Pink Saturday - February 21, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday!

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is my jar of pink ribbons.  I save my empty Yankee Candle jars to use to store the ribbons I use for scrapbooking and card making.  I wrap my ribbon around wood clothespins, and it keeps them from getting tangled and wrinkled.  I confess that I have fifteen of these jars filled with ribbon.

Come on, confess.  You have a lot of ribbon, too.  Don't you?!

 

This week we have one hundred thirty-eight (138) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are nine new participants this week, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Please remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 5 p.m. EST yesterday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Hi Beverly,
Love your ribbons. And yes i have lots of ribbons that I use for my scrapbooks. Never thought of putting them on clothespins. Thanks for the idea! Have a great day!!

Sherrie

[dana]

I think your ribbon storage idea will have gals hoarding empty candle jars and wooden clothespins from here on out--what a terrific idea!
Hope your Saturday is filled with fun. I'm spending most of my day setting up for a bridal shower we're hosting tomorrow! Dana

[Jennie T.]

Yummy pink ribbon! I love how you store these. Fantastic idea!
Happy, happy Pink Saturday!

[mary]

[Alicesg]

That's a great idea. It looked so neat and pretty.

[Elizabeth]

What a great way to store your ribbon. Mine are in ziploc bags by color and then in a nice bamboo storage box.

[Shirl Hubbs]

Good Morning Beverly, Happy Pink Saturday! What a cute way to store ribbon! How did you get all the wax out of the jar?Have a great weekend!
Bless you, Shirl

[Dawn]

That's a lot of ribbon you have there Beverly! I probably could fill those jars too. I feel guilty now for throwing all my Yankee Candle jars away.

Happy Pink Saturday.

Take care,
Dawn

[marie]

Such a great idea. I have all my ribbons wrapped around pieces of cardboard and stuffed into a plastic storage box. I think I will look into this idea. Thanks
Marie

[Nancy at La Chambre Rose]

Lovely! I do save the jars. Now off to find those clothespins and wrap my ribbon...after Pink Saturday visits, of course.

[~CC Catherine]

Hi Sweet Beverly, Love the way you wrap your PINK ribbons around those pins. Lovely idea! ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups"

[Sally]

What a super idea, but how do you empty the jar of wax? Happy Pink Saturday!

[ladyjane]

Beverly, I totally love your pink post! All of your ribbon looks so cute wrapped around the clothespins! Beverly have I ever told you that the PINK SATURDAY girls are the BEST? I am overwhelmed at them sometimes...today I am crying PINK TEARS too...look at what our dear Claudi has done for me...and for our FAITHFUL FRANNIE BREAST CANCER DOLL! Special pink hugs for Claudie...and extra pink love to you Beverly for hosting this fabulous bunch of girls!

[Llyn]

What a sweet and pretty way to store your ribbon!! Happy PS!

[Mimi]

You just wouldn't believe the amounts of ribbon I have in this box and in that drawer and over there and under here. Looks like I'm going to have to get them organized!

[Patti Cakes]

I've done my first Pink Saturday but I couldn't email you. My email doesn't seem to be working.

[Cam]

What a nice use for the jars and the ribbon is so cheery looking :)

[DeeLight]

Love the jar of pink ribbon, but most of all I love the idea of storing it on a clothes pin. Thanks for a wonderful idea.

[shari replogle / playswithpaper]

Good Morning Beverly , and Happy Pink Saturday. I Love the ribbon clothespins in the jar, and you can see which one you want right away, Clever! I too have been wrapping my ribbon on different vintage elements lately ( my latest is my ribbon dolls)because it seems to be taking over the studio LOL.
~Shari

[SueLovesCherries]

Beverly, you sure burn a lot of candles, honey! I don't think I've ever emptied a Yankee jar! Awesome idea with the clothespins - I may have to try it!

[bj]

thiis is the cutest idea, ever...you are so smart. and here i have been throwing away glass jars and their lids for years. oh, i have a few with things in them, but nothing as cute as this....thanks for the wonderful photo of them
happy Pink Saturday and many thanks for hosting this MAGNIFICENT event...the largest in our circle of Blogland, I am thinking.
xo bj

[Penny @ Lavender Hill Studio & The Comforts of Home]

That is a wonderful way to display that beautiful ribbon! How do you get all of the candle wax out of those jars?
Hugs,
Penny

[Jill]

I really like the way you store your ribbons, thank you for the links, with PINK being my favorite color, must check out those links.

[Debbie Nania]

I do have a lot of ribbon. Cute way to keep it and way to re-use!

[Tristan Robin]

What a terrific storage idea! I keep all my trims wrapped around cardboard, and it makes them 'lumpy' and I have to press them before using. Thanks for the idea - and I didn't know they even MADE clothes pins any more! LOL

Thanks for hosting the fun pink event!

