mamato4girls Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Okay, I have totally lost it, I am EXCITED about comb binding. I knew this existed, but didn't realize you could have it done yourself. I got so fed up with spending so much $$ on homeschool planner/lesson/grade book's that still were not the "right fit", so I printed some forms from DonnaYoung.org and dowloaded (well worth the $4.50) a ton of forms from this website, http://www.themasterplanner.com/ and had my husband make copies at work. Then today I took them all in their organized stacks, and had them comb-binded (don't think that is a word) at Kinko's. I had even printed cover sheets for front and back, and Kinko's did the plastic front and back cover. I did 5 planners total- a huge one for me, 1 for each of my older 3 kids, and a household binder- $30. YEAH! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I used to have a comb binder. My husband took it to work to bind some stuff and lost it. :crying: (I may have to send him to Kinkos to have some binding done for our new school year.)

ereks mom Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ...I knew this existed, but didn't realize you could have it done yourself... Dh bought one for his office at work, but it wasn't heavy-duty enough for what they were doing, so I inherited it (it's plenty heavy-duty for me!) and they bought a bigger one. I've used it quite a bit. It's easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyP Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just this week I bound schedules and lesson plans for my older two. I'm working more this semester and taking a couple of classes myself, so I'm trying to encourage more independence. I had to wipe the dust off my binder first :o ...it hadn't been used in a while.

MamaT Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 My dh brought his comb binder from his store (shipping/copy/print stores) and let me bind to my heart's content! I love this perk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I bought one on ebay and the seller was local so I paid no shipping!! It was a sad sight seeing me hugging that comb binding machine like a baby. Sad, sad, sad. So I completely understand your excitement.

mom4him Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I just bought a ProClick and I am enjoying it. I had a comb binder but didn't like it so much. It didn't let the book fold back and the ProClick does. The ProClick doesn't have as big of combs as the comb binders do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaik76 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I love my comb binder!!! (My kids love it too...they love to punch the holes before I bind stuff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Mac Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I hear ya! Let's not tempt them with the ProClick.... hee hee... I LOVE mine... so easy to rearrange pages! I *love* mine too. It's a recent addition to the household and the kids (especially the youngest) just love to zip and unzip the binding. I'm hoping that particular fascination will wear off before they wear out the zipper tool :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
