Ok, I admit it...I am obsessed with binding rings! Seriously, it might be a little bit unhealthy. When one of my co-workers opened a bag for samples this week, I practically demanded they "gimme gimme gimme" so I could hang them from my fingers, dig my hands into the bag and just wiggle my fingers around. It's weird, I know, and I own up to that. But don't knock it till ya try it! Aside from the fact that book rings are fun to play with, you can also do SOOO MUCH with them! Here are just some of the hundreds of fun ideas found on my Binding Ring Obsessed Pinterest board to get your imagination flowing.

I recently took my car to a local service shop for an oil change. After a pleasant experience in the waiting room with my "Chefs" magazine, I went to pay for the service. I was shocked to find that the paperwork they presented me with was completely unorganized and had footprints all over them. I also noticed that the merchant's copies were paper clipped together with my personal and payment information; I can only hope they would end up in a secured file cabinet. With identity theft being what it is today, and with my desire to have organized paperwork, (I am not OCD, I swear!) I was clearly unhappy with the result...especially when there is a simple and inexpensive solution.
