Global warming?.......The plight of the people in Darfur?.....How I can pay for my kids' college tuition in leftover craft supplies and gift tags?....... No. What keeps me up at night is ribbon storage. Yes, that's right. The complicated, yet, oh so vital, ribbon storage. I think I finally have it all figured out. Now....I'm sure everyone remembers my embellished ribbon rack. (don't you love how I say that as if "everyone" here has been reading my blog as if it were a standard autobiographical requirement for life.... "Oh yes Karin....how we all love and remember that rack fondly"......)
Anyway, as pretty as that rack is, it just isn't very functional. I just end up taking everything down when working. Smaller ribbons get lost under bigger ones. And, I really feel like I need the ribbon color sorted. So, as time went on, it became clear that as my ribbon collection grew, I was going to need to take a new direction in ribbon management and containment. Well, I present to you my new solution.........
I got the little metal containers at Target. They're originally for cd's. However, they were just what I need for my ribbons. What I like best about them is that they are designed to be stacked. And, I can pull my ribbons out; yet, still be able to see how much I have left.
Now, if I can just figure out... for the love of dead brain cells....why they insist on coming back with a third season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" (are there still that many unanswered questions about middle-aged women trying unsuccessfully to look and act like they're 20 year's old out there?).... I will be able to get some sleep!
Talk to you soon! Karin
