It always looks happy! Speaking of ribbon. I'm cleaning my ribbon drawers and putting everything loose onto boards. Can I tell you I've been at it since about 10:00 AM and I'm not finished yet. It's like Christmas, I'm finding ribbons I'd forgotten about. Have a great week...see you next Wednesday...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024885306802973106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-54866065483226722392011-03-23T05:44:18.278+00:002011-03-23T05:44:18.278+00:00I know what you mean about this taking 5 nights - ...I know what you mean about this taking 5 nights - once you start ...<br />Good idea with the jar but in my room there would be nowhere to put it.

I try to be organised with my ribbons - they are all in individual packets by colour and stored in a plastic tub - but, they still manage to fall our of their packets and get messy! I also have some larger reels on a wooden dowel in a cupboard(they always unfurl from that), then there's a large box sitting out in my craft room with some more ... shall I go on - LOLSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684895103577208094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-26502574981385575912011-03-21T17:59:46.262+00:002011-03-21T17:59:46.262+00:00ooh a lovely ribbony cat toy!

I have, as yet, been none to fussy about the hooks though and don't have a garage door to hang them on which, judging by your experience, save a lot of ire from the EM!
