Through Chatterbox I received for free a Scotch TL902 Thermal Laminator.  I was absolutely blown away with how easy it was to laminate a few items I want to keep for a lifetime.  The instructions to operate the laminator were very simple and easy to follow.  It didn't take long at all to heat up.  Once the machine was heated to the appropriate temperature the blue light came on.  I was able to easily put my son's artwork in the laminating pouch.  I inserted the pouch in the machine and then the machine did all the work.  IT came out smooth and sealed.  It is now perfect for keeping for a  lifetime.  I am so thankful to have this laminator to preserve memories!  I also used a laminator pouch to laminate a cherished recipe.  I now don't have to worry about dropping food on the recipe or the paper tearing up.  It makes it easier to keep and have on hand when I need it.
