Vinyl Closet Organization Labels Tutorial & Free Cut File
Vinyl is one of my favorite mediums to work with for both home decor and practical items…like labels! When I recently tackled the mammoth project of organizing our front hall closet, I decided that my Rubbermaid Organizers needed some labels to help keep things in order…but not just any old labels, some custom vinyl labels. My *Silhouette Cameo was up for the task!
Here’s the quick how-to, so you can see how easy this process is:
Vinyl Labels Tutorial
The Step-by-Step
Step 1. Design your labels. First, I opened up Silhouette Studio and created some labels in two different sizes to accommodate my differently sized Organizers. Because I have the Designer Edition software, I was able to use the rhinestone function to add some dots around the ovals for some added flair (I did this by adding a second oval inside the bigger one and selected the “edge” option). My font of choice, Marmellata Jam, was inspired by these labels by The House on Hillbrook.
Although you may not find a use for the particular label titles I used, feel free to download my complimentary cut file by signing up using the nifty form below or by clicking HERE.
You can ungroup the shape and add your own text after downloading the free font. Or maybe you, too, have a closet full of candles, school supplies, batteries, and lightbulbs that need organizing! {Fine print: This design is for personal use and is not to be used for commercial purposes. Thanks!}
Step 2. Cut your vinyl. Since our closet is darker, I chose white vinyl to really stand out on the clear front doors of our Organizers. When loading your vinyl directly from the roll, make sure the vinyl is properly centered on the rollers (you might need to readjust the rollers). Follow the cut settings recommended in Silhouette Studio, and let your machine work its magic.
Step 3. Weed your vinyl. This is usually a really easy process using the hook tool. You just pull away the excess vinyl and leave your label on the sheet. However, I quickly learned that weeding out all the tiny little dots I had created was going to take an eternity. Then, I had a brief moment of genius and decided to use a scrap of transfer paper to help pick up the tiny dots, and it worked quite well! It definitely save me some time.
Step 4. Apply transfer paper to your vinyl labels. I cut out my transfer paper to cover each individual label, using the red grid-lines as a size-guide. Then, I used a scissor to rub over the transfer tape to ensure a solid stick between the vinyl and the transfer paper. Next, I peeled the blue vinyl backing away, ensuring that the vinyl was stuck to the transfer paper.
This was my first time using transfer paper (I’ve always used the inexpensive alternative…contact paper). While contact paper works in a pinch, I learned that transfer paper is 10x easier!
Step 5. Apply your labels to your surface. If you want to be really precise, you can use a strip of painter’s tape on the top of your transfer paper to ensure your label is centered correctly, but I just decided to throw caution to the wind and “eye” it. Because vinyl sticks so well to plastic, I only needed to rub my scissor edge on the transfer paper a few times to makes sure the label had adhered to the Organizer. Then, I peeled off the transfer tape, and voila! The Organizer was labeled!
And here they are in action, in our newly organized hall closet:
For the baskets that did not have a plastic surface, I cut some oval pieces of chipboard using my Silhouette, painted them black using acrylic paint, and applied my vinyl labels to the chipboard. Then, I used hot glue to adhere the labels to the baskets.
I’m banking on these labels to help us maintain organization in this closet after investing the time and sweat into organizing them in the first place.
Also, in the event that we have guests staying at our house, labels will help them find what they need and return it to its proper place…who am I kidding, it will help us when we get forgetful!

Sugar and Flour containers!
I would love to win this!! Would love to use it for scrapbooking!
My sewing room/studio/office needs BIG TIME HELP! Organization labels would be so awesome!!
I would use it at home because my home is my work place. I would make labels for the containers in my pantry. Awesome!
I think I’d jazz up my work tablet
Thank you for the tutorial! I just bought the vinyl pack for the Silhouette Cameo and am so excited to try using vinyl! I’m a sort-of newby, and have been hesitant to use anything but paper in my silhouette. BTW, when I bought the vinyl pack, I used your 40% off code – thanks for that!!!
I would use custom labels in my home office/playroom. I’ve spent the summer trying to organize and this would be the finishing touch! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I have a bunch of those plastic storage drawers and it’d be nice to label them all so I know what is in each drawer. They are organized minus the labels!
