Ribbon Oraments

I love this idea !

Line your ribbon up all prim and proper like my White ribbon ornament or give it a twist like my Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon Ornament!

This project is a great way to “recycle” and use up ribbon scraps. Watch for more samples this coming week.

Samples feature – Stampin ‘UP! Pretties Kit – pearls, hat pin, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, 1 1/4″ wide Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and Retired SU ribbon.

Length of ribbon to cut will vary with
a. How many loops you want on the pin
b. How close you want your loops to be or how full you want your pin to be
c. How wide you want your loops to be -most of mine shown are less than 1 ”
d. Whether you alternate beads, buttons, or other embellishments on the pin & how big those embellishments are.

Binder Clip Coaster Calendars

Fellow Su demo, Connie Babbert created these fabulous calendars! I think I will make a bunch of these for Christmas gifts!

clipped from inkspiredtreasures.com

I made a total of 25 of these coaster photo/calendar binder clip holders for the craft fairs. I sold out the first one, so made a few more. I only have 4-5 left from the second fair. I’ll be taking them with me to sell at the Retreat in a couple weeks. These were great to make, because again I am using up the tons of retired designer paper and ribbon I have stored. When the year is done, they can add another calendar or replace it with a photo.

Good Read, Book Recomendation

Laura Wiess, the acclaimed author who once brought us "a girl to walk alongside Harper Lee's Scout and J. D. Salinger's Phoebe" (Luanne Rice), brings us another memorable young woman, this one at the center of an extraordinary novel of how love ends, how it begins, and what it's worth to protect it...

All Hanna's wanted since sophomore year is Seth. She's gone out with other guys, even gained a rep for being a flirt, all the while hoping cool, guitar-playing Seth will choose her. Then she gets him -- but their relationship is hurtful, stormy and critical, not at all what Hanna thinks a perfect love should be. Bewildered by Seth's treatment of her and in need of understanding, Hanna decides to fulfill her school's community service requirement by spending time with Helen, her terminally ill neighbor, who she's turned to for comfort and wisdom throughout her life. But illness has changed Helen into someone Hanna hardly knows, and her home is not the refuge it once was. Feeling more alone than ever, Hanna gets drawn into an audiobook the older woman is listening to, a fierce, unsettling love story of passion, sacrifice, and devotion. Hanna's fascinated by the idea that such all-encompassing love can truly exist, and without her even realizing it, the story begins to change her.

Until the day when the story becomes all too real...and Hanna's world is spun off its axis by its shattering, irrevocable conclusion.

I just finished this book by Laura Wiess, it was an incredible read! I fell in love with the main characters, I laughed and I cried and when I finished this book, it left a mark on my heart permanently.
