You can think I am strange if you like, but I will freely admit I love binders and am always looking for excuses to buy more binders. It doesn’t matter the size or the color, I want them all!

I’m a bit of an organizing freak… I cannot walk down an aisle at any store that has containers, binders, or bins without being tempted to put at least one item in my cart. I have so many of these items that are sitting empty at home that I am always looking for more ways to use them. After all, if I have a reason to use them, I have an excuse to  buy more.

 
Once I started searching for ideas, I was truly inspired by the variety of ideas I found. There are people using them to help plan things, organize thing, and entertain thing… Um, I mean kids…

I found so many amazing ideas I think I will plan a shopping trip just for the purpose of buying more binders. Who’s with me???
