Monday's Organization Tip

Uggghhhh. I just realized that my Monday organization tip was never posted.

Here goes.... I have found that the easiest way to store stamp pads is to buy a cassette tape holder. I turned my ink pads upside down, they store best this way because it keeps the ink always at the surface. Then I used a Sharpie marker to write the stamp pad name on the side. This way I can easily see which color I am looking for.

I hope this helps!!

Monday Organization Tip!!

Hi everyone.... I have decided that Mondays are going to be organization tip days. We all need help organizing our supplies better and let's be honest, it's just plain fun to play with our supplies.

I have a small addiction to ribbon. I have tried to come up with many ways to store it and none have ever worked for me. I don't like keeping it on the rolls because they take up way too much room.

This is how I am doing it now. I am rolling all of my ribbon onto doll clothespins found at Michaels or AC Moore. I used to secure the ribbon with a piece of tape on the end but as you will see in the later photos, the tape kept coming undone. Now I am using a sewing pin to secure the ribbon. It works fantastic.

I hope you feel inspired to come up with a ribbon storage system that works for you.
