"Hi just love your ribbon and the site is very helpful. Contest? 1. How about a theme like Halloween,Thanksgiving,Christmas, etc. and you would have to make an item using ribbon for that holiday. 2.How about a contest to highlight specific kinds of ribbon Velveteen,Two Tone,Stitched Edge etc.where you would have to use it on a project. 3. Maybe a contest to use a given number of different kinds of ribbon on a project. 4. How about a designated craft like create an ornament, a mini scrapbook,or home decor item. 5. Okay one more . what about a specific size of ribbon on s project. Thanks for letting me rattle on.This gave me ideas. I'm on my way tomorrow to pick up ribbon at Archiver's . Thanks."
