Gotta Get Organized…
Jul 26th, 2007 by Jen
Being organized in this craft is often a challenge. Storage can be expensive and just getting organized is just about everyone’s nightmare…including mine. I recently moved into my new craft room and I was determined to be organized and I am…for the most part. The other night I was looking at my non-color-ordered ribbon and about had a conniption. It had to get organized in proper color order…NOW!! So, I took it all apart and divided all the ribbon into their color families. Two of the pics are from the organization process and the other two are the final product. The organization part was not a one person job! I had a very special helper…a cat {Gracie, the sly black cat}! Talk about some interesting moments. Now that all is said and done and I’m happy. Well, mostly happy. I forgot one thing. One very important thing. A fact. The fact that I will purchase more ribbon in the future, and I didn’t leave any room for the newbies to move in. I guess I will be having another re-org night with Gracie! Oh, and by the way, the ribbon storage that I have on top of the drawers is from Target and they are $6.99 each. Tony got most of mine post Christmas when they were on super sale. The ribbon in the drawers is ribbon that I have purchased from the spool and many various places and is wrapped around ribbon cards from Cropper Hopper.

I am so jealous of your wonderful craft room, Jen! You have an awesome space.
organization is such a stressful job! Looks like you are getting there. I have my ribbon sorted by color in 2 qt mason jars on top of my bookshelf.
This is great, love the organization, I am jealous.
Well, I sure don’t feel so badly about MY ribbon collection, now!!! :0) If my husband ever complains I’ll just show him yours.
WOW! Looks great. Where did you get those riibon storage drawers under the ones from Target?
