A Blog Hop and 500th post!

The Blog Hop starts tomorrow today and continues through November 15th. 

Each Blogger received this little packet of ribbon

filled with Bordeaux Silk Melange, Cherry Stitched French Cotton, Barn Red Grosgrain, and a simple 12mm Cream Herringbone. 

They also received ribbon of their choosing for their special projects; here's a sampling of what they ordered:

I'm really excited by the variety of ribbon each blogger received.  Not only lots of Pom Pom trim, but the new French cotton,  Organdy Ruffle, Metallic Ric-Rac  and even two yards of Fun & Flirty lace will be used in someones project!

Amber @ Life in Color will kick off the Blog Hop tomorrow Today! Wednesday November 7th with the fabulous projects she's been working on!

Followed by Ashley @ Cherished Bliss Thursday, November 8th

Lindsey @ LRstitched Friday, November 9th

Christina @ The Sometimes Crafter Saturday, November 10

Jen @  Betty Crocker Ass Sunday, November 11

Katy @ No big dill Monday, November 12

Melissa @ All buttoned up Tuesday, November 13

And I'll be back Wednesday, November 14 to share my crafty endeavors.  I'd like to say these crafts are completely different from my other projects, but you may notice simliarities.  I just can't seem to get away from what I love; texture and strong lines!

Each blogger will be giving away a $25 gift certificates to The Ribbon Jar!  If you'd like a chance to win, simply visit all the blogs on the hop and leave a comment, telling us your favorite ribbon on their site during the blog hop. This contest is open to all readers, domestic and international. For more chances to win please visit the other blogs on our hop. Good luck! 

By the way... This is my 500th post! Its hard to believe I've shared so much.  I haven't always been the best blogger, especially when I check out others and see gorgeous photos, wonderful crafts and how well they express themselves.  But when I look back I must admit it's fun to see snippets of my life and things I have accomplished.
