Friday Freebie - Gingham

 
 
Welcome everyone to the start of our Friday FREEBIES -
Rather then leaving a comment we are asking you to leave your name to the linkz.  We would still LOVE you to leave us a happy comment!
Todays Friday FREEBIE is a bundle of these
 
gingham ribbons
 
You can find the 10mm on our website here 21 stunning new colours.
I think we now have the largest selection of Gingham ribbon colours on the web - 36 awesome.
I had a bit of a drama getting them on the website yesterday - I blew the website up! 
First the website crashed and then the operating system went offline.
Tony phoned the server company to see if they had an issue - nope everything fine.
He then tried our IT guys, as I heard him on the phone,
I handed him a note.....I have Laryngitis and can only croak you see
 
"I think it was something I did"
 
Yep it was me. I had created a loop in the system and the website had run out of memory tying to load.
Thankfully we were only offline for about 30mins but it seemed much longer.
So please enjoy the new Gingham ribbon colours, a lot of blood, sweat and tears (mine) went in getting them to you!!!

I am working on the 5mm and 15mm today
Wish me luck!!

Hello ribbon lovers
I am feeling naughty today, a little mischievious!
All because I have been locked in a room for what feels like weeks.
Well not really locked in, but I have had to be very focused......
I have been designing our NEW range of Spring Ribbons.
Ooooooh we are really excited............
..........NO sorry I am not allowed to spill the beans yet.............but I have been with Aliens!
A little bit more of a tease.........here are some of the NEW gingham ribbons.

Systems are go

First day back in the warehouse. 
We had a few teething problems this morning. 
The power cuts over the Christmas shut down had disabled our internet.
Not a simple matter of clicking the switch back on. 

The girls were all standing round with nothing to do..........
without the internet we cannot access our website or print off orders.

Yuks! So a quick trip home with the order papers to do an emergency print run.

The girls were happy when I returned with an armful of orders.....

...they are working as fast as they can to dispatch them.

Thankfully we are fully back up and running, all systems are go!
