I like the idea Randy (alexa071) about keeping the band with the notes, I may have to find some kind of journal to try this. Do you keep them in alphabetical order somehow?

I use a book-bound journal. I just grabbed the one from Officemax that looked like the pages were the LEAST likely to start falling out. Since it isn't a ring-binder there really isn't any way to reorganize once they're in there. Just out of necessity I keep them in chronological order. I tape the bands to the pages with Duck brand "HD clear" packing tape.

After awhile I have to go back and review them to make sure I'm not putting any repeat bands in. It's nice to be able to go back now, almost two years after getting into the hobby, and see the very first bands from the cigars I had on vacation that got me into the hobby.

That is a cool idea, I am gonna try something like this.
