I haven’t been creating much lately because I have taken on a project LOL Actually several projects. I am helping a friend of mine organize her scrapbooking supplies. So far I have been tackling her lace and her ribbon… It took me overĀ week to organize the lace. So many pretty things. Basically I got a garbage bag full of lace lol was crazy cool. I hand washed it all and got it put into binders for easy viewing and finding of each piece. Some of these photos were taking with my phone…hence why they SUCK! But you get the general idea lol

All sorted, measured and put away. Each pocked is labeled with the length of the lace.

More hanging to dry and some just hanging because I ironed it. I never iron. Hubby was jealous lol.

Here is a finished shot of it. I just used some binders I had around here so they can easily be put into what ever binders she wants to store them in.

This is everything you saw and more that you didnt from the above photos.
Then for the past week or so I have been working on the ribbon…

Not sure if you can tell but this is a 10 foot table if that gives you any idea of how much is piled here LOL

In mid sort…

That huge pile in the first photo is now condensed down and organized into a 10 in by 12 in box. Awesome isn’t it LOL
I took each ribbon, measured it. Put that number on a card and wrapped the ribbon on the card. Then placed each ribbon into a snack sized zip bag for easy storage. This way even if it comes loose from the card it wont go everywhere in what ever container she ends up storing them in.
Here is a shot of just the pink =0)

Oh my word….where did all that ribbon and lace come from? That lace looks vintage and so lovely! You are doing wonderful job of organizing. I hope you post the button pictures!
I am so stressed out just looking at it all! Good thing she has a creative and efficient organizer on her hands
Wanna help me? I have nowhere and no idea what to do with all the paper I bought! eek. You have pics of how you organize your paper, yes? Although, after looking at that amount of stuff mine seems like a piece of cake! lol.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I wrote a comment and it got eaten!
I cannot believe all of that ribbon. Ok, can I ask why you are cutting it all into certain sizes?
I was thinking about you (us) the other day because now it’s March (the month I broke my ankle last year) and how we hung out a lot. I miss that.
Maybe sometime you can come on digsby and hang out with me again soon! ((Miss you))
Love,
Kacy

Wow! I am amazed at how much ribbon and lace she has and at how you organized it, Wow again!
Wow hand washed, hung to dry….pile after pile….you are a much better person than me…..so called “hand washed” items get put in a bag and put on the gentle cycle at my house. You are an amazing person and we are all so very blessed to have you touch our lives in whatever capacity! I look forward to getting to know you better and also pick your brain A LOT!!

Have a great day!
