Holidays are Coming!
OMG it's that time of year when we pull out all the stops on gift giving, shopping and decorating!!
My daughter's birthday is November 13th and she was 6 weeks old on Christmas Day, so this day has always been my wake up call to start making a list and checking it twice and, of course, it includes decorating supplies! Holiday ribbon is always at the top of my list. I use it to embellish ornaments, cards, bows for gifts, garlands and tree(s)....... What will you do this year?
Here are some fun designer projects for inspiration and, of course we used buttons and ribbon!

Spring has Sprung!
It's said that "if March comes in like a lamb it will go out like a lion",

April isn't far behind, so it's not too early to start planning our Easter decorations. Our designers have come with up some fun and easy to make projects you can make with ribbon, buttons and maybe some embroidered embellishments........ so take a look and Spring forward.........
