It's time.
I've purposefully avoided looking into buying a book binding system for the past year; for one, that whole real estate thing, and second, all the focus centered upon creating LOs, not books.
Between the two brands, I know practically nothing other than the Zutter punches rectangles and the Cinch round holes. The Zutter takes less table/shelf space than the competitor. I also know the Cinch offers a wide variety of punched pattern capabilities; a variable not known for Zutter.
So back and forth until either a sign happens in the heavens, or I collect enough information to make an educated decision.

It would be wonderful to say the shelving unit my husband put up the other day proves a real improvement to crafting. Alas, no. The punch issue was immediately ruled out. I've collected a whole bunch of items largely misfiled, and filled up seven of the eight shelves. It's a very pretty arrangement... lots of bright colours and sparklies. However, while it must appear visually pleasing, it also must improve everyday function. That it does not... yet. There's also a real danger in moving tools around. Everything has its place, and when moved to a new location can put me into a search frenzy.

While digging through the closet last night, searching for a torn notebook binder, I found a large box filled with electronic cables under several layers of crafting materials. Martin leapt for joy; he'd looked for the box for over a year, thinking it in the garage. I gained 3 cubic feet of shelf space!

Tomorrow's sale includes 75% of embellishments. That covers a whole lot of ground. Fun, fun, fun!
