Rainbow Ribbon Ring

Here are some great ideas for your ribbon ring!

  • Put a small address label on your ribbon ring tag with the manufacturer name and where you bought it. This is very helpful for designers as they can easily document the ribbon product on their layout submission.

  • Make a "to-go" rainbow ring. There is no way on this planet I could take (or would want to take) all of my ribbon to a crop. I have 9 FULL rings people! So, I just make a "to-go ring" I take a 5 or 6 tags from each color family and put in one ring..that gives me 10-15 ribbons per color.. I roll that ring in a hand towel and stuff it in my scrapbook tote. When I get to the crop, I hang my rainbow ribbon ring on the back of my chair! YAY!

Post CHA... what do I do with the extra rings?

Hi all! I have been sooooo busy filling the orders from CHA that I haven't had time to do anything else!

I have a ton of 1.5" rings that I used as giveaways at CHA (I punched a hole in my business card and put the card and a threaded ribbon tag on the metal ring... it was sooo cute).

Any ideas as to what to do with these 1.5" rings? I don't sell this size on the Ribbon Ring webiste. I suppose if people wanted to sub-divide their ribbon rings by brand or something, then these little rings would work.... should I add them to the website?

In fact, I have had demonstrators from CTMH and Stampin' Up use smaller rings to subdivide their ribbon... all of one collection on a small ring, and all the small rings on a big ring....

What do you think??

Day One at CHA in Chicago!

What a day! So many fun booths I wish I could leave mine and take a peek around! Lots of wonderful people came by the booth today. Some had even heard of Ribbon Ring. YAY!
A few people thought I was selling ribbon (I have all of my ribbon rings with me) and tried to buy them! "I'd like the pink one please"! I just laugh and tell them it took me years to collect all that ribbon and it is priceless...

Once I tell people about the ribbon ring, they get that "OH WOW!" look and the lightbulb goes off! I got a lot of compliments on the Ribbon Ring system and a lot of LSS that want to carry it. Hurrah!

Tonite I found a really great Italian restaurant called Olivetis. The homemade pasta is TO DIE FOR. I might go back tomorrow night too!

You know what is strange in Chicago? Their ranch salad dressing! At every restaurant it is the same ranch dressing and it is REALLY sweet, much different than I am used to! Funny how food is different depending on what area of the country you live in!

My feet don't hurt nearly as much as I thought they would, My pink cowboy boots are really keeping me comfortable. Looking forward to tomorrow. I hope lots more people stop by to say hi to me!

Ribbon Ring website redesign!

Check out our redesign at www.ribbonring.com!

I wanted a softer, more "scrapbook-y" look that reflect my personality, so I went with pink and black. YUMMY!

I am going to add a testimonial page, a link to this blog and a gallery of ribbon rings too!

Let me know what you think of the new design!
