I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to make a card yesterday, busy with DT cards which you'll get to see soon.. I do have some samples I will show you just not yet...
.I did have a fab conversation yesterday with Ali from Crafty Ribbons and I mentioned how I store my ribbons,as per usual she had me laughing with something she told me,which had me chuckling all afternoon....
Anyway I thought I would show all of you my storage and my ribbons,now be warned I do love ribbons......
Told you I love ribbon...lol...I took the pic out on the patio yesterday afternoon,I couldn't get any closer as I ended up losing half the ribbons,but I think if you click on the pic you should get a better look....I just got fed up of my ribbons in a box as they always got tangled,this way if I need pink ribbon then all the pink is on the top row,blue on the next one and so on,makes it so easy....I would love to know what you think and how you store yours....
Have a great day....
Edited to show the rack without the ribbons and to show how it closes down to a small size
As you can see it will close back on it's self to make it smaller and then I just open it out when I'm making a card,but it's really easy to store as it just stands...Hope this explains a bit better....

Wow, that is a lot of ribbon!!! I have all my shoved in a bag and it drives me insane trying to look for ribbon when I want it!! I would love to know about a great storage solution too.. Unfortunately I don't have the room to sort mine out like yours!! LOL! Hugsxx
OMG I think I need more ribbon! Mine is stuffed in a couple of small drawers. Love your storage :)
Wow, that's what I call an abundance of ribbon.You do make me chuckle.Great use of the clothes horse much more fun than having washing on them.Love Debbie x

WHOA, now THAT'S A LOT of ribbon. I think you've earned the title of Ribbon Queen. After seeing your pix, I might dream about ribbons tonight. TFS :-)
Blimey 'eck I thought I had a lot of ribbons!! What a great idea, you'll probably use them more now they're more accessible.

WOW! Mandy what a lot of gorgeous ribbons and looks great being able to see what you have and not getting tangled up,and I thought I had a lot lol...Mine are in 5 a4 size really useful boxs.
Wendy xx
Gosh what a fantastically novel idea for storage and my what a collection of ribbons....no wonder they all got knotted when in boxes....sooooo many lol xxxx hugs Amanda
Clever idea Mandy:) I guess you really do love your ribbons lol
Love your garden sweetie, what a fab space!

I don't think you have quite enough ribbon...LOL! It's so pretty though and out among the apple blossoms. What a lovely photo. Such a rainbow of colours. It's a good way to store so many.
Wow Mandy you do love ribbons! I am smiling here I have never seen so much ribbon not even in the shop.
You will never be short will you, but I must say what a brilliant way to store them and when folded up it doesn't take much room up does it.
My ribbon is on the spools in a plastic tub it does at times get tangled up, thank you for sharing with us.
Hugs Julie x
wow Mandy, You really do love ribbon. this is adorable.
Lol... Mandy this has made me smile.. i have one of those clothes airers in my craft room next to the ironing doing nothing..
I think it is a great fun idea and I may copy you lol... but I will have to buy more ribbon to fill it (hint to hubby lol.) as I dont have half as much as you.
Thanks for the inspiration lol
Hugs kelly
What a brilliant idea Mandy, and what a large ribbon stash you have, I have 4 big plastic boxes full, I like this idea because you dont have to search for colours,but my craft room is to small.
Kevin xx
I have that prob too Mandy , I look for a colour and they get even more tangled, Well done Hugs Elaine
I think it is awesome and I do think you like ribbon! lol I have a ribbon rack that hold spools of ribbon and most of my ribbon is on spools as I had a Flower Shop a few years ago and couldn't part with the ribbon when we closed it down, so I have several rolls. A lot of mine has the wire on the sides -- any suggestions on using it.
Good heavens Mandy!! I thought I had a lot of ribbon but you can definitely beat me!! Jill x
Wow! That is a lot of ribbon!!! Great storage idea!
Oh wow, what a lot of ribbons! Such a great way to store them.
Mine are just stuffed in a box.
Nikki x
WOW thats a lotta lotta ribbons,mine are kept in a little tin .lol.
well this is interesting! i've seen a lot of different ribbon storages, but this is the most interesting one to date! :p i bet it's nice to be able to see them all at once! unfortunatly i wouldn't have the space for it -- even if it does fold up nicely. thanks for showing. :)
Good Heavens Mandy Do you think it's time for a 12 step program? LOL! WOW that is fabulous! I really must show my DH this photo. He'll never complain about my collection again!
Hugs
OMFG Mandy. Yours ribbons storage is amazing. So many colours and samples. Clever way for storage. Might be difficult for you to choose which you use. My storage of ribbons is much smaller. I'm addicted with papers. Never have too much them. Have a nice day. Lily Anuska
I thought i had much ribbons, ooooh Mandy this is crazy hihihihi. I store my ribbons folded, and thight together with tiny elastic bands which are used for bracelets. I hope you do understand cause my enlish is very poor hahahaa.
Hugs Corine
Wow, you could give any ribbon shop a run for their money. A great storage idea though.
Major envy.

OMG! I don't have enough ribbons! lol
I only have two little drawers, one has ribbons on reels, one has loose bits.
I use one of those storage frames thingies to dry clothes....
Great idea xx
OMG I don't think I have ever seen that many ribbons never mind one person to own. haha brilliant x
oh my giddy aunt.that is one serious ammount of ribbon hun :D
xx coops xx
Oh Mandy, that has made me laugh. I love ribbon but have nowhere near that amount. Mine are all in a box and do get in a bit of a muddle but I rather like having a rummage around when the rest of my stuff is oh so tidy.
WOW! That's a lot of ribbon, what a fabulous storage idea! (Love your pic of your garden too!)
Lol, you really do love ribbon don't you,, really fab idea for storage
Lindsay xx
OMG Mandy you have sooo much ribbon all yummy too!!!! and what a great way to store them.
(hugs)
Trish (-:
OMG, ribbon ribbon everywhere...how funny but good idea...joann sassy raggedy
oh my gosh Hun,now that is an awful lot of ribbon,such a great idea too Hun,love your garden too Hun its beautiful hugs Cherylxxxx
aaaaaw ha hahahaa so funny... I still drool over these ribbons... tee hee!
xoxo, Alessandra
Ok Mandy, firstly, your garden looks amazing! What a beautiful scene! Wow!
And secondly OMG fantastic idea - I thought I had a lot of ribbons. With little man taking over the entire house I am restricted to having my ribbons in a box so the usual tangled approach for me. I'm quite good with the nicer ribbons and bag them in craft bags to keep them tidy xx
Wow Mandy I thought I had a lot of ribbon even though I don't use it that often but your collection is amazing. Great way to store them though as I get fed up with every time I want a ribbon I have to iron it as they get screwed up in the draws I keep them in.
Kim xXx
Great idea!
