This thing is amazing to me.

A few weeks ago, I was eyeing this shelf organizer at Michaels. Partially because my ribbon, paint, and stamp bins were not fitting nicely into my shelves anymore, and they were all about to overflow anyway. Especially the ribbon. I'm a sucker for adorable ribbon. Only problem was, it was about 80 bucks. That's a little pricey for a shelf set for me, no matter how cool it is. So I passed on it.

Anyway, last week we went shopping with our friends Craig, Jeff, and Frances. Frances is a fellow crafty lady (she scrapbooks) and had a 40% off coupon that she wasn't planning on using. Score. We made a trip to Michaels, and i got this guy for closer to 50 bucks, after taxes.

I tried to install this guy twice and miserably failed. I pulled the screws out of the wall both times. Turns out, I had measured slightly off, and my husband got it on the wall on his first try.

I still have space for another full row of ribbon, which is good because I have less than I normally do right now, and there's still some I haven't put up as well. All my acrylic paint is up looking pretty, and I have 3 more jars and cubbies to fill with bits and bobs of some kind or another. I'm excited.
