Day 19 - Ribbon Advent
19/12/2012
Not only do I love ribbon but Iam also very parcial to wrapping paper.
Tony will tell you how I linger and touch rolls of paper!
I have spent ages deciding how to wrap my presents this year,
should I go stylish with big pompom bows,
or rustic with raffia and oranges.
I have so many ribbons to choose from...................
................I decided to go back to basics and FULL ON!
Rather fun for me. Both ribbons are from our Basic 2 Go range,
the lime satin is here and the red grosgrain is here
With a combined cost of 15p per metre I could use as much as I wanted.......and I did!
Bev has a NEW Ribbon Bag - Specially for you.
17 red, cream ribbons with a hint of black and gold
Find Bevs NEW Ribbon bag here
Leave Bev a comment and she will pick two winners tomorrow.
Almost forget to remind you to visit the Inspiration blog here for loads and loads of ribbon magic!

making the ribbon advent special, that I have moved onto the New year.

Day 11 - Ribbon Advent
11/12/2012
Ooooh it is cold today!! I have been waiting to post until the children have come home from school.
Today Sam is performing in his first ever school play.
He came home from school a few weeks back, very excited, he was going to be a toy in the school play.
Bev, thinking that school Navity plays were not like they used to be, asked Sam what the play was called.
His reply was "Two Baby Cheeses"
Bev thought about this for a while, mmmmm strange name for a play - do you mean baby Jesus, Sam!
I hope you have already popped over to the inspiration blog to see what the DT girls have all made..............
