Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Plastic is Good

December 15, 2011

Yes folks, plastic can be good and NO I’m not talking about credit cards – this is so much better! My $17 Scotch Laminator arrived today and I’m thrilled!! First off, yes, I really did get it for only $17 – it was on sale last week at Amazon during their Holiday Flurry Deals. I hemmed and hawed for a little bit, but ultimately decided I’d be kicking myself in the butt if I let this deal pass me by. So, I clicked and bought it.

Let me tell you, I’ve wanted a thermal laminator for awhile, but they can be so cost intensive! I just didn’t have the money to buy the over $100 plus versions no matter how good they were. So, when I saw this deal on Amazon, and saw all the 5 star reviews raving about it, I figured I couldn’t lose.

So, it arrived today and I just got finished laminating my first piece – it was so fun! It takes a few minutes to warm up, but you can use that time to pull together all your projects. The laminating pouches are folded/closed at one end and open around the other sides. That means you just slide your paper in the pouch leaving a little bit around the edges and you’re ready to go. Once the laminator is ready, a green light will come on, and then you just feed your project through. It is very speedy and quiet – very quiet! And this is the kind of lamination that is stiff – not just a coating – but the kind you would find in educational or office supply stores. It is exactly what I have wanted!!

I think my only problem will be that the kids will want to “play” with it whenever I have things to laminate, so I may have to let them help out a little bit. I can keep it on the table in the office (heck, I could probably find a space in this gigantic desk even!) and then it’s ready to roll when I need it.

Now I know you’re all asking – Did you take pictures?? Well, of course I did!

Wow! This is going to be so much fun for school and other projects I want to do! It feels like Christmas already :-).

Joyce - I know - it's great isn't it? I bought some small pouches for the machine and they were only $3.00 for a package of 20! I do have a project for the weekend too :-).
