Ode to Owire

Oh Owire!

Without you I could not create,
mini books of all sizes and weight.
In colors that go with any ink,
be it black, red, white, baby blue or baby pink!
And now in the beautiful new shades you will seek,
the colors called silver and brass "antique"!
In sizes small enough for the miniest of minis,
and those for the bigger books that are not so skinny.

Make sure you have plenty of Owire on hand,
for you Bind-it-All fans across this great land!

Leave me a rhyming comment or two,
and you shall win a box of Owire shipped to you!
It might be 3/8", 1" or any size,
Any color too, it will be a surprise.
Just release your inner poet in a scrappy Bind-it-All way,
and you will get a goodie in the mailbox one day.

Three winners will be drawn on a day of fate,
check if you have won on February 28.
footnote: because i am teaching scrappy classes that day very late,
i won't post winners until after 8 (PM, PST)!

  2. A chance for a prize?
    I will give it a shot.
    This one chance,
    is the best that I've got!

    Owires so shiny,
    with color anew.
    I could think of so much
    that I could do!

    Pick me
    Pick me
    and a happy scrapper
    you will see!

  3. I am new to this little wonder,
    Just got it last week you see.
    Oh how amazing it is,
    Chock full of ways to express my creativity.

    Whether I make a journal,
    or brag book to carry.
    I have no doubt,
    This is a creation from a fairy.

    I love my Bind-It-All
    And I always will.
    It is the best part of my studio fill!

    So thank you for this chance,
    I sure hope that I win.
    But if you choose another,
    I will continue to use my new toy,
    until the very end!

  5. I am saving up to get my Bind-It-All,
    Really want to have a ball.
    Can't wait for the day
    When I will get to play!
    Right now money is tight,
    But soon it will be all right!!

    I would love to create
    Things I make would be great!
    Don't know how long I can wait! :-)

  8. Great poetry, ladies! Good luck to all of you!

  9. Thank you to my
    Bind-It-All
    and now I must admit
    I'm having such a great time
    with the Owire that fits

    On the spine of my books
    to bind cover to page
    and page to the next
    from beginning to end
    from title to text

    Now Owire I have
    in white and black
    black and white
    but I've longed for silver
    and gold, oh how right

    On my lovely little books
    that the Owire helps me make
    so right here, right now let me clearly state
    that new Owires are the best
    Can you all relate?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Does your heart flutter
    when you hear Zutter?
    Oh what can I make...
    I luv to create....
    An O wire here
    An O wire there
    I use 'em a lot
    Give 'em a shot
    Big and small
    I got 'em all
    YOU planted the seed
    It's the color's I NEED

    Thanks for the fu!

  11. The Bind It All is really cool!
    An in genious little scrapping tool!
    I'd love to try
    yes I would!
    Please choose me, If you could!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I could write a poem, in just a little time
    (Well maybe longer, if it has to rhyme!)

    But I'd rather be a playin', with my Bind-It-All.
    Alas, I have no Owires, I used them up last fall!

    So, hurry up, be quick, please send some more to me!
    The best thing of all? You can send them to me free!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I just got my bind-it-all
    I can't wait to play!
    I can create a book for fall
    or use all the color gray!

    This free gift would be just great
    I hope it's me so I can create!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh what a fun contest,
    but I can't play, you see.
    It wouldn't be right...
    'cause I'm on the DT.
    But I did want to comment and say what creative, cool fun!
    and encourage all to play,
    because you could be the one!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I too have joined the fun
    My bind it all is my favorite one
    I would cry and cry if I ran out of owires
    My creations wouldn't be done
    So more options would be fantastic
    And some free would make me ecstatic.

    A poet, no
    A crafter, yes....
    please have mercy
    and pick me, pick me, pick me!

  16. The holes in this paper
    don't detract

    but react

    as the paper turns her face
    to greet cover, meet wire.

    Paper becomes page
    orbiting not imaginary axis
    but spine.

  17. Minibooks with baby blue o-rings in half inch,
    Recipe albums bound together is a cinch,
    A mini album, made fit for kings,
    I can make these all with my favourite o-rings.

    Black, white, brown, antique silver and brass,
    Blue, pink, silver, red… what more could we ask,
    O-Rings come in sizes for all sorts of things,
    If only I had some new favourite o-rings…

    When I punch it, when I bind it,
    When I’m designing something rad…
    I simply use my new favourite o-rings
    And then I will be so glad!

  18. A special gift from you
    would be like going to the zoo

    I would flutter and flutter
    and return to my zutter

    for some owire fun while contemplating- I won!

    ReplyDelete
  19. hehehe...so cute everyone...

    I look around my scraproom in order to play
    and much to my dismay
    notice an empty spot except for my cat
    where my Zutter once sat.

    My heart is sad
    but my friend must be glad
    because she borrowed my Zutter toy
    and never returned it... OY!!!!!

  22. I need those wires!
    How can I express
    The extent of my desire,
    The judges to impress?

    I need more BIA stuff!
    Here is my plight:
    I simply can't get enough,
    'Cause I want to bind everything in sight!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Owires are neat.
    Owires are dandy.
    Owires lead to great scrapbooking eye candy.

    Were I to win,
    I would hold a big bash.
    Because then I could add more Zutter stuff to my stash.

  24. Without my Owires, I would be lost....All my book pages would fall out!

    So as you can see, I need these please...My books are useless without them you see.

    ReplyDelete
  25. How exciting a new color I see,
    So much I can create if you decide to pick me.

    I ♥ creating mini albums the most,
    Just hoping when I turn my computer
    on my name will be on that winning
    post.

