So... I am starting back up my Project Life this year with a photo-a-day and/or a minimum of 7 photos per week for 2011 (started January 1st, 2011). So far, so good. When I received my PL box of goodies from Amazon, I grabbed my video camera and (one-handed no less, LOL!) and shot this un-boxing of the PL contents.

I always have so much going on that it is so much easier for me to do it this way (and then I will go back and possibly add-in some scrapbook pages right into these pages as well).

The best thing about this dual-label printer is that there are two places to hold different sizes of labels that you need. The top portion holds larger ones, like mailing, and the other is great for labeling things for organization that is smaller (and the labels come in colors, too!) I am thrilled there is NO ink EVER to buy (it is a thermal printer) and it really does print the label within seconds! I printed out all my holiday mailing labels out - and was able to customize them according to business or personal use. I printed and customized as I needed since it prints just one at a time. You can also USPS postage and more on this, but I... Continue reading
