Mahalo from me!

I feel like I've been posting and posting, but haven't taken the time to really thank all the kind people who stop by and take the time to leave a comment!  I've gotten to know so many of you, and I want you to know how much your kindness is appreciated!  So as a way to say mahalo (thank you), I'm packing this post full of freebies, goodies, and chances to win crafty stuff!  Look for the items in pink below;)

My first freebie is the cut file for the card above!  I think I'll link this up to the World Card Making Day gallery!  Just click here or the image below to get the Studio cut file.

The second freebie is an updated ink comparison chart (pdf file)!  I originally posted this last year, and lately I've seen a lot of traffic on this file.  Looks like people are looking for ink!  Hope it helps!  If anyone has ink info to add, let me know and I'll add it:) I'm a Fresh Ink girl myself:)

The next goodie is not so much a freebie, but a little bonus discount code for Avery Elle!  Use the code "RIBBONGIRL" and get 15% off your order!  It expires on October 13th, so get over there now!!!  

Now let's get to the giveaways!  

The first giveaway is for a box of assorted ribbons!  You may or may not know the origin of my blog's name.  For 6 years when my boys were little, my sister and I ran an online ribbon business.  We dealt in all types of ribbon including some we designed ourselves!  I still love and hoard tons of ribbon!  The funny thing is I love ribbon for everything but cards, lol!  So this giveaway will contain as much ribbon as I can stuff in a USPS box!  {This giveaway is for US folks only}  

The second giveaway is my BOX OF SHAME, lol!  It sounds terrible, doesn't it?  Have you ever bought something you loved at the store, but couldn't make it work at home?  This box is full of really wonderful things that *I* couldn't get to work for ME.  I tried, I really did.  So some of these things are new and some have been sampled (lol!)  I'm passing along this box in hopes that it's true potential will be unlocked!  Here' s just a little of what's in the BOX OF SHAME!  {This giveaway is for US folks only as well}

And not to ignore the lovely international folks who come to visit my blog, I'm offering a international ONLY giveaway!  For my international lovelies, I'm offering a $15 GC for the Avery Elle website!
