Tackle It Tuesday – My New Label Maker

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
I have been so excited to share this and I haven’t had time to write this post! So, I’ve spent this evening uploading my pictures and I’m going to share my news.

fedex packageA while back I had entered a contest sponsored by Parent Reviewers and Dymo, manufacturer of some of the best label makers I’ve ever had the privilege to use. Then, just before Christmas, I received notice that I had WON! I was thrilled beyond words. Since we moved almost 2 years ago, I’ve been unable to locate our label maker and having one is such a great organizational tool, not to mention how handy a label maker is for assisting with school projects. Not long after that, I came home to find a package at my front door.  I wanted to rip it open right away, but I did pause just long enough for my daughter to snap a quick photo.  I knew I would be wanting to write about this very special occasion!

At first, I couldn’t think of anything I had ordered so was surprised to see the package. Then, my surprise turned intoDymo Label Maker delight when I realized that my brand new, shiny, super easy to use Dymo LetraTag Personal Labelmaker was inside. I ripped open the package and was even more thrilled when I realized that they had also included 7 additional rolls of label maker tape in a variety of colors, including a magnetic tape, plus AA batteries. How cool is that?!

Dymo Label TapeSo, my tackle for this week, besides getting this post written finally, is to get all of my electronic cords labeled. It drives me nuts when I’m looking for the camera cord and can’t figure out what cord goes to which electronic device. I’m going to feel so much better when everything is organized and labeled! WOOHOO! I do feel like a winner!

    That’s wonderful and a very good idea. My dad used to mark on his outlets what circuit each was on.

    This is my first visit to your blog. I came over from Tackle It Tuesday. I LOVE my label maker, and I do the very same thing as you. I label all my electronic cords. Hubby can look at them and tell what they go to, but not me … unless they have been labeled! So glad you were a winner!

    Congrats on winning. It looks like the one we own. I absolutely love it!

    I have to say that I have not thought of labeling cords. We have moved many times so now we have two boxes full of cords. I am afraid to throw any away because I know as soon as I do I will figure out what they were for and why we had them.
