There is no rhyme or reason to my ribbon storage, but I find it functional. Of course, I don’t have the collection of ribbon that some of you have! You know who you are too, lol.
My ribbon is not sorted by color or kind it just finds itself on these wire racks that I got from Walmart 5 years ago. They hang from the bottom shelf that my stamps are stored on. I have four of them.
I should really sort it by color, but there are cards to be made and a blog to update. Important stuff!
I could have at least straighten them up before share with you, lol. I’m just keeping it real!
Now below is a picture of some of my ribbon by the yard. I found these holders, also at Walmart, that have these cute little clips to keep the ribbon on them. I just put a piece of ribbon through the holes and tie it to keep the group together. Again, no rhyme or reason to color, etc.
So lets hear from you. How do you keep your ribbon stored? Leave a comment or even better yet a link in the comments section so we can check it out!
Have a colorful day!
Until tomorrow. . . . . . .

I used my Rubber Stampede Mirror Image Stamp, Item 247F in a tutorial and received e-mail/comments from a few of you looking for this stamp. I got mine at Micheael’s 5 years ago, I have not seen one there for sometime. A few of you have also done Internet searches and so have I looking for this stamp without any success. I did find that two of them are listed on Ebay to end 3 and 4 days from now. Maybe that is an option to getting this stamp. Sorry I had no idea when I used it in my project it would be so hard to find. I do love using mine and will probably use it in future tutorials, please forgive me!
If you have no idea what I am talking about here is a picture of the stamp.
As you can see mine is stained from use, but this has not effect on future images.
You can stamp on the mirror image stamp and then stamp the mirror image stamp on your paper and it gives, that’s right, a mirror image.
If anyone knows of a place that these can be purchased new, please share that information with us by commenting on this post.

I received an e-mail from Terri Honz “thonz on SCS”, she wanted to know what White Gel Pen I use. Well Terri my current favorite is a White Gelly Roll Pen. All it says on the side of it is Gelly Roll, Med, Sakura/Japan. I picked it up at Michaels for around $2.00, if my feeble brain remembers right, lol.
I have purchased many white pens, most of them have clogged long before the ink was gone. I have a really bad habit of using them on wet card-stock, over melted embossing powder, chalk, prismacolor pencils, etc., etc.
Stampin’ Up sells this other one shown in the picture above. It’s a uni-ball Signo, medium point. It is also a pretty good pen.
I heard through the grapevine Ranger is coming out with a fantastic white pen, I suppose I will have to buy it so I can report to you here my findings. You enablers, sigh. . . . . .
Sorry for the short post today. I’m working on projects for the fan club gallery on SCS which will be unveiled the 15th. Yikes! the 15th and it’s almost here. Gotta go!
Have a fantastically creative day!

I get questions all the time about my brayer. It’s a regular old Speedball brayer with a rubber roller, nothing magical about. The roller, when new, was tan in color, but as you see it is stained black from lots and lots of use. How do I get it to work so well for me? Answer, lots and lots of use, lol.
I use Stampin’ Up - Stampin’ Mist and scrub pad to clean it after use.
So there it is the not so glamorous or magical Zindorf brayer, lol.
