If you have a zyron sticker maker run the ribbon through there and you have ribbon that will stick down in a straight line more easily.

Are you like me Theresa and keep everything that you just never know when you can use it? LOL

Thanks for the link

Kathy I do that with my ribbon all the time....so much easier to put on a page.


I keep everything and If I don't use it my kids do for their books.

Who said those over the door shoe and make-up hangers are just for shoes and make up? I have one in my craft room that has zips and pockets which hold my boxes of photo glue dots, double sided tape and spare glue bits, it also has pockets with all those little extras that need storing, I use this a make up hanger and it's great as it has clear pockets to see what you want easily!

Kathy--I agree with you on using shoe organizers for more than just holding shoes. I have one in my craft room and one in a closet where I keep seasonal decorations. I use it to hold glass votive cups, figurine, small flower bushes, etc. that I change with the season.
Thanks for the website. I know I am always looking for ways to be more organized.

I have one in my bathroom tha tis sorta half shoe sized pockets and I put my brush hair clips, bans etc in them works really well and I don't have "stuff" all over the place, that is what decided me to explore other options for one.

Another way to show/store things, is to get 2 picture hooks across your wall, even heights of course, and tie a tight loop of string or twine.
As you get your papers or photos together pop them in ziploc bags and hang on the string with a peg. That way your work surface is free while you think on things and collect your stuff for your working page, example: peg up your photos, then peg up papers you'd like to consider, then stickers etc. Peg the bags not the photos and papers also making sure that you don't overload the weight for the hooks/twine ratio LOL

Do you have a condiment rack or spice rack you no longer use on the dining table or in the kitchen?
Use these to pop a pair of scissors, a pencil, a glue stick and the essentials that you use every day and this can be carried from desk to desk, or room to room easily.
Also good if the kids do their homework on the dining table it keeps their pencils rulers and homework materials all together and goes back in their room or away in the cupboard till tomorrows home work.

To add detail to a scrap page or card pinprick some holes to either thread cottons or ribbons.
A good way to make this even spaced and tidy is to use a plastic canvas square, line it up inside the corner approx 1/4 ins in. Example; 5 pin pricks around a corner like an L by itself is a nice easy embellishment.
To protectt table pop on some soft box cardboard, paper to embellish then plastic canvas.
