Over one million

15/01/2013

I had a bit of a shock yesterday, I have over a MILLION,
no silly, not ribbons (well almost!), but You Tube hits!!!!

1,028,016
people have watched my Ribbon Carnation Video

Cor!!!

Not Seen it - then you a can watch it here
I have floated back down to earth today.

Do you remember our Value bags?
A big bag of assorted ribbons all long lengths of about 1.30mtrs
with up to 14 different ribbons.
Well, they are back on the site and you can find them here
They are called Value bags because they are only £3 each
or
any 3 colours for £5
VALUE or what?!

Mollie has picked the winners of our Animal Cuties ribbons.
It took me a while to persade her to remove her orange swimming hat before I took the photo.
She has been moved into a higher swimming group this morning.
She has worn her new orange (bright) hat all day - hence the bad hair day!

Number 4 = Kara
Good Morning. I absolutely adore the cats and dog ribbon and the farm yard one.
In fact love them all. Must get some of the cord too as that is so useful.
Hope you have a good weekend and the snow doesn't arrive. xxx

Number 15 = Karen J
Loving the NEW animal ribbons, so cute, perfect on gifts for the little people!!

All the "K's" today - congratulations kara and Karen, please email rachie at rachie.craftyribbons@gmail.com
and she will send you a whole new family of animals.
Thank you to everyone that left us a super comment, much appreciated.

No snow here in Dorset

Hello wednesday - I love Ewe

09/01/2013

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

Hello wednesday is back - it has been a while!

Such a cute new little ribbon that I just had to design digi stamps, papers and even a sheet of toppers. The little red heart and the words in red on the ribbon have been puff printed so they are raised, you can "feel" the love!

I love Ewe Collection is exclusive to Crafty Ribbons and you can find it here

The two sheep on my card are the topper image, so I just cut it out and used little foam pads to raise it up. Getting very crafty with this bit - I used Glossy Accents to cover the heart so it would give a bit of shine.

Well there you go my first creation of 2013. I hope to see you all again next Wednesday but as my mojo is still away on holiday I will not promise anything. If anyone has any spare mojo or knows how to get it back, please do tell, mine has been gone for so long I am not sure it will ever return!!! boo hoo

Have a fab day

Voucher winners and Friday FREEBIE

04/01/2013

We have been having fun this morning.................

..................we needed a little help with mixing the narrow satin scrap packs here.

The best way is to tip all the ribbons out on the floor and give them a good mix up, but with Sydney and Mollies help......

..............it took rather a long time!

But they did pick the winners of our Christmas vouchers for me.

Sydney picked the winner for the Friday FREEBIE voucher of £20

Number 18 = Monica Lantham
Sad day for me left a job I loved (made redundant) but on the bright side more time for crafts

Oh dear Monica we are sorry to hear your news, but hopefully this will bring you a little cheer to the New Year

Mollie picked our Christmas Day voucher of £24

Number 4 = Alyson Chapman
A Very Happy Christmas to everyone - especially all you lovely people at Crafty Ribbons. Thank you for all the fab giveaways and for finding such wonderful products for us crafters.

With very best wishes xxx

Congratulations Monica and Alyson you are our first winners of the New Year! Please email us at craftyribbons@gmail.com so we can send you the details for your vouchers. Thank you for everyone that left us super Christmas messages. It has taken me a while to catch up, we had a massive storm in France on Christmas morning, which knocked out the 3G in the region. It only came back the day before we left to return home, maybe it was a good thing - I did NO internet work over Christmas, a proper rest!!

I almost forgot it is Friday today!
