National Paperclip Day on May 29 celebrates a small but handy invention. Yes, even the paperclip has its own day of honor. This quirky National Day celebrates the well-known piece of curved wire that keeps our papers together and helps us stay organized.

While many may have claimed earlier invention of the paperclip, according to the Early Office Museum, Samuel B. Fay received the first patent for a "bent wire paper clip" in the United States in 1867. The original intention of Fay’s clip was to attach tickets to fabric. However, U.S. patent 64,088 recognized that paperclips could also hold papers together.

Do you use paper clips while scrapbooking? I use them a lot more after taking classes from Jana Eubank. They keep everything in place and ready to go instead of having to search for it. That is if you prepare in advance.

Do you mean you put them on the page or that you keep your materials together when scrapping?

If I am doing a class, I paperclip the items together that go on a certain page so you don't have to look through everything as you go. It's done pre-project.
