Tackle It Tuesday - The Guest Room Edition

Tonight, my friend Tracy is coming to be our first houseguest since we moved here. Now, our house does "technically" speaking have a guest bedroom, but I use it as my scrapbook room 99.9% of the time. Thus, I today's tackle means I have to get the room ready for Tracy. Of course, Tracy is a fellow scrapbooker, so she is just as excited to be sleeping amidst all of the scrapbooking goodies. Anyhow, here is a "before":


(There is really a bed under all of that)


(creative genius thrives on clutter)

And here are the "After"





And for those of you who ever wondered what every became of my infamous ribbon organization tackle, here is what I finally came up with as a solution.

Tackle It Tuesday - Revisited

Remember last month when I attempted to tackle my ribbon and failed miserably? Well, I have a new idea and so I am going to revisit this one today. Hopefully, I will come back with a picture!

Tackle It Tuesday

So, the past couple of Tackle It Tuesdays, I have focused on parts of the house. This week, I am going to veer from the household path (not that there isn't plenty to be done there) and move into my scrapbook room. You see, I have a ribbon problem: Before we moved, I had it fairly under control and neatly displayed. After the move, it just kind of all wound up in this leftover box from the move. I don't like wrapping it around cards because then I have to iron it when I need to use it. I tried sorting by color, but even then some of it has too many colors to just fit into a specific color category. So, I am fresh from Hobby Lobby with what I think may be kind of a neat storage solution. We'll see if it works!
