My Beautiful Embroidery Floss Organizer!!!

Thank you so much to Deborah from bookloverx2 on Esty, for making my beautiful embroidery floss organizer. The idea came from a picture on Flickr and I just wanted to have one, I think is a wonderful way to storage my floss, she added some ribbons to the design too, so I can carry it everywhere. It featured small pockets for needles and scissors. I can wait to have it!, I will take some pictures with all my embroidery floss so you can have a better idea how it works.