[karen cox]

Hi Bev,
Happy Pink Saturday. I just love how you store your ribbon. I have never seen this done, was it your own invention. You should share this with Somerset magazines, it be perfect in their magazine. I would love to see all those jars lines up. Wow what a photo op! Have a beautiful weekend.
Blessings,
Karen

[Dixie]

Beverly... love your pink saturday post today... enchanting... times gone by...
blessings. Dixie

[Jill]

I adore ribbon - I even have some in my PS post today! I love how you store yours! Mine are jumbled into two drawers, with loose ribbon in a third drawer. Yoiu can imagine how tangled those can get after a while!

[RobinfromCA]

What a great idea! I love how they look on the clothes pins! But how on earth do you get the remnants of the candle out of the jar?

[Sherri S]

Love your ribbon jar! I wasn't aware of pink Saturday. Boo hoo! Found you from another pink gal. I did post a cute pink sign I made from scrapbook stuff last night though. Ha!

[Kim]

Ok,now THAT is a fantastic idea! I just might have to steal it. LOL I've been wracking my brain, trying to figure out what to do with the ribbon chaos in my Craft Room. I love LOVE your idea. Guess I better start burning more candles.

Happy Pink Saturday!

K-

[Bre]

What an awesome idea ...how creative is that? It all looks so charming.

.......I love ribbon too but my ribbon doesn't look as cute as that.....it's kind of shoved in a drawer LOL

I'll have to do something about that!

Cheers
Bre

[caren]

Thanks again so much for all your work and what a GREAT idea on how to store ribbon. I have a lot of odds and ends of ribbon, now I know what to do with them. Wonderful tip!

Have a great weekend.

[Betty]

What a clever way to store ribbon! Thanks for all you do. I know organizing and keeping Pink Saturday going must be time consuming for you and I appreciate it very much. Thanks for the fun!

[Angela]

What an AWESOME idea!!! Thanks for sharing that with us! Now I know what to do with all of that ribbon that my little boy got into and is every where in my sewing room!!!! lol

Thanks for adding me to the list of Pink Saturday Posts!!!!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!!
Angela

[Carolyn of What Now? Tablescapes]

Wow, what a beautiful jar! That's a great idea!

Carolyn (new)

[Connie]

Oooooooohmygoodness, another "week of chatting with the pink sisters"!!!! It'll take me a while to do all this. Oh, I do love your idea but I don't know if there's enough clothespins to hold all my ribbon. I will, however, try and do it also. I simply LOVE new ideas on storing bits and pieces of "fluff", chickee. Thank YOU!!!!
Happy pink saturday.........
xoxo,
Connie

[g]

Good morning, Beverly! Pretty way to save ribbon. It looks so nice in the jar!

So great to have 138 Pinkies! What a success.

[Diane]

Beverly,
You are probably the most organized lady in all of blogland! That is a great way to store ribbon...and looks very decorative too!

Happy Pink Saturday!

[Loretta]

What a fantastic way to store ribbon! Where did you find the wooden clothepins? Happy Pink Day!

[Fifi Flowers]

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly!

[verra watkins]

Oh wow, what a great idea. I will have to remember to get some of those pins. Thank you Beverly for hosting this wonderful day.

[Kris]

Beverly,
I must confess...I have more ribbon stored in various containers than I can possibly use..they are a weakness of mine. Great way of storing them.

Kris

[cielo]

Wow, so many lovely blogs to visit... what a treat! thank you Beverly.... have a lovely Saturday....

Hugs

cielo

[claudie]

I don't think I can find those clothspins around here. Believe or not that's one thing I do not have, ribbon. I'm not a very good wrapper, never liked it never will. My daughter would wrap all my parcels, now she was "great at it".
My kind of wrapping is postal. I slap on the brown paper and the duck tape....lol
Happy PS and thanks again.
Love Claudie
xoxo

[Anne Fannie]

Beverly:
I love the way you store your ribbons! I have so much ribbon, I think I am a ribbonholic I am always buying ribbon when they are on sale and I have so much. I love the way you keep yours stored with the vintage looking clothes pins! I just might have to copy this!
Happy Pink Saturday and thank you again for all your time and trouble you put forth to put this on for all of us!
Love, Ann :)

[Betty @ She's Sew Pretty]

what a great idea and a good use for those jars. We won't even go into how much ribbon I have. My hubby might read this. ;o)
♥Have a wonderful Pink weekend, Beverly!♥

[Happy To Be]

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

[Kathy]

Ummmm, my name is Kathy and I am a ribbonholic : ) I love the idea of your jars with clothes pins. And recycling is a great thing! I hope you have a beatutiful weekend.
Kathy

[Kady]

What a great idea for old Yankee Candle jars! I love Yankee candles, but didn't even think of repurposing them. Bad of me, isn't it?

I also love the idea for wrapping the ribbon around clothespins! Believe it or not, I don't have any ribbon, but am seriously thinking about getting some because I want to be more crafty now that I'm laid off.

Have a great Pink Saturday!

Kady

[Cami @ Creating Myself]

What a wonderful idea & it makes for a cute Pink Saturday post too!

Thansk for letting us know about Lynne's husband.

[Sandi]

Hi Beverly,
Great way to keep your ribbons away from the dust bunnies! Have a wonderful day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Thank you for stopping by my post - it's always good to see your comment. :-)
