Mabel's Labels Personalized Custom Labels for Sippy Cups, Clothing, Organization, and More

Mabel's Labels, a Canadian based company founded by moms, offers a great way to keep track of your child's items. They are perfect for labeling clothing, cups, and bags for school, daycare, camp, play dates, and more. The personalized labels enable you to customize labels with your choice of vibrant colors and choose from a variety of fun icon designs for boys and girls.

We received some samples to try and I love them. We tested one on a sippy cup and ran it through the dishwasher. They weren't kidding about labels staying put. After about five minutes of painstaking peeling, I was able to remove it. It did leave a sticky residue, which came right off with my fabulous Goo Gone sticky remover.

Famous Sticky Labels:

  • UV and fade resistant.
  • Withstands the dishwasher.
  • Colorful labels with a variety of fun icons to choose from.

  • Clothing Labels:

  • Includes iron-on, Tag-Mates, and shoe labels.
  • Resists wear and tear.
  • Withstands washer and dryer.


  • Do your kid's have allergies? The allergy labels allow you to list up to six allergies and stick the labels to food containers, cups, and more!

    Mabel's Labels isn't just for kids. Grown-ups can label their food containers, cups, silverware and won't have to worry about losing them at work. Plus, check out the household labels, which include classroom pack, crafter pack, and my favorite, the cord control.

    Mabel's Labels just made my life a little easier.

    Retrospective Design Photo Montages, Invitations and Announcements, Photo Books, Photo Restoration

    I can't say how much I love the photo montage I received from Josephine Swanson, designer of Retrospective Designs. When Anja, our eleven year old dog, died last year, I wanted to create a montage of images that included the entire family as a tribute to her. However, I had no idea how to design one.

    When I heard about Retrospective Design, I decided to submit a few images to see what Josephine could come up with. I simply emailed a few images and let her know that I was interested a montage in sepia or black and white. She came up with the most amazing montage that really touched my heart. Since we didn't have one image of the entire family together with Anja, I had to provide several various images. Josephine cropped the images and placed them together beautifully and seamlessly. She added little paw prints and left an area for me to add a sentiment to the montage. A proof was emailed to me to look over and make changes as needed. I received a gorgeous 8x10 print that is now framed for the entire family to enjoy.

    The entire experience was wonderful. Josephine's expertise made it easy because she was able to capture exactly what I had envisioned to preserve our special memories of our beloved Anja.

    Features:
    • Submit photos digitally or by mail.
    • Choose from a variety of materials (5x7 to 16x20, canvas, posters, and prints).
    • Include dates, favorite quotes, and names.
    • Montages, books, photo restoration and invitations, announcements or holiday cards.
    • Beautiful and unique gifts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, retirement, and more.

    Brick House Paperie Three Designing Women Custom Stamps, Elegant and Whimsical Custom Personalized Note Cards, Stationery, Invitations, Announcements

    Brick House Paperie
    Mom always taught me the proper etiquette of writing a simple thank you note. It reflects your genuine gratitude. A thoughtful gesture that a casual online e-card does not properly convey. So why don't I? Because Mom told me to. Actually, I think it's because I didn't have these ultra chic note cards and a customized address stamp.

    These new customizable stamps from Three Designing Women, as seen on the Today Show, are available in a variety of unique and sophisticated designs. Personalize them with personal or business address information, book plates, gift card stamps, and much more. There are so many fabulous designs, I had a difficult time narrowing down the choices. I'm extremely thrilled with our new address stamp that displays our family name and address.
    The stamp is simple to use and stamped the envelope perfectly. Easy to follow instructions are included to refill the ink when the stamp begins to fade. It coordinates beautifully with my new dramatically chic Black Blossom note cards from Boatman-Geller. They are printed on premium cardstock and customized with my name in one of many font choices. Boatman-Geller's love for patterns and colors have captivated the market with their distinctive designs and superior quality.

    Brick House Paperie, owned and operated by Jennifer Free, is the paper-lover's dream. Her savvy computer skills and passion for beautiful paper has created an appealing site that is simple to navigate and filled with a wonderful selection of customized stationery, invitations, announcements, and labels.
    Her collection of stationery includes a variety of styles from whimsical and fun to elegant and sophisticated. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with and is dedicated to offering prompt and personal service.

    Karen Cole Paper offers a fabulous collection of hand-illustrated whimsical designs that your recipients will adore. We received a selection of samples and each one is brought to life with vibrant and charming illustrations created by artist Karen Bullard.
    There wasn't a single one I didn't love. Each illustration is professionally printed on heavy-weight bright-white card stock and left blank to fill in all the details. And, for those of us not "printer savvy", we can simply drop by our local printer and let them do the work for us. I love the idea of having these fabulous cards on hand and ready to print for our next event. Cards are affordably priced and each set of ten comes in a one-piece acrylic box and includes envelopes.
