Ribbon Continued

So, my husband brought down 5 boxes of various ribbon, a tote full of Christmas ribbon, 4 photo boxes full of ribbon, and 3 plastic containers full of ribbon. I can tell you this --- I thought I was done with the blues and the greens---apparently not. I also have white, red, orange, yellow, and purple to find a place for. I also have to do a box full of cream and gold. A small plastic tote of "saying/word ribbon", a photo box of mauve, and a small container of dog ribbon.

This is what I have accomplished so far: my holiday ribbon (Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving/Fall, and Christmas). I also did my music ribbon, my food/herb/mushroom ribbon, more brown ribbon (I knew I had more brown), my wine colored ribbon, my peach ribbon, and my felt ribbon.
I really have gotten a lot accomplished today, I hope to finish this task, if not today, I know that I can finish it tomorrow. (It may be challenging doing the colors that I have already done. I have to see if there is enough room in the box for more ribbon, and if there isn't then I have to get another box. I did run out of my IKEA boxes that I am storing my ribbon in, so I have been finding photo boxes and my white storage boxes to store the ribbon. I eventually will have to get the boxes from IKEA to have everything look uniform.

One thing I have noticed while doing this organizing project---the ribbon that comes wrapped around the cardboard leaves your ribbon with creases. Luckily I don't have much of this ribbon, but I was really disappointed in my discovery. Now, I am going to have to iron the ribbon before I use it---and that is a big inconvenience. So, if there is a choice between having the ribbon on a spool or on cardboard--choose the spool. If you have ribbon that is loose, just wind it in a circle. I have made the mistake of winding my ribbon around cardboard, but I haven't used it yet, so I did not know what kind of damage I was doing. Then again, some people don't care and they just adhere the ribbon the way that it is, if this is you--just ignore what I just said. On certain things, I am a bit of a perfectionist. I know --- weird huh. I have the qualities of having a cluttered, yet I will iron my scrapbooking ribbon...insane---insane in the membrane.
On that note, I am going to go. I need to get back to work--I feel good about getting everything done today. I have been working outside again---Wow-- it just makes me feel good--soaking up all of that sunshine. And I take little breaks to play frisbee or ball with my dog. Can it get any better? I think not.
I will keep you informed. Until then...
This is me. This is my blog.
