Ribbon Everywhere

Yesterday I was working on a card and when I got down to the finishing touches, I was looking for just the right ribbon. Now I keep my ribbon stored in 3 plastic bins on the top shelve of a rack in the studio. There was also a bag of new ribbon that I found at Meijers on clearance hanging on the side of the rack. As I was searching and searching for the perfect ribbon, it dawned on me — wait maybe some of that ribbon I got in TexasJodyLynn’s ribbon share will work. So I pulled the drawer out and ribbon flew everywhere!

I decided at that very point in time that I really needed to do some ribbon organizing. I searched throught the studio for something that I could use and . . . brainstorm . . . I have all these chipboard coasters that I’ve received from Silvia Mabie (stampinsilvia on SCS). I have them in all the sizes – thin, middle and heavyweight. Of course, the heavyweight were the ones that I broke the cuttlebug plates with, and being the *inventive* person that I am, decided to use the heavyweight coasters to roll my ribbon on. Here are the results:

This is the ribbon in its partially messy state. It didn’t occur to me to take a picture until I was half-way through organizing!

And here’s the finished bin! So much nicer!

I hope everyone has a great day — I’m off to stamp now!