Great tutorial! I have to give this a try.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
EVERYTHING at my work needs custom labeling! Haha. I’m a Youth Services Librarian in a very small public library and I’ve been eyeing the Cameo as a way to prep storytime crafts. I love the idea of using it to create label, which would be great for all the craft supplies I have stored in my office.
Oooo! Storytime crafts sound like loads of fun. I have great respect for librarians, especially ones that invest in the lives of young people. Props to you, Amy!
I would make some cute kitchen canisters!
I love organization!!! I would go to town labeling things in the laundry area, kitchen, and my office. I have lots of photo albums/scrapbooks that could use some label magic as well. I love the photos of your work and your nifty idea to speed up the dot removal process.
Thanks, Lorrie! Hopefully my method will help make the process go more speedily for others (like your sweet self). The New Yorker in me loves a good time-saver.
I would make some wall quotes.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! My whole house needs some vinyl label! I’d label the dog I’d be so excited to win this!
Bah ha ha! You’re killin’ me with the thought of a dog with a purdy label slapped across its forehead!
I’d like to make monogrammed pillows
So excited about this giveaway Lauren! Maybe if I win, I can finally be as cool as Amy 😉
You’re already Captain Cool Pants in my book, Kirsten! 😉 But I’m excited you’re excited.
my office could definitely use some organization and labeling. cameo to the resuce!
My husband works from home (and I’m currently unemployed, so I’m always in there, too), and the office is a mess! I would love to organize it, and vinyl labels would come in sooo handy!
This would make organizing so much easier. To paraphrase an old Libbys commercial, If it has Labels, Labels, Labels, don’t just put it on the table”, put it away.
Ha ha! What a fun, catchy jingle! Love how you adapted it to apply to labels, Kelly. So clever!
I need to organize, organize, organize! And then probably organize some more.
I hear ya! It’s never-ending, right?
My house can definitely use vinyl labels for more organization! Especially in the kitchen!
Ive wanted one of these for so long! Great giveaway!
my whole craft room needs labeling
Honestly, I’d vinyl everything! 🙂 I’m making some changes in the home and moving things around. Getting more organized. I really could go for labeling and sticking everything. Mainly, I’d like to work on our family portrait wall though! 🙂
A family portrait wall sounds loverly, Breanna! I need one of those.
I’d love to use this in my son’s room.
Quest ~ to label my life!! At school (my work) and at home…so the hubby puts it away in the Right Place!!!
Winning this would sure help me out!!
xoxo
I think we’re on a shared quest, my friend! Must. label. everything. 🙂 Thanks for entering, Sharon!
I need labels for all the toy bins
Would love to organize even more!
Trying to get more creative and make my own things! This would surely help!
I would love to win a cameo and make some cute personalized baby gifts and decorations for the house!
I’d love to lable some kitchen canisters to start! 🙂
My husbands computer parts in boxes.
I need to get my whole life organized!
I work out of my car mostly, and my goal is to have organized bins for all of my supplies, I would love a Silhouette to be able to make that organization pretty! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Would love one of these before the holidays thanks
I want to use vinyl to make a custom backsplash in my kitchen
Soooo many ideas, so happy to find your site!
Yay! So happy to have you, Stacy. You are welcome in these parts anytime. 😉
I have been wanting one of these!! I absolutely love it! I do tons of giveaways and projects and this would definitely come in handy!! Hope I win! <3
My entire house could finally function with vinyl labeling. I am organized to the extent that things are in boxes, crates, etc. I promise myself I will remember what is where, but then I find myself pulling every box and everything out to find what I am looking for. Which then makes me think I am completely chaotically organized (as long as I don’t need anything, LOL) That’s exactly my life!
I can understand that dilemma, Lucretia! Unless I have a label on it, I quickly forget what’s inside…even if I meticulously organized it a few weeks ago. So, you’re not alone!
Any and Everything in my house could use a lable! Ha! Mostly though I would like to lable my playroom/storage area.:) Thanks for the awesome giveaway.:)
We do a lot of crafts and have many totes that aren’t labeled. This would be great for all those totes.
I also make jewelry and this would come in handy for that as well.
What an awesome idea and thank you for the opportunity.
I would put labels on anything.
I would love to make wall art for my kitchen
I’d really like to add cute labels like these to kitchen canisters.
