Found Out I Love...

THE CINCH!!

A wonderful person named RoseMary sent me a Cinch some time ago and I haven't had a chance to use it until last night. I have been working diligently on finishing up some recipe books I started 3 years ago. Here is a link to pages, not the whole book, I finished way back when - RECIPE BOOK. I had decided I was going to finish these up for prizes for my party this year or just cancel the party! *okie knows she is exaggerating a little*.

These books are truly a labor of love. There are 15 recipes in the book, all are some of my favorites. I won't post other pictures until after my party so my guests don't see what they look like until the night of the party.

Oh but back to the Cinch. It is so super simple to use! I have used the Bind It All and while I love it, I had no idea how Super Simple the Cinch would be to use! The directions are all printed on the machine so no need to go look for the directions when I want to use it. It cut through the chipboard like butter and the only mistake that was made was because I wasn't paying attention *okie thinks "dang that David Letterman anyway"* and didn't have a page slide all the way in. Thanks to some Undu it was a fairly simple fix.

If you don't have a binding machine and are considering one I would HIGHLY recommend the Cinch!

  1. I KNOW!!! I LOVE my Cinch too! I started with the other binding tool, but the Cinch is such a cinch to use...hahah...and cuts great! I used it for my mini album and it cut through the acrylic sheets beautifully! YAY!

  2. I checked out the recipe page post from 2008-----you better have your bacon so you can make those crackers again this year! They're the bomb!

    Guess I'll find out after Christmas just how easy a Cinch is to use. Hope Fred wraps mine up really pretty for me to open on Christmas Eve!

  6. Does anyone have an outlet that sells the Cinch for a reasonable price? The cheapest I have found it as around a hundred dollars. Thanks!

  7. Thanks Okie

    I have been debating on the Cinch or the Bind it all. I have heard from people who love one or the other, but have heard more positive comments about the Cinch. This will be great when trying to make gift items.
