Winners of December challenge .... and closing down sale

Crafters I just wanted to say it's been a pleasure to get to know you all during our various challenges since 2010 and just to let you know that The Ribbon Girl store will close as soon as the remaining stock has been sold.  If you are looking for a bargain, why not pop over and treat yourself, there is 50% off everything in the store as well as a section where you can buy full rolls/packs at very attractive prices.  There are still more rolls of ribbon to add as soon as I get time.
