My Dh and I are learning to use the Getting Things Done system for our home business and personal biz, and this organizer would be perfect for the home management binder we are working on.
I would love to have one of these for organizing my Christmas ideas and projects!
I would love to have a whole set of these! I like to organize my patterns to ones that I’m going to work on next and ones that I want to do for a upcoming holiday, etc. Would also be great for my paper crafting projects. Lots of room to store my printed graphics and odds and ends. And would be helpful to organize my stash of coupons!
I would use it to organize my coupons
I currently use both a binder and file folder. It would be great to have a 2 in 1! Would make thing much easier. I use the binder for organizing coupons, sleeves with my daughters Ballet Class calanders. The file folders are great for organizing bills, recipes and any other personal documents. Having one of these would make things so much easier for this mother of 3!
I would love to use these in our RV. We save all the information from the different campgrounds that we go to and this would be a great way to organize and leave them in the RV.
I love keeping papers organized, and would use these products to keep my library programs organized, from Tiny Tots to adult crafts night. From planning to promotional fliers, lists to evaluations could be sectionalized.
I would you the binder to have sketches of cards to make and then file them when finished.
I’d use this to organize my schoolwork… primarily my research!
This would be great for organizing my sewing projects. I keep a notebook with fabric requirements and sketches and a magazine file box with templates and pattern pieces. The Duo Binder would bring it all together perfectly!
I am purchasing a quilt shop and this would sure come in handy to organize some paperwork.
This would be great to organize recipes.

Love to organize all the bills and such!
I can think of at least uses for five folders-crafts, recipes, genealogy, photos, and crochet patterns! Great idea
Winning this would be so timely. I am in the middle of re-organizing my craft supplies. This binder would come in handy for small supplies, the coupons I have and other things. Thank you!
I would love it, to help organize my crafts/scrapbooking projects.
I would love to use this instead of a card stock folder to organize my WIP crochet patterns and craft instructions.
I’m not very good at organizing, so I can use all the help I can get! I design knitting patterns so I would use this to organize all of my notes and supplies.
WOW – this is exactly what I need for teaching paper arts and rubberstamping classes. I have project sheets, my personal notes, spreadsheets for cost of materials, etc. –perfect for the 3-ring binder. Then there are pre-cut cardstock, decorative papers, various pre-stamped and digi printed images and greetings, stickers, poetry, quotes; templates, trims, small embellishments, pre-cut ribbon, table tents and sample cards. After a class I keep all of the materials together for future classes or personal use without having to re-assemble all of the components. Currently I use hanging file folders and things “fall out the sides”. Some projects are in Project Envelopes but corners get bent on the full-sized pages and other components get all mixed together.
For my bills, coupons, ideas from magaaines.
Oh my what a great way to keep up and organize all my projects. I would love to win this to get my act together and know where my stuff is when I need it. Between my volunteering, working, family, crafts…WOW what a neat idea and beautiful to add.
I am thinking several one for my sewing, one for my daycare papers, someone had a great idea with this
This would be perfect for holding my design ideas and inspirations. Everything could be kept in one very secure place instead of notes in one binder and inspirational pictures in a separate folder.

I’d use it to organize my bills!

I would love to use it to organize my knitting patterns. I could keep some of the accessories in the pockets.
I would use it to be more organized with my teaching materials/ I tutor students in ELA and writing, each student is at a different stage and has unique skills they are working on. Which means a lot of papers and supplies for me to carry back and forth!
I want to start a blog just for fun I would use it to organize. Looks great. Thanks for the opportunity.
I think that it would be great to both organize the tutorials that I print and work as a sketchbook for my own designs.
I am in the middle of my business plan to start my own business. I know that the Duo Binder would enable me to be organized. The fact that there is a binder on one side for notes, SBA class handouts and more. I noticed on the video that the other side has wonderful slots for the file that I need to take with me when I am traveling. The combination is a brilliant idea for almost anyone needing organization, especially a small home-based business when they go to see clients.
I would use one for my bills, Another to organize all the recipes I pull out of magazines and another for the craft ideas, knitting patterns from magazines. It seems like I will need many!!
This would be perfect to put all my printed tutorials in!!
This would be great for my classes. I have separate binders for the classes I teach and the ones I take. I could combine them.
Ohmygosh! I need one of these for my yearly paperwork for disability. I have to go to several agencies once a year, with a ton of paperwork, and right now, I have to dig through a lower kitchen cabinet, filled with the last several years of papers, to dig out what I need. This would really organize me and I like having the ring of plain paper for notes. It would be great!
I am starting a home based craft business and this would be fantastic for keeping track of my orders and shipments. Thank you for this giveaway.
I would love to win one to keep all of income tax information in one place.
It would be a great place to store my knitting patterns .
I would love one of these binders….or several. I could use one to organize my sewing class materials, I could use another to organize my personal sewing projects, knitting projects, gardening projects and my daughter’s college search plans and paperwork. If only it could give me more hours in a day to complete all those projects — sigh.
I work from home and this would make my organization a lot easier
I would love to have a one-stop place to keep track of my quilting and crafting ideas. Having them all together in one place that would be easy to take with me would be great.

Wow. I could sure use one of these for my Friday morning charity crafting group’s clerical details – between tracking handmade projects the girls turn in for the needy, setting up distribution of finished items to their destinations, and a zillion other notes and details, having it all in one spot would be a treat.
I would love this to organize all our household paperwork!
This would be a fantastic holder for my tax information. I could keep a ledger type thing in the notebook and receipts that are needed for the IRS in the other part. Boy, but I hope I win one of these.

I would love to have a Duo Binder to sort my craft print-outs into! Those are great prints and colors…..Jill

I have never seen one of these before. I already have a bill paying system set up with a 3 ring binder. this would be even better. When the bills come in they could go right into the accordion

Ideal to help organize my stuff. Starting with recipes I collect, scrapbooking projects and the like. Awesome!
I need to find some way of organizing my craft patterns.
I’d give it to my daughter to keep her school papers neat.
Wow! I could use it to file my digi scrapping receipts when I buy CU products, I could keep track of my sales, and another file could be log-in info that I am always forgetting! I could take notes about things I have to get done in the digi world and ideas I have for upcoming kits!! Thanks for the chance!!
my wife would use it for organizing her craft projects!
This is such a neat product. I would use it to collect all my crafting ideas and they would be organized and easier to find then having it all in one folder!

I would use it to organize all the knit & crochet patterns, that I print from the internet.
The expandable one I could put my embroidery pattern list in and the loose leaf one I would use for shopping to check prices as I am going down the isles. To make sure I don’t go over my budget.
I could really use this in my craft room but think my husband could put it to better use by organizing his bills, etc. that he has scattered all over his desk. He needs organization for sure
Thank you

I am the very busy, very unorganized mother of five children. I have one severely Autistic son, one with Asbergers and another with ADHD. My New Years resolution is to become more organized by keeping each child’s adaptive behavior modifiers in order, I am usually carrying around my pecs board (pictures my son uses to communicate his needs) in my purse the problem is that all the little Velcro backed pictures fall off right to the bottom of my purse.I am desperate to find a case the can keep all his pics, his boards, Velcro, travel lament etc. in a durable easy to access location that can travel with me
