Labelers have surely come a long way. The last labeler that I used was a manual Dymo labeler. With that, I had to crank a wheel to each letter and then I had to squeeze a handle to imprint each letter on to the label tape. I’m feeling a little old here. Had Brother not nudged me to review their new P-touch Labeling System, I would still probably be oblivious to electronic labelers. I’m not a hardcore labeler, so I don’t keep up with the latest labeling systems.
There’s one thing that I have trouble doing, and that’s staying organized. Life would be so much easier if I was organized and having the P-touch labeler around is motivation to get on the ball. Since we moved a few weeks ago, the house isn’t 100% how we’d like it. We’re still in the planning stages of our journey to organization. We have some ideas of how we want to put the P-touch to use.
Ideas we plan on using the P-touch for:
Labelling Boogie’s dressers drawers by underwear, cloth diapers, shirts, pants, and pjs.
Setting up a recipe box and sorting the recipes by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts.
Replacing the handwritten labels in our file box.
I took the P-touch on a few test runs. I had a minor set back since it takes a whopping 6 AAA batteries which aren’t included. I grabbed some from the store and have since replaced them with Energizer rechargeables. Once I got passed the battery issue, I was able to proceed with testing the P-touch Labelling System. It was very simple to use. You don’t even need the instructions unless you want to get fancy. I love using the Bohemia font with frames. The leaf frame is my absolute favorite. I enjoyed creating labels especially when I discovered the frames, each label took less than a minute to create and print. I had to stop myself before I became addicted! Here are some labels that I’ve created so far.

Oooh, just think I organized I would look if I had this wonderful P-touch Labeling System! I would use it to label the obvious for such things as our mortgage, financial, insurance, and tax files, and also for fun things like recipes and scrapbooking projects. But I would also use this P-Touch Labeling System to label all of my grandmother’s antique buttons because they are all in boxes that are not categorized or labelled. Okay, when I say what I am going to say it is not a type, my grandmother has over 100,000 Antique Buttons, and that is no lie! She has a room in her home filled with only buttons!! It is a sight to see, actually a beautiful sight because the buttons are all collectable and works of art! Some of them are well over 100 years old! It would make her day and at 74 years old it would rock her world if I came over and started organizing and labelling her button boxes for her. I am so glad I saw your review about this wonderful gadget and thank you so much for the chance to enter!

With being a homeschooling momma we have a lot that needs labeled. I have stuff thrown every which where. I would organize and label all our schooling books.
Oh…I would LOVE to have this labeler!!! I have 6 kids, three still at home and these kids are SO busy. Sports equipment, bags, and especially SHOES get so discombobulated when teammates meet at each other’s houses. What a zoo! Kids who fight (ahem…disagree) over the same calculators and other school supplies? Voila! Problem solved! And my husband is always lending out our tools and we never see them again. THIS this label just MIGHT give enough initiative and guilt? from a friend or neighbor to return what was borrowed…ummm, 5 years ago or so!!!! Yay, Yay!! I really NEED this item!!!
