    Okay, now I'm on the lookout for pink ribbons.  Wish I'd sent one to Checkum with my "LOVELY" pennant.  She could add it on couldn't she? 

    Wallymart, here I come!

    Perfect Sharon!!

    We've started our second page. It only took one year. (Almost to the day.) As you can see, I'm a genius at marketing.

    Anyone who still sends me ribbons, I'd be happy to put yours in an envelope and send to our first four recipients...... that way they can add to their boa's.

    I love this project.  I am not exactly an artsy crafty person, but I have made soda/bottle covers out of plastic canvas with "cancer sucks" and passed out when I went for chemo.   This scarf project is something I am going to "duplicate" - with your permission - and pass out to at least 2 ladies at the infusion area who are stage 4.   I thought of putting some "blank" ribbons and giving a permanent marker so others can autograph it.  Am I too old to tell of autograph books we used to have back in our teens?   

    And I will make some ribbons to send to you, Faith.   Gonna pm you in a minute for your address.

    Thank you ALL for doing this for others.   HUGS,  Nancy

    Bumping this so others can join in.

     I am experimenting with different kinds of ribbon and fabric markers.   So far, most "bleed" on the ribbon I have.   I could not find a laundry marker pen, but that is on my list.   

    Those who embroider could put your name and a message???    Just throwing out ideas.

    Try a Sharpie Nancy.  Or ask Faith 'cause I think she's got WAY more experience with this kind of stuff than I do.  I do however make great dog beds.

    What's embroider?WinkLaughing

    LOL, sharon...  I do not have a dog, but went to the Dog dress up halloween parade with my "invisible dog".   This is a very dog friendly town.  Your poochie looks so cute.

    NANCY!!!!! Your ribbons arrived yesterday.

    With all of my concern for Saint, I forgot to thank you.

    They're perfect.

    As you can see -- the only challenge is finding a writing utensil/pen/marker that works on the specific ribbon you've selected.

    Yours are beautifully done and will enliven the three scarves I have underway.

    Nancy...... I'll use as many ribbons as you send!!

    My goal is to get these next three scarves assembled on the drive back to OH at the end of the month. So anyone that can get me ribbons by about June 26th or 27th will be included on these next scarves.

    Faith: I have been cranking out neck coolers for my brother, who has several friends who are Vietnam vets.   Of course it is HOT and humid and only will get worse, so I have to get these sewn and mailed before 4th of July,   then I will do more ribbons.   I have Herceptin (next to last one) on the 25th, and maybe I can get some ribbons done if my neuropathy isn't acting up again.
