I suppose this day is a little bittersweet for me. I am sorry to see the 2011-12 Ribbonistas term come to an end. They are truly such a talented group of women. Not only that, they are wonderful people and so easy to work with. In my heart, they will always be May Arts Ribbonistas. So, a Big Thank You and a very fond farewell to these ladies.
Now, on to the sweet part of this post. 
I am so very excited to welcome the 2012-13 Ribbonistas. Looking at these teams, I know it is going to be an amazing term full of fun and inspiration. I am so honored to have such an abundance of talent on the May Arts Design Teams. I cannot wait to get some ribbon in to each of their very talented hands!
Below is a link to both of our design teams. Each page willl give you a list of the designers on the team. If you click on their names, you will find their bio. This includes a headshot, a bit about them and some photos of their favorite projects.
Now, I did say this was a giveaway, right? All you have to do to win is leave plenty of comments, welcoming our new designers!
For an extra chance to win, post a comment on our Facebook Page too.
The prize, you ask?
3 spools of ribbon from our new releases! Your choice!
I will also include some goodies from my own stash, that have been generously sent by our Partners in Craft!
I will select two winners on Monday August 6th. One from the blog and another from facebook.
So, start leaving those comments and help me give a very warm welcome to the May Arts Ribbonistas!
Good luck y'all!
xoxo!
