All year I put my small strips of ribbon in this box, then I either save the ribbons to put on my cards and use on other projects or I make small bows out of them for cards, sentiments, or projects like making trinket boxes, etc. I had a container stored I was going to use for my bead making, but since I plan to do that next year, I am going to use the container for my bows, I can even put them by color.

I love using my basket full of ribbon, but after a whole year of using the ribbon, it really needs to be put in a nice order. After straightening out the ribbon, I can see the ribbon so much better and can easily see what I want to grab for many projects.

I love to also get all my scraps in order I use to make my “crafty” cards in order the beginning of January. This year I am going to organize this a little better, since I know I am going to dive into this bend making a lot of sentiments instead of cards. I have made many original Watercolor designs Tom prints for my cards that I can use instead and am excited I have decided to use my scraps for making sentiments going forward. This year I am still going to make some cards though since awhile ago I had put some of my scrap designs in this bend to make cards. I will be excited to show you probably sometime in February my completed cards, sentiments, and how I organized everything.

I also like to make Watercolor bookmarks made from all the paper scraps I had accumulated all year. The six papers you see in front I cut will turn into bookmarks like the six bookmarks standing in back.

Organization, I love to organize. It inspires me to use my materials and get creating! Do you also like to organize your craft room or Art Studio?

Happy Creating,

Vicki