I LOVE your labels, Lauren! I so need to make labels and tags to organize my pantry!
My kids’ toy storage bins need some labels so maybe the toys would actually go back where they belong! =)
My first project, should I EVER win a Silhouette (and believe me I enter on every possible opportunity) will be a WallArt gift for my brother. I owe him so much and would love to be able to help him decorate his new home in some way.
How sweet of you to think of someone else first when it comes to imagining potential Silhouette projects. Your brother is a lucky guy!
I want one of these machines so BAD, thanks for the chance.
my craft room!
My family is now Vegan, so I have lots of “new” spices, beans, rice, spice blends, ect. that I keep in mason jars. So it would make it so much easier on the family to cook on their own if everything was labeled properly!!!!!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you have everything so artfully arranged…yes, labels would definitely be the icing on the cake of that organizational mason jar masterpiece!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway, Lauren! I’m hoping to use the Cameo in my 4th grade classroom…the vinyl would come in handy for my whiteboard!
Good thinking, Kathryn! I never had a Silhouette when I was teaching in the classroom, but it’d be great for creating categories for the board (like classwork, homework, date, agenda, etc.) to avoid having to rewrite them all the time.
I’m really hoping to win this for use in our homeschool projects!
I want to get my own organized and using this to make cute labels would be awesome as well as getting more quotes up on my walls. I like the idea of then also being able to make seasonal ones.
EVERYTHING. Everything in my house/office/car/head/facebook needs labeling and with vinyl. Preferably sparkly vinyl 🙂
Oh, yes! Sparkly vinyl is the only way to go.
I would love to use labels on all the bins that hold my sons toys. Thanks for the chance.
Okay! So I did not win last time you did this . . . . So here it is again! I will send you my addy when ever you are ready!
LOL
I am doing the same thing! But I am painting the closets before I organize them, Your label is prefect! Now I just need the machine!!
Fingers and toes and my dogs toes crossed!!
Thanks!! LeAnn
your forever fan!!
LeAnn, I plan to keep offering these until everyone gets one, so hang in there, girlfriend!
Ha ha. And you’re cracking me up with the image of your dogs’ toes crosses. 😉 Too funny.
My kitchen and craft closet are both in bad need of some label work.
Im a librarian and i would LOVE some new labels on the bookshelves!!!
I could use it to make labels for my kitchen pantry items! I’ve been wanting to do that forever! Thanks for the giveaway!
i need to label my craft supplies…
I have the perfect empty spot on my desk that it can sit on. Id love to have it to use on everything home style to crafting. It would be awesome. Thanks for the chance to win one.
I have 2 kids, 3 birds, 1 rat, 1 gerbil, and possibly getting another bird or two. I need to be able to label everything! 😀
Ha ha! Love the collection of animals you’ve acquired! I can just imagine all the items you’re itching to label.
Omg I LOVE vinyl decals and lettering…. just thinking of all the things I could make with this makes my head spin!!!
I would love to make labels for my kitchen. I love the large glass containers that I have seen on Pinterest that has Flour, Sugar, etc on them. Or even in the laundry room that have detergent, fabric softener. So many ideas!
It’s true! I’ve labeled my flour and sugar jars, too, I just couldn’t resist the fad!
My first project would be to label my pantry!
My kids’ toy bins need new labels like woah, so I’d use it for that! Thanks for the great giveaway, friend!
~Abby =)
My pantry could use some labels!
Love these labels! Such a great idea.
My Pantry!!!
There are so very many ways I could use this CAMEO (fabulous giveaway, btw). We moved to Michigan less than a year ago and I’m trying to organize seasonal decorations, our pantry, and establish a sewing/crafting/office space so I could use it so many ways in these places. I also have a handful of projects I haven’t even started because I need the perfect craft machine to complete them (the wall art / canvas I’m making for my niece). I’m also getting married in less than a year and there are quite a few DIY projects that I would like to complete and I think the CAMEO would be ideal. Finally, I’m a teacher so there are literally endless possibilities for how to use this in the classroom. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Thank you. Xo
Leslie, what an awesome list! I can tell a Cameo would get such great use in your hands! Best of luck to you.
