I label everything with pictures that I allow the students to access. Other items are labeled with just words to help me remember where I tucked things away.
I decided to try making my own labels and I think they turned out pretty good considering I have a $50 lexmark printer - at least they don't look too handmade.. (you know what I mean!) I used cotton printer fabric paper and photo shop. I feel like quite the accomplished graphic designer these days, maybe I should open my own Etsy shop? >:)

Lovely graphic with an Art Moderne sensibilty. This airline was long gone by the time I traveled to Sri Lanka in 2006.
According to Wikipedia,
"Air Ceylon was established in 1947 as state-owned flag carrier airline, initially operating scheduled domestic flights using Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft."
"International services with Douglas DC-4s commenced in 1949, in a co-operation with Australian National Airways (ANA), which acquired a 49 percent stake in Air Ceylon. The longest route flown at that time was to London Heathrow airport."
"The partnership with ANA lasted until 1953, when it was replaced by new international co-operations. in 1956 with KLM, which included the lease of 2 Lockheed Constellation airliners for long-haul flights, and with BOAC in 1962, allowing the re-launch of flights to London using the de Havilland Comet."
"From the mid-1960s, the Hawker Siddeley HS 748 became the aircraft mainly used on Air Ceylon's short-haul routes, along with the Aérospatiale N 262."
"When Bandaranaike International Airport was completed in 1967, Air Ceylon opened its hub there. A Hawker Siddeley Trident jet airliner was purchased in 1969 and it was operated on regional routes until it was withdrawn in July 1978."
"In 1972, Union de Transports Aériens (UTA) became Air Ceylon's partner, introducing French-made aircraft into the fleet. UTA ended the partnership on 31 March 1977, leaving Air Ceylon without a European aide."
"In 1978, Air Ceylon was shut down by the Sri Lankan government due to bankruptcy, and Air Lanka was established as new national carrier."
