RE: Geeking Out on Labels: Design Fun!
Ooh, these are really cool! I must admit I've never gotten fancy with an app for labels - to be honest, I didn't know about any, really! My labels are all hand written and mishmash based on what I had available at the time.
My favorites are the ones where I use these labels I bought from a catalog once - I thought they were sticky labels for reusing envelopes, which I did for work ALL THE TIME, covering them up with marker and various office supply labels. When I saw these, I thought, ooh, neato and convenient! But they're not sticky labels at all, they're just on plain paper, so you still need to glue or tape them down to use. XD I've done it, but I like them better as apothecary labels:
Normally I trim off the part that says "reuse envelopes, save trees" but I forgot to on this one. XD And yeah - that is a reused yeast jar. I reuse everything! :D
I attach them with packing tape, so the label is waterproofed and I won't smutz it up.
Ah, aren't you cute. These are sweet!! Now you have to post a recipe for the vapor rub!!! Go on you!!!
I think the label making appeals to the OCD in me. Yep, might be hyperbolic, but I feel better with things more organised - especially when I'm stressed. Plus, creating these decreased my stress, so I know what you mean about the aaaah that comes from organising cupboards! I got a box for my essential oils the other day and ooooh didn't that satisfy!!!
This was actually my first time making some. I think I might make it a bit stronger next time, but it takes a long time to use up a jar. :) Full of EOs you apparently can't use with young kids though, and I wonder about my childhood memories of mom using Vick's vapo rub on me! Lol
No, I totally understand the organization happy. So satisfying!

Right? I'm just wondering what ingredients were safe in that vs. homemade, or maybe people just didn't realize that you shouldn't use menthol on young kids back in the 80s, lol.
Ah, so THATS the cause of all thats wrong with me!!! Te he. What recipe did you use for your vapor rub? You have me intrigued now!!

Uhhhhh ...I'd honestly have to dig around to find it, but I think it was peppermint, eucalyptus, and ...rosemary, maybe? It was several months ago that I made it and the first time, so it's not embedded in my brain, but my first foray into making my own. XD I think the base was just olive oil and beeswax.
