Hello all, 

Here is an email I found on another list. It offers an interesting method of 
using the labels created by the Pen Friend. 

I do not use the Pen Friend myself, but for those who do, this looks like a 
good tip.

Every now and again I receive stuff through the post which have magnetic strips 
on them so you can affix them to your fridge. 

One day it occurred to me that these magnetic strips could be used in 
conjunction with pen friend labels to label anything that was made of metal. 
The one problem with the labels is that with disposable items in order to reuse 
the label you obviously have to peel it off and re attach to something else 
which you can only do a few times. As the majority of us have many tins and 
jars in our cupboards this would require a large number of expensive labels. 

I looked on Amazon and bought the following reel for just £3.99.
Magnetic Craft Self-Adhesive Magnet Strip - 12.75mm x 3 meter roll. 

All you need to do is cut off a small section with a pair of scissors. Stick a 
pen friend label to it and then pop it onto a tin or jar lid and it will stick 
magnetically. You then just record what the item is as normal. When you come to 
open the item just take off the magnetic strip and put it onto another tin or 
jar or whatever it is you want to label, then Record a new message for that 
item. Using this method the pen friend labels will last for a considerably long 
time. I have a little plastic container with loads of little strips with pen 
friend labels stuck to them so when I get some new tins or jars I just get one 
out and pop it onto the item in question.
