Welcome back to 2009!!! Need some ribbon?

Hope you all had a wonderful summer break (if you live in this half of the world!) and a lovely Christmas and New Year all round..

We had some sadness on New Years Day with the passing of our old doggy Holly, Staffordshire Bull Terrier Extraordinaire.... She was elderly and unwell, so it was not unexpected, but so very sad nonetheless....

Also, sending prayers up, and thinking of all the people in Victoria, Australia (and beyond) who have been affected by the terrible bushfires - so many lives lost, homes and even whole towns destroyed, brave souls still fighting the fires in earnest.... Praying for rain, and optimum weather conditions, and just plain old miracles to bring relief to all who are struggling down there...

To start off the year, I have 2 ribbon shares underway, so if you would like some 2.5cm (1") wide Double Stitched ribbon from the Summer Mini Catalogue (see page 20), you can share in the 3 colours (Chocolate Chip, Rose Red and Bashful Blue), receiving a third of a roll of each colour for $19.95. I can post your share to you if you are not local to me here on the Central Coast for an additional postage cost of around $1.50.

Here is some of the Rose Red Double Stitched ribbon, on the special book I made for my son's 5th grade teacher last year... Also used is the Bali Breeze Designer Series Double Sided paper, Pewter Jumbo Eyelets, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White and Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, and light blue Chunky Glitter....

I am also sharing the Taffeta ribbon from the Idea Book and Catalogue... it comes in Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Basic Gray, Mellow Moss, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink. You'll get an 8th of a share, which will give you a bit over 1 meter of each colour for $12.95, but if you want a double share, just let me know...
This is the Always set from the Spring Mini catalogue - hopefully it will be in the new IB&C in April! I have tied some of the Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon the to the heart image., which is stamped in Chocolate Chip, and sponged in Purely Pomegranate and Groovy Guava. It is layered on a strip of Groovy Guava (stamped in Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava and Chocolate Chip), and layered again onto a Chocolate Chip piece..

Email ASAP to be involved in these Ribbon Shares! cherylandrews@optusnet.com.au
Bye for now!
