I just came up with my OWN original hybrid craft and I am sooooooooo tickled with it because it is just so darn useful!!

Do you find yourself making lists? Do you make the same lists over and over again? I do...and came up with this hybrid craft.

It's 3.5x7", laminated (with cardboard in-between for stability), and spiral bound. I can write on it with a sharpie marker, flipping through the pages and adding to my lists as things come up that I need to bring to events... and they won't smear. I just use a white eraser to remove the marker after the event is over.

I love it!

Just look at the picture and push the arrow above the page to see all the pages I made with all different kinds of kits! There are 12 pages to write on.

I hope you like it!

Very cool! I'm definitely going to have to make something similar for myself! Thanks for the inspiration!

Sharon, this is a wonderful idea! :thumbup:

Can I ask if you did the Spiral Binding yourself OR did you have it done somewhere else?

I used a Bind-it-All and did it myself! I knew I would get use out of it. I've made a desk calendar for my dh, a wall calendar, and now this TO DO list!! I'm also going to make myself a small little book for my purse!

Fab idea - so useful!

I am thinking of getting a bind-it-all but am a bit worried about the start up cost etc. Can I ask do you use yours much, and how much do you love it?

Wow Sharon - this is amazing, what a GREAT idea!! I could really do with one of these, my to-do lists are always on scrappy bits of paper that I lose... :rolleyes:

I have been so busy with robotics that I haven't used it as much as I have had plans for. lol I'm technically NEW to hybrid...but I have a bunch of ideas of ways to use that machine!

I've made this project, a desk calendar for my dh (I just realized I never posted it!), and a wall calendar for myself.

I bought mine at Archivers with a coupon...however Hobby Lobby has it and would have been cheaper with their coupon...but back when I bought it (November/December?) Hobby Lobby only had the blue (old version).

Thanks so much for your reply....
After doing a Google Search I found some info on Bind-it-All....
Can I ask if this is a "Good Deal"? Bind it All Bundle (http://www.bonniesbest.com/bind-it-all.htm)

That does look like a good deal. I'd make sure you would be apt to use all those items...kinda preplan how you would use them. Just as a note...the blue bind-it-all is the OLD model...the new one has a few more features the other one doesn't...including punching through a bit heavier materials...and it has a guide on it (I think that part is new) to help you continually punch in a row longer projects. If you go to the home page for bind-it-all they have a link that will tell you the new features...then you can compare.
