Happy New Year...some ribbon ideas

What I always like to do when I have a party is to use ribbon.... this year I cut a half a yard of a variety of 5/8 inch ribbon and use them as wine charms on our champagne glasses for our New Years celebration. What I like about this is that it adds a little more "WOW" to those you are serving...everyone has their own glass, and it dresses up the occasion making everyone feel extra special. I like to incorporate a variety of colors and ribbons that complement the occasion. I used a lot of golds, browns, reds, and purples for tomorrow night celebration. Try it for your next gathering, I promise...it will be a small touch that will be remembered.

Another fun thing I am doing with my kids are gingerbread cookies made into an ornament tied with a ribbon to hang on the tree. I chose a 3/8 blue haze bubble dot ribbon...more whimsical and fun for the kids, however, we are making them for the adults too. We had fun decorating each one with the persons name and the year 2010...we are going to put them on our tree, and as people leave our home for the new year they will have a small party favor to go home with.
 These are just a few last minute ideas...something fun...and easy...
