I recently came up with a way to have a cute charmed bookmark or a "charming" paper clip to organize stuff with. The downside is that they can often leave imprints on the paper and you have to clip a bunch of paper together for them to work, and then there's always the possibilitiy of it getting caught on something and getting pulled out. But other then those conserns it's a great little idea
