Ooooh...I do love ribbon

Morning folks....I had just the most fun Saturday morning at Simply Create....with the lovely Judy and of course Mrs Simply Create herself....the fabulous Jacqui and all those other lovely crafters sitting entranced by Judy's demo.    Judy is just the bees knees when it comes to colour work and made me realise how much I still have to learn.    Big thank you to Jacqui who treated us all to a yummy sandwich lunch from the Alford Bistro.....you are too kind Mrs but as always the time passes too quickly and as I left to go home it started to rain.   By the time I reached home the sun was out again but not in Alford.....they were hit by a huge thunder and lightning storm.....the main street was like a river and the store owners were kept busy piling up sandbags to stop the rain invading their premises and then just to add insult to injury they had a power cut.....poor Judy...demo-ing in the dark....now that is a bit of a challenge.   Will I pack the inflatable...the waders and a torch when it's my turn next Saturday.
And what am I doing today.....well I am sorting out some gorgeous ribbons that arrived in the post on Friday.....you all know how much I love ribbon.....in fact you could say I am a bit of an addict.....and even I was speechless when I opened the box.....



a bumper selection of gorgeous ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons......who will be sponsoring a monthly prize over at Penny Black Saturday for the last challenge each month starting on 26th June....you will have the chance to win 4 rolls of ribbon of your choice from their website...and the lovely Keith kindly sent this scrumptious box of goodies for the girls on the team.
And if you can't wait until the end of the month....why don't you pop over and check out the website...and see why Fantastic Ribbons are now the UKs leading craft and hobby ribbon supplier on a roll. Feast your eyes on  the new summer sizzler colours, the fruity dotted sheers and fabulous shaded roses on a cord....and the best news is....they have a unique discount system where the more rolls you buy the more you save....but   don't blame me if you have no willpower.  Off to pop these in the post for all our lovely Penny Black Saturday girls and I'm sure these beauties will pop up soon at a blog near you.
Me....I am all set to do battle with Mr Mojo....he has not been pulling his weight lately....so the creative conveyor belt has grind to a halt......and all those challenges await.....catch up with you all tomorrow if a big kick in the butt manages to get him going again.
