Well Gillian, I went to Wal-Mart tonight and bought a Duck Laminating Machine!
It was marked $24.98 on the shelf, but when I went to check out, it was only $19.98!! Woohoo..... I hope this one lasts a good while. I'm excited to start using it as well as my labelwriter!Speaking of my LabelWriter, I think my BF has big plans for it as well. He makes Turkey calls and is planning on making labels to put in them for when he sells them. Good investment I would say, since we both will get great use out of them!
