Ribbon Storage

For those of you "blurfing" for craft storage ideas, here's how I store my ribbons that I purchase by the yard. Such yummy colors - makes you want to lick them!





I have found Walmart to be the most affordable place to purchase these floss boxes. The ribbon cards and clips are from Cropper Hopper, usually sold at Archivers in my area.

The carry case which I purchased at Michaels last year came with 3 of the storage boxes. Those cases flew off the shelves lemme tell you.
Bulkier ribbons or on the spool, I store in photo boxes labeled and stacked on my shelf.
Still hoping to get crafty soon and make some cards to post.

I am outraged!

"AIG spent US$440,000 on spa, resort after bailout, lawmakers say"
The Financial Post

"Need a Job? $17,000 an Hour. No Success Required."
NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF The New York Times

It's time I set up my soapbox again and let off some steam! Quite frankly I don't even know where to begin with all the news that continues to surface out of our economic situation. Let's face it, we ALL knew that corporate greed existed and it was excessive, but to this extent???

It really goes beyond anything that I can say or give my opinion on, I think most of us would agree, this is disgusting!

Care to read on ....