In days-gone-by, I was so organized, but now I’m not because of situation, space and time – or lack thereof. I’d love to do an overhaul here and have been thinking about it recently… One of these days… I love all of your ideas and your blog, M’Dear! ;-}

I want to make lots of labels to organize my pantry.
I have drawers and boxes of kids craft and school supplies, right now it’s impossible to remember where everything is so I just have to get new supplies even though I know that I already have some somewhere!
Definitely in my craft room and the playroom. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to win a Cameo for lots of organizing projects at home!
My pantry needs labels. I cannot find anything!
I left a comment here:

Thanks for the giveaway, I would love to work on some projects for our new nursery
My kid’s larger sized clothing could use some labels
I need to label my filing cabnets & office supplies
Oh I so entered!!
How great you have another give-away of a Cameo and also the labels you made–so kind to give them for free!
I also was mesmerized by your little video (a gif?) of you putting on a label. You’ll have to teach us/me sometime how to upload that. Great tutorial and all the best to whomever wins the give-away. Also, looking forward to your post(s) about the Haven Conference whenever you have time to do that (after shark week?). Love, love!!
It’ SUPER easy to make your own gif! Just use this free site: http://gickr.com/ And it works best if you use a tripod, so your camera stays in the same place for all the photos, but it’s not necessary!
Thanks for that link as to how to make a gif!
For sure! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
A better question might be what would not be labeled? Tons of things at home and in my classroom. I’d be the envy of every teacher in the building.
Yes you would, Sylvia! The possibilities for using a Silhouette in the school setting are endless….
I could really use some labels on all the jars in my kitchen and my pantry shelves.
I would love to win this! I have been saving my money to buy one! Please let me win!
I have really nice rubbermaid canisters for my baking supplies,but no labels, it would be super nice to have some.
my home office and pantry could definitely benefit from some labeling!
We just moved into a new house, so I could use some labels for all kinds of things!
Ooohh – I would love to get my sewing room organized. The Cameo sounds amazing. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!!
I could really use this! My fiancé and I were supposed to get married this October and we lost our home in the May 20th Tornado that effected Oklahoma. We lost all of our wedding stuff so we are getting to start over. We can’t afford to pay for it all over again so now I am trying to make everything I can for our wedding. I have watched so many tutorials on the Silhouette and I know that if I had one I could make almost all of my wedding stuff. Thanks for the giveaway!
So sorry to hear about all of the losses you have suffered, Amber. Makes me all the more excited that you were one of my MOO Giveaway winners!
I would love to win the cameo and everything in my home needs vinyl labels. I love what you have done and I really need to get organized and being able to make these labels myself would really help.
I should make labels for the pantry! I just need to get me some good organizational…things. ^_^
Thanks for the chance to win! Love this project : D
I could use some labels on ME!! Announcing that I am the winner – wish wish wish. I would do that and take a picture just so you would know I am true to my word!! I would just love to win – JUST ONCE!!!
Hang in there, Karen! I NEVER win stuff, and then last fall, I won an epically huge giveaway at Lil Blue Boo that rocked my world for several months. Here’s to hoping the same will be for you! (And you cracked me up with the idea of labels on yourself. I feel like I need that, too, sometimes!)
I would love to use some labels to better organize everything around the house. Post-it note labels only hold up so well, ya know? 🙂 Vinyl labels seem a lot more kid-friendly!
It’s true. I love a good post-it, but they’re not the best for the long-haul…or for kids with grabby hands. Ha ha.
I think everything needs labeled in my house. This would make it really easy. I am 70 years old and I can never remember where thing are. Bless you
Bless you, too, Shirley! Thanks for taking the time to comment and enter in the giveaway fun.
You make it look so easy!!! Now if only I could be so organized. Well maybe I could if I won 😉

I have some large Rubbermaid tote boxes that hold lots of stuff in my sewing/craft room. I need some clever labels so I can find my supplies!
Lauren,
I can’t wait to see your recap of the conference. I am really planning on going next year. I did find a conference in Orlando in September for Florida bloggers I am going to attend. Are you attending?
Anyhoo I have never used one of these but I really want to! I am thinking I could organize my food panty!
Hope your day is great!
Sandra
The Adored Home
Glad that we already established that we’re BOTH going to be at FL Blog Con! Watch out, world! (It’s going to be simply grand to meet you, face to face, Sandra.)
