Crafty if only for a day

I am not a crafty person.  I like crafty things, it just isn't in my blood.  Probably because I am not very patient.  I have this wall above the little desk in my kitchen.  It has always been very unattractive with a tattered bulletin board on it.  Even worse, the wall behind it is very yucky with a bunch of old adhesive etc.  The only thing I could think of was to do a ribbon board.  Not such a difficult task you say?  Well, I had an electric outlet and a phone jack to deal with as well.

Tada!!!  With some help from my awesome hubby, I completed what I believe to be a very nice looking ribbon board.  Don't expect any additional crafts coming out of this lady anytime soon but apparently I can pull it off if left with no other options.
