WOYWW and no. thats not all the ribbon I have!

I am proud to report that my desk is still clean, one whole week and a whole lot of cards later. I went to Hobby ex with one of my blogging buddies Ursula and did some shopping, so on my desk you will see the spoils. Some beautiful paper from a local company Paper Explosion. Some new stamps, some tiny little pom poms and some velcro closures (I can feel some boxes coming on) and an embossing plate which I can't seem to figure out how to use. I have put all of these away in their proper place since I took the photo. If you do not understand why I am showing you my beautiful, clean desk then head over to Julia at (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com ) to see what is going on there and join in on the fun.
At Really Reasonable Ribbon (http://reasonableribbon.blogspot.com ) they are looking at different ways of storing ribbon this week. As most of you know, I am a bit of a ribbon junkie, so I begged my DH to help me with storage and this is what he came up with, the best ribbon storage I have ever had. Dear man did not think I could ever fill it, but I proved him wrong very quickly. This is not the only way I store my ribbon, just how I store the rolls of ribbon. If you look carefully, you will see some ribbon hanging in the right hand corner of the photo. Pieces that are too short to go on a roll, gets sorted by colour and hung on the side of my stamping shelf.
At the bottom you will see my book bags, full of tests that need to marked TODAY and the roll of net curtains? They are for my DD's new flat. She is moving in at the end of the month.
That's me for today folks, I better get back to marking those tests and stop blogging during my free periods!
Have a great Wednesday, see you soon.

    Love your ribbon storage idea but mine is all bits not reels as I don't use that much and just buy bits as and when I see something I like. Never can find it though as it is 6 different places.

    Howdy,
    Neat desk - lots of ribbon. I gave up on trying to display all my ribbon months ago. It was just annoying me too much.

    Now I just cut it to 6 or 8 inshes as soon as I buy it. Then I store it in 4 baggies: cool, warm, neutral, white/gold. The baggies go in a vintage purse with dividers that I found at Goodwill for 3 bucks!

    Meanwhile, would love for you to stop by my blog when you have a moment or 2. Also, a giveaway is coming soon!

    Peace,
    LuLu

    Oh Tertia, your ribbon storage looks fabulous!! Love all the pretty colours all displayed, very inspirational!!
    I have searched high and low for some little wooden masks I bought in Jo'burg... thought they would be superb for my South African touch for my house... but i can't find them anywhere!! :(

    Your little orange buckets add a happy look to your desk. It's fun that there still are local paper companies, so you can have something that not everyone else can have.

    Busy busy! Fab storage - great to have a handy DH! My ribbon is the other way round, bought by the metre, only have a few reels. Your desk remains stunning...I'm not a bit jealous of the marking though!
