Thank you! Thank You!<BR/><BR/>I was "Oh my goshing" all over the living room when my son and hubbie rushed in to see what all the frenzied excitement was about. When they realized it was the ribbon they both looked at each other, shook their heads, backed out and said together "Oh my Gosh - is that all!"<BR/><BR/>Is that ALL??? I just haven't been watching the post everyday for 2 weeks since I learned how to use paypal. I had to stop myself several times emailing you to say "Are you sure you sent it? Did put the right addie on it?) Is that all??? I was so overjoyed I took it to work with me and showed the kids in my class. The boys looked at my weired but the girls got into it and humored me. :) :) :)<BR/><BR/>So WHY DO I LOVE RIBBON?? I have heaps of ribbon saved from so far back they have gone out of fashion but I still hold to them. I fell in love with the polka dot ribbons when I saw them used in so many blogs, I was so green with envy. I searched NZ high and low for any sign of that type but sadly no. They have most of what you advertise but not one retailer or wholesaler had the polka dots. <BR/><BR/>I was over the moon when I saw you advertise them in your blog because of course I go there all the time to drool and dream.<BR/><BR/>I love the way they add something special to a project whether it is in floral art, quilting or my daughters pig tails. I love them anytime and always try to incorporate them in my work. So thank you, thank you again.<BR/><BR/>I can keep going but my daughter is yelling at me to take her to work. <BR/>So, bye for now - LissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480859004636515982.post-80715501249421444442007-04-30T23:40:00.000-04:002007-04-30T23:40:00.000-04:00I love ribbon because it is pretty, it add a lot t...I love ribbon because it is pretty, it add a lot to cards and scrapbook pages, and it makes cards look like you took a little extra time and put a little more love into them.<BR/><BR/>I just got into primas but I like them because they also add a lot to a card.<BR/><BR/>I keep my ribbon in many places: in jars, in boxes and in drawers.

I must admit...Hi Jody,<BR/>Thanks for this cool contest. I must admit that I am not a Prima junky yet as I have never owned one. Gosh, aren't I brave to say that! LOL I have seen them in the scrapbooking stores and am now seeing them on people's cards. They are really pretty! I became more aware of them after reading about people who have them and love them in the VSN hostess chat and them Karen (Kthaman) mentioned your blog and here I am.<BR/> So, to answer your first question - I love ribbon because of all the different colours, textures, widths, etc. They come in so many different designs there is no end to how one can use them. Ribbons put the finishing touches on a card or a scrapbooking page! <BR/>I use ribbons on my cards as I said, to finish the design, although having said that, I also use ribbon to inspire the direction of the design of a new card or the colours I would use. I am thinking that Prismas will do the same sort of thing for me as well.<BR/> I will be storing my ribbons up on a wall soon, as my DH is making me a rack which will let me hang the rolls ribbon on a dowel. When I get primas I think I will do as I saw Taylor's (Stagccva)collection of Primas - It looks like she used the spice jars from IKEA. What an excellent idea as you can see the colours so easily and clearly.<BR/> As far as how much ribbon I have - I must have around 50 rolls of ribbon so far. :) And as I said at the beginning - no Prismas at all.<BR/>Again thank you for the opportunity to enter your contest and for reading all this. I am sometimes kind of long winded. *smile*<BR/><BR/>Gerri aka olika in SCSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480859004636515982.post-11012093271610599672007-04-30T13:41:00.000-04:002007-04-30T13:41:00.000-04:00I love ribbon because it is so much fun to embelli...I love ribbon because it is so much fun to embellish cards and scrapbook pages with it.

Actually, I love ribbon cause it makes everything prettier. It is the perfect solution to any card that is "missing" something.<BR/><BR/># why you love Prima flowers<BR/>Because they come in the most adorable packaging ever. The actually stick well to your projects (unlike the Bazzil flowers I bought too). They are girly and fun!<BR/><BR/># what you do with your ribbon and flowers<BR/><BR/>Hoard them . . . and occasionally use one or two flowers or pieces of ribbon on a project when it is for someone especially cool!<BR/><BR/># how you store your ribbon and flowers<BR/><BR/>Flowers are kept on an ikea shelf with a lip -- right above all my loose stamps from other companies besides SU ones. Ribbon is kept on a metal bar mounted on the wall, and in drawers, and all over my desk, and everywhere . . . lol<BR/><BR/># how much ribbon and/or flowers you have<BR/><BR/>I have the best stock of ribbon because a sweet girl who is addicted to it sends me some from time to time (hmmmmm, I wonder who that could be?) and because Hobby Lobby is close to me now and every time they put it on sale, I cannot resist and end up getting a roll or two (that also goes for when they put the American crafts rolls on sale), and since I actually use it a lot -- I find I can rationalize buying lots and lots more.<BR/><BR/>I have less flowers because since I tend to hoard them I cannot rationalize purchasing them.

The color combinations on ribbons give ideas of what to do when making cards. <BR/><BR/>Why do I love Primas - they add a whole new look to craft projects. <BR/><BR/>What do I do with my ribbon and flowers - like others have said - I hoard it. I haven't had a lot of time to create lately, but the plan is to use it on cards, altered lunch boxes, anything I can find and want to create.<BR/><BR/>How do I store my ribbon and flowers - The flowers are still in the packaging from one of your shares and the tube I purchased. Some of the ribbon is kept on the original rolls and in clear storage boxes. Miscellaneous yardages are wrapped around clothespins and stored by color families. <BR/><BR/>How much ribbon and/or flowers do I have - I have only a few flowers. I participated in one of your Daisy Crazy share (love the daisies) and one tube I purchased at the LSS. Ribbon is a whole other matter. I didn't realize how much I had until I started organizing.

As I was growing up, I recycled them on presents I gave, and kept them in a little cigar box we had in the house for some reason (nobody in my family smoked). <BR/><BR/>Nowadays my collection won't fit in a cigar box anymore, lol. I keep them in plastic containers intended for holding ornaments. They stack together and can be added onto as needed. I also use the SU ribbon holders exclusively for SU ribbon. I participated in another share and for those they are just sitting in a jar I bought at Ikea. <BR/><BR/>I use ribbons mostly for packaging and paper projects. I love to use it to cover the paint can and provocraft tin handles, or making them the handles on card purses. <BR/><BR/>I don't have too many Primas (only 4-5 bottles) and I like to use them as embellies particularly on decorate paper mache boxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480859004636515982.post-63504458022360717952007-04-29T00:12:00.000-04:002007-04-29T00:12:00.000-04:00Jody, how cool - thanks!

I've recently organized my stamp room and have begun storing my larger pieces of ribbon (like from YOUR ribbon shares!) in magnetic spice tins. 10 yards wind up nicely and they have a hole in the side for pouring the spices which works really well to have the tail sticking out for easy use! <BR/>Flowers - I only recently received some cool prima-type flowers as a gift but haven't used them yet - there are about 100 in the jar.
