Label this and label that

While you might think this is strange or silly (and I lovingly agree) my best friend has a slight obsession with stickers. Really with anything sticker-like and this has come to include sticker labels. Yes, it's true. =o)

It helps that she also loves being organized, making lists and sorting things out. She's that girl, you know, that personality. She panics if she doesn't know what is in her spice containers.

It doesn't surprise me when I see her sticking labels on other people's food items in the refrigerator at work. Or on my doggy bag before we leave lunch. When she breaks out the color labels I might have to step in, haha.

There are times when I find labeling helpful as well. When Braeden was in his infant car seat I stuck a label on it which stated he has an IgA deficiency and asthma, in case we were ever in an accident.

When it comes to the DYMO label maker it is very helpful in creating sticky labels to use while studying. You don't have to dog ear the page or highlight everywhere if you can stick a label which then hangs out a bit marking the section you want to remember.

Or for those of you with young children you can print off labels with their name and put them in their books or on the bottom of their toys. This way you'll be sure to get their items back if they suddenly go missing. =o)

The DYMO label makers can cost under $30 and can be used nearly everywhere for nearly any purpose. And if you want to be even more frugal, the DYMO's LetraTag labels are removable and reusable.
