WFMW: Label Books, CDs and DVDs
I haven’t forgotten that today is Works for Me Wednesday even though I am in the thick of this series of posts!Here’s today’s tip- Label your books, CDs and DVDs before you lend them to others. With CDs and DVDs- stick a label on the disc too! We’ve found this to be quite important since we loan out our stuff a lot and also borrow movies from our friends (who could give Netflix a run for their money)!
[I blocked out our info in the photo- wish I knew how to blur it but I don't]
I just used some computer labels and my print shop program to make our labels- nothing fancy. The labels read “Personal Media Library of” followed by our name and phone number. Our books are labeled “Please Return this Book to:” and our info. I have even made these for my children’s’ books and CDs as Maiden is always sharing her books and Adventures in Odyssey CDs with her cousin and then her cousin can’t remember what she’d borrowed . . . .
To be even more obnoxiously organized- we keep a lending sheet on the magnetic board in my office that lists what we’ve borrowed, what we’ve lent and the dates it was borrowed followed by the date it’s returned. Why? Because even though I’ve put lovely labels on everything- I couldn’t remember who I lent the item to and we all know that after x amount of months the lent item becomes absorbed into the borrower’s home and is therefore their possession!
Oh, And also to remind my niece what she’s borrowed!
And that dear readers, is what’s workin’ here today. Click to your hearts content at Shannon’s blog- there are over 150 tips and tricks there today!

My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
