Silly me forgot to do the math of 45 labels divided by 3 to do 15 pages....for some reason I got it into my mind that I had to do 45 pages!! Argh! I print off 90 labels too many!! Most people would have figured this out after printing....did I? No. Those who didn't figure it out after printing would have surely figured it out during cutting...did I? Nooooo. I was happily watching the Bourne Supremacy, cutting all 135 labels, all 270 cuts. It only occurred to me during taping them together that I had printed off WAY too many. At least I didn't tape all 135. Luckily, it's not much of a loss, which I'm taking out of my half of the profits and won't affect the donation amount, but I know that somewhere my third grade teacher is tsking me and getting out her big red marker to put a big fat F on my forehead.
Feel free to laugh and oogle over these pictures....anyone want to buy 90 limited edition Blue Hands Fibers Sock Club labels.....who knows, as my mother in law says, they could become valuable like misprinted stamps. :) I know, I'm stretching :)
See the nice big fat stack of misprints? Yep yep, there's the proof I'm gud at maff.

hugs* it's hard to remember some times that knitters and math don't always go together. :)
Can you just use sticky mailing labels to put the name of a different colorway on the labels you've cut and printed? It probably won't look quite as nice, but I know I wouldn't mind and am guessing many other sock club purchasers wouldn't care either.
I'm seconding nanni on her idea. I certainly wouldn't mind if you recycled.
Lol, i have so done things like that before! Bummer. (but at least they got done!
