Well, I'm really not. At all. But I feel like it today. I 've been looking at http://www.etsy.com/ for some type of system for storing Ayla's bows. Since she has 500 of them and all, it's impossible to keep them organized in anyway. Her top drawer of her chest looked like a ribbon shop puked and nicely shut the drawer. Anyway, etsy has some great "Bow Boards" but they want anywhere from $25-40 for a 16X20 board plus none of the ribbons matched Ayla's room the way I'd hoped.
Sooooo, I ventured into Hobby Lobby. I bought a 16X20 canvas 2 pack for $7, three rolls of ribbon for about $3 each and 1 yard of pink fabric for $1.67. That's $18 and enough for TWO bow boards although I figured it would take me at least two attempts to make something that looked decent. Imagine my surprise when 15 minutes after staring my project, I am holding THIS:

Of course, I've since realized that when you have 7,000 bows, it doesn't really matter what the ribbon looks like because you can't actually SEE it.
Because I was so pround of myself, I ventured out to Walmart for lighter pink fabric and different ribbons to make another for our little two year old friend, Cady Grace. She's younger and doesn't have so many bows, so hers had to match :)

Excellent job! Right now Kaitlyn Joy's dresser is covered in them, but I do have a select few in her bathroom handing from a couple ribbons. I hung the ribbons from a wall hanging I bought at Hobby Lobby that said something about it's worth taking a little time to look beautiful.
LOVE them so cute!!!
