So during the recent holiday extravaganza sale, I decided to give in to my eternal debate for how to store all my ribbon and order the SU ribbon holders.  I had most recently been just stacking the ribbon in towers with my other stamping supplies, which doesn’t work so well because they kept falling over!  [...]
