... on another roll? ...

And since it's been FOREVER, I should probably go ahead and post this.

Okay, I know it's not something that I created. But it is something that helps me be more creative, so that sorta counts, right?

This is my new ribbon storage. (No, it's not all of it. I still have a plastic bin full, and a sorter full of smaller pieces, but this is the stuff that I tend to use most often.) I love the way it's out in the open so I can see if I have the right color, and workably accessible - I just pull out the pin, pull off how much I need, and I'm good to go.



The best part is that it's portable. I can wrap it in a bag or pillowcase and take it along, as is. No more packing/unpacking the whole lot. I think it needs a shaped zipper cover, but I'm not too good with sewing zippers yet, so that is on the 'someday' list.

holy cow!

I haven't posted in forever... I got so caught up in the whirlwind that was moving, and then in the whirlwind that was wrestling, that I have sadly neglected this!

I did at least take time to be creative. I made this wonderful sign, which now sits on my desk at work and is actually visible from the entrance, before you even step foot inside the firm. (I sorta like that. I admit it.)



I bought the letters on clearance at a local store forever ago, so I don't remember who made them or if they're even still available. Sorry for that. I added some acrylic paint, then more acrylic paint, then flowers, rub-ons, bling, and of course ribbon.

I'm very happy with it. It's been on my desk since shortly after New Year's and still makes me smile when I see it.
