Last spring someone at work pitched out this metal file sorter. Not a thing wrong with it except that it was boring and ugly. Brought it home over the summer and added some chocolate papers and embelles. It now sits on my desk and holds all those papers, books, and clipboards that used to be in a pile. Also clearly lets the kids know who it belongs to! Since it's metal, I added some sweet spot magnets to hold down notes and photos. My cropadile did a great job punching the wholes for the ribbons but made so much noise my stamping room sounded like a shooting range! Poor pooch didn't come back to the room for a bit!

Very crafty of you...good idea. I have one of these and yes they're pretty ugly. Not yours anymore! Love the magnets idea...I might be able to get away with that part at work.
This turned out great, and you know it, I just had to have one too!
