Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: many home-made labels, 0 by shortleaf

A lady at work told me of this recently, and I couldn't believe I never thought of it.
White Mini-blinds cut into labels. If one doesn't have them extra, they are less than $5 apiece at Wal-Mart.
She is a Master Gardener. She is always volunteering as part of getting to be a Master Gardener. She recently got her Master Gardener-ship. She says one of the organizations that she volunteers called I.C.A.N. will take all my plants, which is good. This organization is about mentally challenged, A.D.D., Autistic and other disabled people doing things. That sounds like a good place for my trees to go to. I just told her I'd like to know where they are planted at.
She mentioned some being used as memorial trees, which I thought was really neat too.
Anyhow, she says that you can write on them with a black Sharpie or other black marker and it never comes off.
I recently replaced a bunch of them in my mobile home. I had them just sitting on the floor there for months, I didn't know what to do with them. Then she said that and it was like a light went off! I gave her one of the mini-blinds, I have 3 left. Now I know what to do with them!
This might only be a new revelation to me, others might already have known of this.
