saveapenny this is how I store my ribbons. Just used leftover card and takeaway tubs, you can keep both ribbons and bows together in colours.

That's a really Clever Idea flourgirl.

Where do you all get your ribbons from? Are they expensive?

flourgirl

Thank you for all those links. Thats this evening sorted.

skiergirl was it the crafters companion site, you have to register for the free downloads, but they don't bother you with emails. Also look under the CD bonus section. There is a new download for this month. Vintage Ribbons. http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/

I thought I had got them from a site called Crafts U Love, they came in bundles of shades of the same colour, quite cheap. I have just been looking for you but can't find them. Sorry.

thanks for the idea flourgirl - I knew I kept the takeaway boxes for a reason. had to grab them off OH before he threw them away!

flourgirl

you're welcome bunbun2. I use these for allsorts of bits and bobs, they stack well and you can see whats inside them.

I bought a box of them from the chinese wholesalers when I used to cook for the farmers market

Thought I`d show you all my work in progress Christening card for my work colleague who is having her baby son christened soon.

I`m so pleased with how its turned out, just need to make the box and tag and get some baby blue tissue paper to line the box with.

The tiny shoes are a tiny bit bigger than a 2p piece.

The blue square is not part of the card its just there to protect privacy.