    I ♥ my PINK Bind-It-All and can't live without,
    If I win those OWires, I will do more than just SHOUT!!!!!

  28. Oh Zutter,
    My Zutter,
    O how I love thee

    Without all your O-wires
    My books would not be.

    Every color delights
    And now something new?
    Oh Zutter,
    My Zutter,
    Oh how I love you.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This may not be easy but here it goes:

    I have only one type
    Of O-wires you see,
    It would be so pleasant
    If you sent some to me!

    That wasn't really as hard as I thought it would be!

  31. I bought the machine because I had to have it,
    and on the shelf for a year it did sit.
    One crazy day I got reinspired,
    just by looking at the box of Owire.
    I've made several books and want to make more,
    unfortunately I ran out supplies and didn't go straight to the store.
    I bought more supplies so that I can play,
    but unfortunately I must save that for another day.
    The laundry is piled high and the scrap room a mess...
    Where oh where did I put those owire's is anyones guess!

    Ok...so it's kinda corny, but it was fun,
    now I must wait to the 28th to see if I've won!

    ReplyDelete
  32. An Owire RAK, now who thought of that?
    Wouldn't it be grand if we had every size on hand?
    Whether I needed small or large or anything in between,
    It really wouldn't matter, for to my Owire stash I would dash, and return with an Owire perfect for my craft, now wouldn't that just make you laugh?!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Owire is good, Owire is great -
    Without Owire I couldn't create.
    Oh, the wonderful things
    I make with the rings...
    called Owire.

    Seriously, I LOVE my Bind It All. Recently I used it to repair a graphic comic that had pages falling out. Now it lays open and no more loose pages.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Owires are red.
    Owires are blue.
    Prizes are sweet,
    And so are you!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I've used my owire
    on many projects that inspire.
    To have more on hand
    would be better than grand.
    So please pick my name
    and I'll make more of the same.
    Thanks!

  39. O-wires, O-wires where are you now?
    I'm longing for you and must have you some how.

    Are you willing to leave your home far away?
    And stay by my side in darkness and day?

    I can't live without you and I'm lost when you're gone.
    It's sadness I feel from dusk until dawn.

    Please say you'll come and leave me never.
    O-wires, O-wires, I'll love you forever!

    (Sniff-sniff, I need a tissue, it's beacuse of you, I'm having this issue!)

  58. Binding journals and cute little books
    Even the recipes of many great cooks
    My obsession runs deep and oh so very wide
    My desire for Owire never to subside

    Zutter created this tool of my dreams
    My Bind-It-All joins paper by the reams
    But it's those fabulous shiny Owires
    That tops the list of my heart's desires.

    Please won't you grant my crazy need?
    Award me those Owires, with passion I plead.
    More journals and books need to be made
    And my local craft store I won't have to raid.

    LOL
    Thanks for the chance!
    Peace & Love,

  59. Oh O-wires, you are great
    You help me to create
    Books to give and some to keep
    So my photos aren't in a heap.

    O-wires, I always need more of you
    The bigger, the better too.
    My projects aren't often skinny
    Even if the albums are named "mini".
    Maybe I should work on making my books thinner
    Thanks so much for a chance to be the winner.

  62. Finally bought
    one of my own.
    So excited
    To take it home.

    No more borrowing
    for me since fall,
    I have my very own
    bind-it-all.

    So many projects
    now to make,
    A gift of Owires
    would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I could not wait
    my husband did not take the bait
    I bought it myself
    cleared off a home for it on an empty shelf
    I love my bind-it-all
    I need the wires, I need them all!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Could I possibly be the one?
    To win some o-wire... Oh what fun!
    I'll check the blog every day
    I'll hope to see the message say
    "Erin, my friend, you are the winner
    And BTW, you look so much thinner!
    A gift of o-wire is coming to you,
    We can't wait to see just what you'll do!"

    ReplyDelete
  65. This will be fun they say--
    I'm keeping my enthusiasm at bay.
    A challenge this is
    for a non poetic Ms.
    Since O-wires I crave with zest
    I shall try my best.

    Favorite daughter's album is next.
    Greece & Italy trip she expects.
    Memories of students IB
    & great sights she will again see.

    On the weekend I hope to create
    this album; the O-wires will wait
    Because right now I am hoping
    that on the 28th I will not be moping.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I love to look at my O-wires,
    their lovliness makes me drool,
    I am new to the craft,
    makes mistakes that are daft,
    and always see projects that are cool.
    But what a surprise it would be,
    to find O -wires for me,
    come through my door,
    so i can learn some more!!!!!!


    terrible i know ,but worth a go!!

    punching through anything
    just like butter!
    thanks for this chance
    I hope I win big
    Even if I don't
    my Bind it all I still dig!

  71. OWire, OWire,
    Oh where can you be?
    I have an album that needs binded you see.

    I am new to this scrapping craze.
    Which has left my pocketbook in a daze!

    I love new things, but small is my stash.
    This would leave my pocketbook with a little more cash!

    Thanks for the giveaway chance!

  72. They’ve compared love to
    Flowers, and a burning fire
    But love (if it’s real)
    Is like a bunch of Owire.

    First you find the right match
    you just know, “This is it!”
    With Owire, like true love,
    The pieces just…fit.

    (Like coordinated papers
    of a scrapbook kit.)

    Sure, Owire (and feelings)
    get tangled and crushed.
    and both binding (and bonding)
    can’t be pressured too much.

    But that’s the risk of
    Loving…living…and creating
    But it’s Owire (and true love)
    That make memories worth making.
