Does anybody have any good sources for reasonably priced address labels? I made the mistake of ordering a set of them from a flyer and they look like they were done on a dot matrix printer. Luckily, I only paid $5-6 for them. Any suggestions for something that's not expensive but somewhat stylish?

I've always purchased mine from: http://www.colorfulimages.com/

They have a lot of options to choose from and they are pretty reasonable. I bought mine in 2003 and I'm still using them! Granted, I may not use them a LOT, but they're a good buy! :)

Thanks, I'll definitely check them out.

I sign up for all the free ones i can find so i'm overflowing with complimentary labels that are adequate :).

The only free ones I've gotten are around the holidays when they are soliciting donations. I use those for bills that I don't pay online but I'm looking for something nicer for personal correspondance. Any suggestions for any free cute ones?

Amber at inababycarriage.com has some really cute and classy designs. They're $4 per sheet of 30. I ordered a couple of sheets for the birth announcements, but haven't received them yet.

I didn't realize Amber had address labels also. I'll have to check them out.

Are you looking for something to use for the short-term, something specialized for a certain purpose or something for general, everyday use? The reason I ask is that if it were for something short-term or specific, I'd look into printing my own. You can buy predesigned sheets of labels in various sizes at Hallmark stores and the like. We did our Christmas ones this way using these snowman labels and Word. It was ridiculously easy.

We've actually ordered the general use kind from inserts in those weekly ad-mailers. Not expensive and not cheap looking.

I'm looking for something long-term. I printed my own for Christmas and they turned out horribly. It must have been cheap paper or something because I couldn't use half of them

Those general use ones from the weekly mailers is what I ordered last time. It was a complete waste of money. However, I've ordered them in the past and had better luck. I just wish I could remember the name of the good companies!

Hi Beth...I just ordered some labels from Current. I paid about $8 for 144 labels and they offer free shipping. I thought they had a lot of nice styles to choose from. I think I ended up ordering a monogrammed style with black and gold. How is J feeling today?

Gosh, I haven't thought about Current in ages! My mom used to order from them when I was little. I'm assuming they have a website?

Jared is feeling much better today. He spent much of yesterday sleeping and then actually coached his basketball game at your alma mater. I went to the JV game and the lady at the ticket table didn't believe me when I told her my husband coached for Rockford Christian. She literally looked me up and down (WITH MY PREGNANT BELLY), paused, and then said "Okay, I'll buy that." I thought that having a baby would help me look a little older, but I guess now I just look like a knocked-up teenager. I can't wait until my swelling goes down so I can wear my rings again!

Anyway, being at CL definitely made me think of you.
