laptop skin

I guess I'm back in kindg and it's time for Show & Tell. When I had my "old' Dell computer it came with a clear piece of plastic covering the top. I kept that on permanently, despite Jo's taunts and threats to remove it. When I bought my HP it was covered with a piece of protective plastic across the top. A piece of proctive plastic that was determined NOT to stay on. So began my quest for a "skin."

Office Max had printable ones, 3/pkg for $20. My mind started racking up the price of ink, paper jams, etc. I also wondered about the quality/weight of the plastic.

Pictured above is what I found and I LOVE IT!!!! I went to a site called www.skinit.com. There I was able to choose from a variety of backgrounds (I chose black) as the canvas for my masterpiece. I could have chosen from a variety of fonts and added words or even graphics. I decided not to. The downside.... $40

You can do one pic or as many as you want. I included wedding pics of Bill and I as well as Jo and Richard. There's Travers and his new car and even a family pic from MANY MANY years ago.

It arrived in 5 business days, regular ground delivery. It's a good, heavier weight vinyl. Easy to apply, it gives my laptop a classy, unique look when I'm traveling AND I get to show off my family!!!! A great conversation starter when you're around strangers. :-)

The holidays are a coming! If you decide to get one, call me for how-to-hints!
