I have been sitting here at the computer for a while now, just staring at the screen.  I think I must have the Friday blues, my mind has gone blank and my fingers seemed to be unable to type.

O.K. I disappeared for a coffee and I am back, and raring to go!!  As it is Friday it must be FREEBIE time.  What little delight shall I offer my dedicated followers.  As our blog is not run using blogger we are unable to have a follower list, which is rather a shame.  We have followers on our Challenge blog (here) and we had a very excited Karen yesterday.  Mandy picked a random follower to give a ribbon prize to, Karen picked the contemporary Bev's bag.  Which was wonderful as she had only just received our mailing about Bev's bags and had not decided which one to buy!!  I sent it to you yesterday Karen so with luck, it should be arriving on your doorstep this morning!!  So why not become a follower of the Challenge Blog, you never know YOU could be the next random winner!

Lost my train of thought, oh yes Friday FREEBIE Prize, well we did Bev's bags last week.........................so..........................how about......................some of these little beauties..................

..........these new ribbons are going really well - but do not worry, Rachie has made sure we will have stock for Hobbycrafts at the N.E.C. in Birmingham next week.  Anyone coming?

For a chance to win some of these new treasures just leave us a comment and we will pick a winner on Monday.

The sun is out today so I am hoping I can get a little bit of photography done.  Yes we had some NEW ribbons delivered in the week, and I would love to be able to share them soon.

All the Top Five Challenge ribbons were posted out yesterday, so fingers crossed you will have your fab five christmas ribbons to play with this weekend.  Any ideas what you are going to make?  I still have a few creations to share from the New England Challenge and these are from Lucy.

Lucy this knocked me out when I opened the box - it is awesome.  I love drift wood and am always dragging Tony to the beach for a bit of beach combing.  He is never that impressed as he really dislikes sand!!

A very simple elegant card Lucy, great bow.

I really like this card, it shouts CHRISTMAS to me!

I had never thought of mixing our Bling Eyelash with the New England ribbons Lucy, but the colour match is perfect.  Well done you.

I believe I have one or two parcels still to open from this Challenge, i will get these photographed and share them with you next week.  Thanks for the inspiration Lucy, I do hope you had fun playing.

We hope you have an awesome weekend, and lots planned.  Tony and I have been invited to a Halloween party, all I have to do now is try to persuade Tony to dress up!!!  To be honest I think I would have a better chance of turning the moon PINK.