I would love this to organize my kitchen and get me prepared for my baby shower!
What a fun blog title you have, Elise! (I heart pears, too. Who doesn’t?!) And congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy!
The storage containers in my pantry sure could use some labels.
A little girl nursery — the closet needs some fancy organizing! 🙂
Thanks for the great tutorial and the chance to win the Silhouette!
I would lable everything! Including my kids, I have been eyeing the printable tattoo paper Silhouette makes and it would be perfect for disneyland trips!
I want to try the tattoos, too! And what a great idea to use the on your kids at Disneyland! Brilliant.
How cute are those labels! 🙂 I desperately need to cut those puppies out and slap on some tubs around here. Yay! For another awesome giveaway Lauren! Hope you are having a great week!
Home! I’m doing a ton of new organizing things that could definitely use some pretty vinyl lettering 🙂
I have the Ikea Expedit shelves in my craft room (love them) and would love to make vinyl labels for the little cubbies so I remember what items are stowed away there. I have boxes and baskets in the cubbies so I always have to pull them out to remember what’s in there.
Love those IKEA Expedits! And good idea to add some labels to those cubbies to keep everything organized and under control.
I can’t wait to hear all about the Haven Conference! I followed everyone’s pictures on Instagram and it looked like a blast!
My pantry could definitely use some of the cute labels you made. 🙂
It was incredible, Teresa (not sure if you saw my recap post on it or not). If you can make it there next year, I highly recommend it! Would love to meet you if you do!
My pantry and storage closet!
I would love to make labels for my craft supplies!
I would use the labels to organize all my baby stuff – bottles, nipples, clothing, bibs, etc.. Long list. Really, really really hope I win.. There is so much I would do with a Silhouette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great long list, Marni! And so specific, too. I can tell you have big plans for a new Silhouette!
Thank you for the great giveaway. I have wanted to try one of these out for a long time. I currently have a Cricut but am wondering if the Silhouette is a better machine. Can you use your own designs and fonts with the Silhouette? With the Cricut you have to purchase their cartridges.
With the Silhouette, you purchase designs from the Studio store. If you want to tour it, you can window shop before you buy! After finding the Silhouette, I would NEVER move to Cricut. Cartridges are so limiting! With the Designer Edition you can even design your own cuts, print and cuts, and rhinestone designs! Also, ANY (well, almost any, we’ve run into hiccups with a few) font you download to your computer, will load up into Studio, and you can use it!! I’ve got close to 300 fonts…
Ty for the great information Shannon.
Yes, thanks for jumping in with your sage wisdom, Shannon! As always!
Hmm, mason jars for the craft room? If I enter enough, maybe I’ll win?
I want to win!!! I’ve been wanting one of these forever, so I can be a labeling fool!
girl, so glad to have met you at haven and SO in love with this giveaway! 🙂 my office needs labels…my kitchen needs labels…my classroom needs labels. are there things that don’t need to be labeled?
Good question, Jessica! I think not!
My pantry and craft room closet could use some labels.
I am SO THRILLED about this giveaway!! I’ve been meaning to email you in more detail from last time. I want to hear about Haven!!! Hope you’re doing well girl! xoxo
Love your labels. I like that you made them into an oval. So you like the transfer paper, huh? I knew you would be hooked. Since it’s on sale, I’d better get some. Man, this isn’t a cheap hobby. I better get to crocheting to pay for my habit.
Yes, I’m a huge fan now! (You warned me…ha ha.) And it’s true, I can’t resist all the fun Silhouette supplies. But I figure it’s an investment in our creativity, right?
The kitchen would be labeled for my very first project then its onward and upward with this grand Silhouette Cameo!
Found your giveaway via pinterest. super excited
I have a lot of boxes that contain craft supplies that could use some vinyl labeling!
Phew, I am finally finished screaming! Wow, a Cameo Giveaway, miracles do happen! (keep believing, keep believing, keep believing..hee hee).
I hope you had a wonderful venture to Haven! I bet you are still trying to organize all your new ideas and skills…what a great sounding conference! I am looking forward to reading all your shared stories!
Love that chant, Kristine! And your willingness to believe!
And it’s true, even a week later, I’m still sorting out my list of TO DOs and coming up with new ideas every day for what I want to do on the blog. It definitely pumped me up for all that lies ahead!
