this is the newly arranged ribbon wall. On the clips are narrow ribbons which are in colour groups - with the exception of the rings either end which are my newly aquired heart and bling ribbons. In the scottie drawers are all my wider ribbons - and each drawer is rammed full. I've wound the ribbons on to cards for ease use and minimal creasing. The big boxes are part of my rubber stamp collection. The mini suitcase is crammed with 'special' ribbons - basically ones I didn't know where else to put them.
a closer view of my scottie drawers and yes the colours are in alphabetical order (I know thats a complete anorak trick) and the ribbons tied round the scotties' necks shows which colour is in which drawer - well I like them.
then of course there are the ribbon boxes that I decorated, they are full of narrow ribbons that I use for quick embellishments and again the colour of the box denotes the colour tone inside. These sit on the shelf over my desk for easy use.
There are more, which I completely forgot about - there are several shoe boxes stuffed full of wools, cords, raffia etc, they live in the bottom of a wardrobe - hence they get forgotten and rarely see the light of day.
Do you think I need to join ribbons anonymous? Is there any hope for me? Am I diagnosed as a ribbon addict?
