Addy Labels

So, I recently made some address labels (using the lettermo. image) on the computer because I bought a few sheets of blank labels at the I.D.E.A. store (more about that later). 

I thought it would be a nice cheap way to get more labels. Wrong.

I don't have a printer so I had to go to the FedEx store to use theirs. But I also had to pay approximately $1 per minute I used the computer.  And $1 for one sheet of colored printing. Still- I thought it would be quick and I'd just print a couple sheets. 

But the template I used did not fit the labels even though blah blah blah it was supposed to.

So long story short, I paid like $13 dollars for not very good quality labels.

But I still like the design and I'm still using them.

You can see in the photo how they aren't aligned properly.

But I was disappointed and I don't think I'll do that again. So I ordered some from a website in three different designs (two flowery and one space-y!) that I hope will look much nicer.

It's a good thing that on the one day a week I don't get mail, there's football.
Any other football fans out there?
I'm into lots of different things.  It's interesting because I find that by liking football I have something to talk about with a whole genre of people who otherwise I wouldn't have much in common with.

Anyway, I did spend a nice amount of time today responding to letters as well as reorganizing my stationery stash.  I've moved my spring/summer stationery into the hallway cupboard and brought out my fall/Halloween cards into my desk drawer. 

I also looked through the collection of Christmas cards I've amassed.  It'll be fun to start using them pretty soon too! Oh holidays, holidays, lovely holidays.

Two boring outgoing checks... but I used the opportunity to tell the USPS how I felt about them!

Also, you may have seen a few of those horsey return address labels of mine before... well look at how many I have!!

300!

And I got them all for free!

A friend gave me a coupon for them from Staples. I was so excited. I went in and got to chose the design and everything.

I'm in my last year of my masters program here, so I may only be at this address until the end of next August... so it will be a challenge to see if I can use all of them up! Do you think I can do it?
