Ribbon Swaps

Now on to the ribbon swaps from CKU. I did two swaps - one with the CKU-O yahoo group, and another with 5 friends. I'm was happy with both swaps, but the one done with my friends had a better quality of ribbons overall.

Swaps are a great way to get a variety of items with a small investment. Chance are, you won't need 3 yards of any one particular ribbon unless you are doing multiples of the same project, so it's fun to get a yard each of a variety. There are some I received that I probably will never use because they are theme related, or were wire ribbons, but if I don't use them in other projects, I will donate them to a charity which does craft projects.


Now, I've got to find a better way to organize them. I have a dowel to hold spools of ribbon, but need to do something for small cuts of ribbon like what you get in a swap. I'll let you know what I figure out. If you've got suggestions, please let me know.
