Second Challenge.... a tip!

Well Sisters...this is what I have been doing lately... you know all those ribbon reels and all that ribbon all out in a row ...or a mess? Well...I had all my reels of ribbon on a small shelf I picked up at Ikea...this worked really well but I soon found that I got tired of looking at it and it just always looked a little messy...so one day when I was in Walmart just looking around I wandered into the "Men's area"...ha ha ha...the tool box aisle. I found some really great containers with lots of partitions and really solid closures...and they have holes on the back to hang them. I sat one night a rewound all my ribbon, rik rak and fibres into 4 of them...they are very handy and see through too and if I go off to a crop I can just grab what I want. (and they are only around $5 each)

That's a great idea! Just yesterday, my daughter and I dumped out all my ribbon and sorted by color. I just put them back into baggies, but this is something I like much better!
