Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Wheeeeeeeeeee!
That is me laughing and doing a very happy dance. I used my new laminator for the first time tonight and it works woooooooooooooooooonderful.
I had previously had a different laminator, a Sircle Lam something or other. It worked alright...sometimes. If you didn't put too many things in the pouch and if it was heated up enough between times and if you crossed all your fingers and toes and held your breath while it was running.
It drove me nuts because of the amount of things I had to redo. Probably over 50%. I was so frustrated. But I figured that it was my own fault for cheaping out. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but not much. Finally after another night of me practically throwing all my papers on the floor because of it, my hubby suggested buying a different one, one that worked and didn't give me the twitches.
So I bought a Scotch TL901 Thermal Laminator, and as you can tell it works. And bonus for me, I paid less for this one than the other one because it was on sale on Amazon, like somewhere around 80% off I think! Dude!
I picked it because Carisa from 1+1+1=1 uses it, and I'm sure she does way more laminating than I do, so if she uses it it probably works great.
So tonight I finally got my calendar pieces fixed. Hurrah! I would do calendar time with them, but it was difficult, to say the least, when we didn't have the month, or the day. So I would be like, "Well, today is the 12th, but we don't have that number, so we'll use 23." Doesn't seem to have quite the same effect.

Yay! I am so glad. Laminating is FUN :) (well if your machine works anyway).
BTW: if you are in need of lots of laminating pouches, Sams club has a huge package for around 19 dollars. ;)
Thanks for the tip! I'm always looking for cheaper prices, since the packs in town seem to be expensive to me. I think they are $13 for 50.
