Re: Collecting - other than plants

Yes, over time I do use most of it.  The binding machine has been very
useful. Since 1996 I have made CDs of Christmas music (one year Irish music)
for friends and family.  I make a booklet with all the lyrics.  For MGs -
Every year I make a book containing the display gardens plant list which can
run to 80-100 pages one sided.  And one year I wrote a 78 page cross
reference of common and botanical names.  I have given presentations for
which I bind the info into booklets too.  The book stapler for booklets not
bound.   The stationery and laminator are  great for making signs.  I
collected wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too many business cards so mow I print
my plant tags on the backs of them rather than buy more cardstock.  The
various types of paper are all hnady for different projects.
