Quick Fix for Feeling Overwhelmed


This morning I rounded up all my holiday ribbons and made a home for them in this charming, vintage tin I found last week at the Goodwill. Boy, oh boy, did that give me a happy sense of accomplishment.

And I just got this box of stray ribbon pieces back in order. This is a common 66 gallon plastic storage box. Each color gets its' own separate gallon plastic bag. This system really works for me. I keep this box within handy access. As I acquire new pieces, they are easy to file away.
And when I am looking for a certain color of ribbon, I can lift out that particular bag and see all my choices at once. -- Beth

Those single pieces of ribbon can be buggers to organize. Hope this system works for you too.
