I Want To Love My Label Maker

I have read about the wonders of label makers on many blogs. People seem to be passionate about their label makers. I could imagine lots of ways to use a label maker in my classroom. So when WantNot linked to a great deal on a label maker a few weeks ago, I bought one. It arrived a week later in a box so large it could have held ten label makers.

I carried it to school, thinking that I would have time to label some things in my free time.

Turns out nobody has free time during standardized testing week, especially not first year teachers.

When I finally opened it up on Friday, I realized that I needed batteries. Which were at home.
So I brought it home, and it requires 6 AAA batteries!That’s like an entire package! So now I have to buy batteries just to play around with it.

Portable

How I kept my hands busy while catching up on season 3 of Battlestar Galactica:

This embroidery fit the requirement of being portable (and brainless) perfectly last weekend. These will be tag labels for my linen closet, although my reasons for embroidering the words had more to do with my desire to have a portable project than to have a super organized linen closet.

And… I can’t believe who the cylons are!
