Goodbye Static Electricity!

Why does it always happen that I get so busy that I run out of time to post on my blog?  I feel so bad that it has been so long---AGAIN!  But, here I am apologizing and wishing I had done a better job of keeping up.  I am going to try my darndest to keep going and be more consistent.  I always have the best intentions--I promise!

Anyway, the reason for this blog is to share with you what I feel like is a very important tip!  Get ready, because I feel like this has changed my life (well, not really, but it is still good to know info)!

Here is Helpful Hint #367:
Ever have a terrible time cutting out lamination because of static electricity?  Especially in the winter time--oh my goodness!  That stuff is everwhere, and my husband finds it all over the house. Honestly, I think it's worse than finding Christmas tree needles on the floor in the house 6 months after Christmas! 
I was racking my brain trying to think about how I could stop the static.  I tried rubbing dryer sheets all over my scissors and lamination, but that proved to be a ditch effort.  So, I was in Target one day, on the laundry aisle, and I spotted a can of Static Guard.  I thought to myself, oh well, why not try it and see what happens?  Well, lo and behold, it worked like a charm! All you have to do is lightly spray over the front and back side of your lamination AND the scissors.  It works great!

Check out the pic, just so you can see what the can looks like.



By the way, isn't that a super cute leprechaun 10 frame game?  Got it as a freebie on TPT!

So long for now--let me know if you have any other great ideas for getting the  static out of the lamination.  For now, for me, it's Static Guard to the rescue!
