As you put those new toys away

Put a label on those new electronic cords before you forget.

Don't think you will remember which cord goes to which item.

Because you won't.

I speak from experience.

I just uncovered a box of cords, not labeled, I have no idea what they are for, maybe a digital camera, maybe a Leapfrog toy? Just call it the cord lotto. Trying to upload pictures to my computer, this cord works! We have a winner! Ding ding! It would sound something like that.

Zoe got a Nook (I know! spoiled brat!) and an I Pod for Christmas and just looking at those cords along with a few more just made me start to sweat.

I used my label maker for Big Tall Hubby's new car warmer travel coffee mug, pictured above, (and a whole slew of other things) but you could also use a small piece of masking tape, cut to size Avery labels, White-out written with Sharpie, or a silver Sharpie (those show up great on black).

Happy labeling my friends. :)

Labels! So funny! Pinterst is fullfilling my need of organizing every little cranny spot of my home. It is already an addiction! With pinterst, I didn't think it was possible to see so many like minded label, container organizers in one place! They are feeding my craziness. heehee!

LOL I do the same thing! I actually bought a pack of white labels and and I write on them peel and stick around the cords, whala problem solved! I think you and I would get along so great! ;-)

Blessings,
Jill

I know...I have a box of cords and chargers and such. I just keep saving them because one day I'm gonna figure out what they go to. I do not have a label maker...another must-have.

Hi Jenny,

Not sure what part of Ohio you are in, but my husband is just leaving there this morning. He was out on a business trip at the aquarium. :-)

Have a good day!

Jill
