I already had a regular stapler, but I wanted a stapler I could take with me wherever I went, wasn't bulky and did the job and that is exactly what this Making Memories Stapler is for me. This is a main item I take to all crops, make and takes and classes because it is small, comes with multiple colored staples and is perfect for small, quick projects like cards, paper bag albums, smaller albums and stapling close to the edge of a 12x12 lo. I can whip it out whenever I need it and because it is so small I can pack it anywhere and the staple box is also so thin I can slide the multiple colored staples into any pocket in my crop bag!
