I bet most of your customers will agree–it’s tough to find the time to get organized. Well I’ve got great news! Our love of paper crafting can help us with our need for organization. How is this possible? With my latest addiction: Small sarabinders™.

While I absolutely love the whole line of sarabinders™, I especially love the small size–they fit so easily into my “mommy-sized” purse (not to mention briefcases and backpacks)! The heavy-duty cover of a small sarabinder™ is so much fun to paint or ink, cover with paper and accent with embellishments, then fill with inserts to create a unique organizer of any type. From address books and planners to notebooks and mini scrapbooks, I love that I can customize my binder to fit my life–it can be whatever I want it to be!

I also love the special bonus included with each small sarabinder™: An elastic strap to help the binder stay closed. There’s an eyelet on the back cover of each small binder with a black elastic cord running through it. You can wrap the elastic cord around the opening edge of the binder, or wrap it horizontally around the center of the binder to ensure that all your lists and notes stay safe and secure inside.

Small sarabinders™ mean freedom and options. I like that I can create a very simple sarabinder™ in just minutes, or spend more time to add personality and style to my binder with extra details. Another bonus? sarabinders™ make wonderful personalized gifts! Use them to create a brag book for Grandma and Grandpa, a sketchbook or journal for the artist in your life, a family recipe book for your loved ones–the creative possibilities are endless!
