Come on, how can it be the first of March.  Where has January and Feburary gone? This year is whizzing away.

Something else is wrong as well......Crafty Ribbons have been exhibiting at retail events for ummmm 15years.  And in all those years we are never ready for a show, the exhbition stand is always still being restocked as it makes it's way onto the van/lorry/trailer/van (what ever we are using at the time!). Or worst case, we restock it on the set up day of the show.  It does not seem to matter how much time we allocate to the stand, it is never enough.   Well..............A FIRST FOR CRAFTY RIBBONS........our stand was completed and wrapped for transit yesterday afternoon.  It proudly sat in our loading bay waiting for the van.....hooray!!!  Well done Rachie and the girls, but I will now expect this as the norm for Olympia and Birmingham!!!!!!

I have also found two willing replacements for my trip to Glasgow today.

Mollie and Sam just love the van, I had a brain wave, let them go to Glasgow in the van and I will fly!!!!  Yeah. Sam would tell Tony which way to go and Mollie would not stop talking - perfect.

Once we get these little guys out of the cab we will be ready to leave, the van is all fully loaded and secured in place for its long trip up north, Cumbria tonight and on to Glasgow tomorrow.  We have lots of NEW ribbons for visitors to the Hobbycrafts at the SECC to feast their eyes on, lots of cards and goodies to give inspiration. 

Carol your bunny is a real sweetie, he is adorable.

I had a strange long parcel sent to me, I thought someone had sent me a number plate!

Carol had not sent a number plate silly, but a Easter album, it is loooooong! Wow it is wicked, so long it was to wide for my back drop.

Ribbon is just perfect to add that little extra detail on photo albums.

This is fab Carol, thank you.

Ooooh I love these colours Donna, very Easterish - is that a word?).

I have not caught Donna's works of art very well on camera, these chicks are 3D and been created by decoupage, layering the image. Fantastic Donna what skill.

All these goodies will be on display in Glasgow this week, Thursday through to Sunday, come and say hi.
