For Christmas
my mom got me this beautiful Peterborough basket filled with wrapping goodies. And an organized insert.

But this was the rest of my wrapping odds and ends......

I love to wrap, I just don't always put things back in their place. Kind of like stamping and sewing and all that, huh? After a rough day back to school today I felt the need to straighten out the chaos (since I wasn't capable in my classroom) and decided to tackle a do-able project. I brought this all upstairs and watched some tv while I got it organized and threw out the bits and pieces beyond their wrapping glory.

Yay, nice and neat now! I love my bow bin (on the right) and the basket is now filled with tags, tape (I had 6 rolls!), scissors and pens. The big bin is a bit less organized, but its filled with more tissue paper than I knew I had, some flat wrap and fabric ribbons. My roll wrap, gift bags and boxes already had a good organization system set up, so they are set in the basement where these will now join them.
I repurpose a lot....besides a roll of paper now and then, I don't know the last time I bought any of this. It did help working at Hallmark for years, because everytime they redid the wrap section we got to save many things from the dumpster. I saved a lot as you can see. Too bad I don't have anything to wrap until April or so....
Maybe soon this organizational inspiration will strike while I stare at my neglected stamps. *sigh*
