I am wondering that too. OH suggested buying one to bind the calendars we make but I don't think it would work for that. am very tempted though...

Sunrise and bunbun2 it would depends on what you would use it for, I would make a lot of minibooks and use the bind it all for those. I cant see why it would not work on calenders

thanks irishgirl. it would work to bind the calendars but not sure about hanging them up and turning the pages. I have a notebook made with a bind it all so will have a practice and see if tying a ribbon would work. I think the notebooks made with the bind it all look fab.

Irishgirl, they are gorgeous!
How much are BIA 's and where is the best place to get one?

sethsgran - love the cubes............think I'd love them just as they are with the images on them.

irishgirl - love your notebooks.............haven't got one of those BIA things........are they expensive ?

Had every intention of having a go at one of those 'soft trees' but instead I got all grandaughters birthday and christmas stuff out to sort out whats for which box...........seemed to take an age........then I found a purse and really ought to pop her cheque in there before I get the ribbon and tie it all up..........got her a jewellry box but so far haven;t put anything in it.........might have something laying around upstairs.
Made a start on grandsons birthday/christmas stuff as well...........might finish off that tomorrow............ooops...no I won't -going into town tomorrow for some ribbon and robins (hopefully) so I can get them done.

I am not sure I bought mine from the usa when the exchange rate was good it is about £50 for the new pink one that can cut through thicker boards I dont know how much the standard blue one is nowdays
butterfly what about looking in charity shops for kids wooden blocks?
