One thing that’s come from not being able to spend money right now is that I’m a lot more resourceful. There are so many blogs that share free printables that can be used for parties, gifts, decor, charts, documents, etc. I love you all and your creativity. The only problem I have is that I’m not very tech savvy and even though I save something on the computer I might not be able to find it when I really want it. So I came up with a back-up plan using these supplies, that I of course, already had on hand (borrowed from my school supply tote).
Here are some of the printables I keep in the binder. I just slipped them into page protectors for easy access.

Clean Mama also has some free printables on her site you won’t want to miss. Just because she’s so nice! Love her!
If you know the origin of any of the printables or I have it wrong. Let me know, I’ll correct it.
To make the binder more presentable, I just cut scrapbook paper to size and slid it into the binder pocket.
Then I made a label from ribbon and a small tag for the spine of the binder. Now I can just flip through the binder to find the printable I want, cut it out and it’s ready to use. I have some other binders to show you later and some fun ways to decorate using the free printables.

Thanks for the shout out, Leanne! Binders make organizing so much fun, don’t they?
Love this! Great job Leanne!!
I really love all your great printables….I may need to start up something fun like that. Mostly I’ve been keeping everything I can on my computer cause I don’t really like all the paper stuff, but there is just some stuff I have to print up!
this is a great idea… I’ve made a list of sites, posts, etc… that I liked in case I want to go back and check them out, but this is a better idea!
Those are so great!
I’m going to have to print out the measurements one fore sure!!! I’m always googling that =D
