My small organizational ideas

My friend, Stephanie, posted a blog about organization ideas. So....here are the few ideas I have.

I got tired of dealing with big plastic bins of my gift wrapping stuff. So, I decided to use these canvas bins from Wal-Mart. I put my bags by size in the largest, the next has my tissue paper (lined up in colors) in it, & the other I have my ribbon. I use paper clips to hold my ribbons together. Beside the bins I have some of my ribbon on an old paper towel holder, I have asked Rob to fix my up with a dowel rod to put my other ribbons on. My wrapping paper rolls I put in this great canvas holder from Home Depot Clearance. They are normally in the closet but I brought them out for this picture.
ON a side note, my Mom painted this old chair in Mary Engelbreit style for her schoolroom.

My sister-in-law asked me how I organize my girls bows. I have 2 of these little drawer bins from the Dollar Store.

The Bilum from Papua New Guinea has my clothes pins (which I use for chip clips plus hanging clothes). The natural colored basket has oranges & other fresh fruits, the white is one for potatoes that I found for a few cents at Good-Will. I was very excited with it because it is flat on the side of the handle so I can hang it against the wall. The fruit basket I used string to hang from my pantry shelves. The green/white gingham is a plastic bag holder.
