadn't had any indication of a power surge of any kind and there was nothing else that had malfunctioned. A week or so later I happened to look at the owners manual for our shredder (odd, I know, who does that?). Guess what? It said to NOT plug the shredder into the same outlet or even the same circuit as a computer cause...it creates a power surge when you turn the shredder on. Yep, it was the shredder that damaged my laptop!

Win an HP TouchSmart 310 at Dear Crissy

2011-02-21T00:33:00.002-07:00

Dear Crissy is giving away an HP TouchSmart 310! Who wouldn't love that? I would be in photo editing heaven with this computer. One of the things I learned in a webinar about photo editing was to use a monitor with a black (or white) frame around the screen. Any other color, like my pink, can make it difficult to judge colors in the photos. But what I'd really love is the touch screen feature. Imagine just touching instead of moving your mouse and clicking or using a touchpad...pure heaven! Before I retired I used touchscreens in my job to contact other air traffic controllers. They were so easy to use! I also love that you can have a desktop PC that doesn't hog a lot of desk space or clutter up the scenery with wires. Want to enter?
