Chipboard Alphabet Organization

Well I had some of my chipboard alphabet in a box with file like chipboard in there to seperate the letters. I didn't like it at all. So decided to look and see what I could come up with. I came up with this after searching. I looked at tool holders and such but they were too expensive and the drawers not big enough for me. So finally found these at Lowe's on sale. I bought all they had. I really want to find one more so it looks even and use the extra drawers for other embellishments. I do still have some of my bigger chipboard sets in their containers (especially Basic Grey ones) in a crate so I can just grab that for when I want all the same.

Ribbon Organization/Storage

Okay for the longest time I have not had my ribbon like I wanted. I always felt like I forgot what I had. I have tried a couple different ways of organizing but I finally found one that I love! I got the idea from the Clip it up Ribbon Organizer but I don't have rolls of ribbon so that would have been a waste for me. I mainly buy ribbon by the yard. So I went looking for a rod to hang on my wall. Now I knew that I wanted it to be silver b/c the clips from Clip It Up are silver and I like everything to match. Well the closest thing I could find was a 7/16" rod from Lowe's. It is a little wider then I would have liked. I would have liked a 5/16". The reason I would have liked a smaller one is b/c the clips would fit on it better. On the 7/16" one I had to widen the clips so they would fit on. The ribbon is "tied" onto rings that I got at the office store. They are the 1.5" rings. Now it is all done and looks great and I can see what I have at a glance!
