Pre-Made Labels - Sometimes DIY Isn't the Answer

Smart Girls DIY has moved to SmartGirlsDIY.com and this post can now be found here
Hip, hip, hooray!  Both my parents have finally started reading my blog.  Yay!  They both visited my facebook page for the first time too, although neither has liked it yet.  Maybe one of these days.  Anyway, it really is about the little things sometimes and  I want to talk about is my neat little canisters in the kitchen.  I've been meaning to put some pretty homemade labels on them forever.  Well, I decided not to reinvent the wheel and I embraced Martha Stewart.  Yeah, not MY inner Martha Stewart.  The real one.  Her and her partnership with Avery labels.

I finally re-did my labels, and it took about 10 minutes, a pack of Martha Stewart Home 

Office™ with Avery™ Chalkboard Labels (8 for $6.99), and a silver Sharpie.   

I should have done this a long time ago!

Even though the labels are chalkboard, I opted against using chalk because it seemed like it'd be messy and rub off easily.  If I change my mind about what's in there, I can always change the label.  These bad boys peel right off and leave no stickiness.  Unlike the previous labels I had on there.

I had to scrape the goo from the old labels off.

You know what's funny?  The canisters are Martha Stewart too.  I bought them on clearance at Macy's years ago.  Here they are in our old house.  Check out the kitchen renovation here.

Anyway, they are looking so much better now.  

They make me smile every time I see them.  Aww.  True love.

  

Disclaimer:  Once again I am so lame that I write these reviews by my own free will and neither Martha Stewart, Avery, or Staples give a hoot about what I have to say.  Unfortunately.  Nor am I going to be compensated in any way if you buy their products.  Again.  Very unfortunate for me.  :(

Thanks for stopping by.  You rock!