I have this vision of our office area perfectly labeled and organized…. Kinda like Lauren’s closet!
Aw, thanks! Hope that vision becomes a reality, Maaike.
I need some vinyl love everywhere! I have a few sign ideas and my kids want to make shirts. 🙂
I really need to do some labeling in my mud room and my pantry. Oh, I hope I win!
Okay, I’m jealous now! 🙂 not only did you get to go to HAVEN, you have a Silhouette, but you can also get to make your own cute labels 🙂 Yep, very jealous now! 🙂
I’m so happy that you got to HAVEN and meet bloggers, too bad I live so far away! will you be posting about it, I would love to read about your HAVEN experience?
hope you are having a great week Lauren!
There’s a blog conference coming up in Canada, I hear! Blog Podium, I believe. I know Thalita and Alex are going. Any chance you’ll be there? And you betcha I had to post about my time at Haven. How could I not share all of the exciting things I learned and people I met with my dear readers? Hope you had a great weekend, Ingrid.
Hey Lauren, when you mention SD Card – where or what function is that on the cameo? do I have a slot for that and never knew it? does it upload pics straight to it?
Here’s a post in which the blogger used the SD card: http://www.keepingitsimplecrafts.com/2011/11/silhouette-cameo-101-sd-card.html Hope that answers your questions, Kelly!
I am sooooo sold on getting one… just need to hook up with a Canadian source!! I am sure you had a fabulous time at Haven – look forward to some detes!
Hoping Silhouette broadens its reach to Canada soon. I have so many Canadian blogger buddies like yourself who would be all over it.
These look great! Can’t wait to hear about Haven so I can live vicariously : ]
Another Silhouette giveaway so quickly, and this one a Cameo! Thank you for the great tutorial and the opportunity. 🙂
You’re welcome! Glad you joined in on the giveaway fun, Kristy.
I need some labels on all my shoeboxes of craft supplies 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
<3 this design; thanks for sharing! I haven't tried transfer paper yet so I'm sure this tutorial will be invaluable! 🙂
A step-by-step tutorial & a giveaway? You’re too good to us! And for the record, these labels are super cute!
Thanks, Heather! Love to share these giveaways with y’all!
Hi Lauren,
Welcome back! Can’t wait to see the tips you’ll bring back from the Haven conference. I hope to be able to attend next year. I’m back to blogging again and want to begin doing paper crafts this fall and winter. Back in 2010, I purchased the Cricut Expression and soon became disillioned because I refused to spend tons of money on all the cartridges (when only one or two images interested me). So, I’ve barely used the machine. I’m considering selling it on ebaby for a son! What machine do you recommend in the Silloutte category? It’s inspiring that I can come here for tutorials on how to use. Your suggestions?
So glad you’re back in the blogging races again, Sandy! And it’s true, the major downside to the Cricut and major upside to the Silhouette is the cartridges issue. The deal on the Portrait is pretty sweet considering the value you’re getting, but in general, people say that if you can swing the price of a Cameo, do it. It really is nice having the capability of cutting 12 x 12 pieces, especially when it comes to paper crafting. But truth be told, there aren’t many other downsides to the Portrait than the smaller cutting area. And of course, if you got a Silhouette, I’d HAVE to add you to my Silhouette FB group, so we could hang out together there. You’d be flooded with inspiration and ideas from all the gals in the group, let me tell ya!
Thanks to you (and your sponsor) for doing these giveaways. Sooner or later the odds have to go in my favor, right? 🙂
That’s right! “May the odds be ever in your favor!”
I have never used one of these but see them all over place and after this cute tute… I NEED ONE!! Love ya girl… and LOVE catching up on your blog!! 🙂
So excited for you that you were able to attend the Haven conference. I can’t wait to hear about your experience. I tried my hand at the give-a-way, just in case!
Glad you put yourself in the mix, Christine! (And by the by, I heard from your bloggy buddy who emailed me that you refer to me as “The Silhouette Whisperer.” Not sure if those were your exact words, but if they were, they cracked me up. I literally laughed out loud when I read that. And sat a little taller in my chair. Ha ha.)
I have office supplies and soon to be baby things to organize and would love to use the machine for that!
