What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

A trip to my local Michael's yielded all this great ribbon out of the dollar bin.  Did I need one in every color?  Sure!  Did I need more ribbon?  Can one have too much?
So, from the following pics of my ribbon stash, you be the judge.  Go ahead, I can take it!
Exhibit A, Drawer 1: white, cream, yellow, pink, purple, blue, red and orange
Exhibit B, Drawer 2: green, brown, black
Exhibit C, Drawer 3: scraps and loose pieces
Exhibit D, boxes of ribbon pulled to coordinate with paper and embellishment in current projects
Exhibit E, storage boxes by topics such as wedding/anniversary in blue, green, pink and silver/gold, baby boy, baby girl,  Valentine's Day, Christmas.   Each with coordinating ribbons in their box.
There also is a closet (not shown) that has Halloween stuff.  I'll show that when the time comes.  (Its my fav!)
Well, that was cathartic.
I sure enjoyed last Wednesday's anniversary party!  Lots of cool, inspiring stuff!  Thanks to all that left comments here.  I really appreciate it!!!!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  4. I really envy you having a Michaels, I discovered them a few years ago on a holiday and every time we go to USA, I have already prepared a list of things I want and where the nearest Michaels is. Love all that ribbon

  5. Wow, I think you have more ribbon in one box than I actually own. Does that tell you anything? I love those topic storage bins. A great way to keep things organized (and hide some ribbon, too). Happy WOYWW.

  9. ohoooo what lovely ribbons you have, you'd never get stuck with which one to use as there's just every colour!! I love Michaels, I just WISH we had one here in England. But it's a long way to go for ribbon!

  14. Well, that was cathartic. Made me laugh!! Cathartic for me too - Kathryn, I would hug you if we were neighbours - I thought I had a bad ribbon thing!! You win. But it's a lovely bad thing. ANd I would totally have bought all of th $1 reels, it would have been foolish and rude not to. !

  18. I'm not sure that you actually needed the new ribbon, but think of it this way...at that price you're actually SAVING money as now you won't need to buy it when it's at full price !
    Love all your ribbons, I'm very jealous! lol!
