Own Your Creations with ClothingLabels4U

It seems like all kinds of people are starting their own businesses online. People are starting clothing companies, blanket companies and cloth diaper companies.  You can find really cute handmade products online.  If you are not a great sewer like I am, you tend to look to others to make those special gifts for friends and family.  I can’t sew at all. I can make giant stitches and even then it looks horrible.  I have purchased gifts online from small companies before. I remember when Noah was a baby he received a bunch of blankets from people. If it isn’t shipped to you or you buy it, you don’t know where it comes from if it doesn’t have a label in it. If you really like something and you want to order more of the blanket or cloth diaper, you need to know where to go for more. Maybe the person who gave you the gift forgot where they purchased it. A label is important. If you are making clothes to sell or blankets or cloth diapers, you need to include a label. A can of soup wouldn’t be sold without a label, neither should your clothes. You can buy really beautiful custom labels from ClothingLabels4U.

ClothingLabels4U sells many different types of labels. They sell Woven Labels which are your standard clothing label. They also sell printed labels which don’t stand up like woven labels do. ClothingLabels4U has clothing labels which are thinner longer labels which would be great in women’s clothes.  Heat transfer labels are like iron on labels that are a quick way to attach your label with ease. ClothingLabels4U also sells embroidered patches. Noah really likes patches. We have patches from all kinds of places.  If you have an event that you would like to hand out patches like they did at the Science Festival we went to a few weeks ago, you can get them from ClothingLabels4U.  Embroidered Patches are also a cost effective way to make uniform shirts for your business to stand out from your customer.  

Labels are important on your products just like it was important to write your name on your schoolwork.  People need to know who created this beautiful masterpiece so they can tell their friends and increase business.

DYMO Label Maker Review and Giveaway

I try really hard to be organized now that I am a busy mom and a blogger. I have so much stuff that I need to keep in some kind of order. I have a file box for all my important documents that I bought when I was pregnant with Noah to keep track of all my doctors stuff, Noah’s doctor stuff and of course important documents that we have such as birth certificates. I have noticed throughout the years the little paper tabs they provided have fallen out, became lost and now it is a huge mess. I could no longer look at the tabs and find what I was looking for. I had to start going through files. I didn’t like that because that is how things get lost or misplaced.

I thought I would buy a label maker, you know one of those old ones that you have to literally squeeze until your hand hurt to sometimes punch out the letters. I didn’t really use that one much because it was so unreliable and took a long time. I usually had to reuse it a few times to get what I wanted the label to say. As a scrapbooker I have a ton of stuff that needs to be organized and not thrown all together because a lot of it is delicate and could rip easily. So, when I had the opportunity to try out the DYMO Label Manager 260P I was really excited.



Here are some of the cool features of the LabelManager 260P
• Prints professional quality labels on 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” easy-peel split-back DYMO D1 labels

• Includes separate set of keys for numbers, allowing for faster typing

• Features quick access buttons for punctuation and symbols

• Allows user to customize labels and add emphasis with three fonts, six font sizes, seven text styles, boxes and underlining

• Stores up to nine labels and is capable of inserting saved text

• Prints up to 10 copies of one label

• Sleek, compact and lightweight design, allowing for fast, uninterrupted labeling whether in the office or on-the-go

I love how easy it is to use. You just load the cartridge and you are good to go. I did have a slight problem with loading the cartridge but I figured it out quickly. I love that you are able to type out the labels on the keyboard. Since, I spend a lot of time typing I am able to label with accuracy and ease. My hand doesn’t hurt from squeezing out labels and hoping they do come out readable. You can even make different font sized labels. Great for people like my mom who has to wear reading glasses. It is also rechargeable! No more buying batteries or having to be restrained by the length of a cord. Just charge it and you are all ready to label your heart out. My scrapbook stuff is really starting to look organized.



The first label I made was of my blogs url. I stuck that on my label maker. Yes I am a dork that labels her label maker. Noah really enjoys the label maker too or should I say the labels. He thinks that they are stickers and I made a few practice labels right after I received it and he stuck them to himself. He is always asking me for stickers when he sees the label maker. I hid it because it is so easy my now 4 year old could use it. I am glad he wants to be organized but there would be labels full of random letters stuck all over the house. I have taught him that stickers do not go on walls, doors and windows so I think those would be safe!

Label me this....Label me that

Noah has a tendency to lose his stuff. He will accidentally leave it at my sister’s house almost every time he goes over there. I joke with my sister and say she purposely takes Noah’s stuff. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to try out Mabel’s Labels. Mabel’s Labels are adorable personalized labels.

Mabel’s Labels are colorful fun labels for your kid’s things. They come in a variety of colors and there are many icons you can choose from. There are different types of labels as well. They have clothing labels that are safe for the washer and dryer. Since they stick you don’t have to sew them in to the clothing!

There is also labels that are safe for the top rack of your dishwasher to label sippy cups, bottles, bowls and spoons. That would be great for daycare or the babysitter. The daycare teachers will love these.

Maybe your children are members of a play group or in scouts, Mabel’s Labels has shoe labels too! No more trying to figure out whose shoes are whose. Those would be great for children that play sports because they all have the same shoes. You put a protective top label on the top of it in case you were wondering about all the wear and tear from your feet.

Julie Cole had the brilliant idea for Mabel’s Labels after years of chasing her children’s belongings at daycare, school and friends’ houses. She got together with three of her female family members and Mabel’s Labels were born! Mabel’s Labels is a Canada based company that will gladly ship anywhere you can stick a label to something. They also make Allergy Alert Labels, Personalized Stationary, iron on labels for your tagless clothing and ID bracelets to name a few of the products. All items are created in house at Mabel’s Labels headquarters in Hamilton Ontario.

Many celebrity parents use Mabel’s Labels. They are a big hit with famous moms and dads. I can understand why because they are absolutely adorable. A few of Mabel’s Labels A listers are Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Kevin Costner. Mabel’s Labels have been featured on shows like The View, the Early Show and Canada AM. They also have been featured in magazines such as Parents Magazine, Today’s Parent, The Washington Post, Newsday and many other regional parenting publications. Mabel’s Labels has also won awards like the 2007 SavyMom “Momupreneur of the year” award, and Best product Awards from Baby Gizmo and iparenting Media.

Noah got the Ultimate Back to School Combo and his labels are the Naturals colors. He also got a fire truck image on them as well. He loves them. Noah can recognize his own name. So it is really extra special for him. He loves to spell his name for me. Every time he sees one of his labels he will say Fire truck and most of the time he will say N-O-A-H that spells Noah! The labels are extremely durable. My personal favorite is the new Teeny Tags because they are so cute. They look like little dog tags. We love Mabel’s Labels and we are having lots of fun labeling Noah’s things.

The Ultimate Back to School combo is on sale now. It contains 50 Tag-Mates, 40 Skinny-Minis, 16 Shoe Labels, 2 NEW Teeny Tags. It is only available until September 25th 2009. So hurry! It costs 39 dollars USD.
