Don't judge.

A few weeks ago, I asked ya'll how you organize your stash of Pyrex on paper.  Then I showed you my ridiculously obsessive little notebook.  Well...I took it a step further.  I wanted something I could add pages to as my collection grows, but yet still keep it organized by color or pattern.  I also wanted to be able to move things around if I needed to.  And of course I had to make it pretty because...well just because. 

The covers are foam board, card stock for the pages, and $.06 prints from Ritz.

Instead of being glued or taped in, I used little photo corners so I can move the photos around if necessary.  I used different colored card stock for the tags, which can be repositioned as well.  It's just enough room for all the pertinent info.  As my collection grows, I can always add pages and use larger binder rings.






I have lots of leftover materials so I'd be happy to put some together if anyone is interested.  Yep, I bet you were totally making fun of my nerdyness until you thought of having one of your own!

    You totally rock! I could so imagine organizing my Pyrex this way, and it would be a good things since right now I couldn't even tell you what I have in the garage. I made a list once, but it is woefully behind.

    Wow! I wish I could make my brain be this organized! I think in wavy lines with twists and turns, never so straight. It looks amazing! Your pictures are great also! I am just in awe! Good job!

    AWESOME!! I love your collection. I only have a few pieces but am getting the buy to start collecting more! I have a nice collection of the "blue cornflower" design. How much for a book like yours?

    That really is a great idea, I haven't been collecting for very long and already I'm forgetting which pieces I have and which lids I'm looking for etc..

    I have an excell sheet full of Pyrex.....I have a Pyrex book full of Post-its....I thought I was baaaad.

    I'm sorry, I'm judging! You have a bigger case of Pyrexia than I have!

    OMG get in a car right now and get some pills...oh sorry they don't make pills for that.

    So just go on your merry way and keep thrifting, hunting and cataloguing that beuatiful Pyrex! :)

    Thanks for your sweet comments! This was a fun project and I'm glad I finally found a system that works and looks good too. For those of you that asked, I added up all the materials and time to figure out a cost. For a book with the same size rings as mine, you can fit roughly 75-80 photos. Of course we could always add more or less. It would come ready to go with the white dots for the prices, the photo corners already on the pages, and you can tell me what colors you have in your collection for the tags. So I figured for that size, the price would be $24. Email me at paisleyandpolkadot@gmail.com if you think you might be interested and we can work it out!!
