I was looking at the ribbons I already won from past Lake County Fairs and realized that I started entering stuff eighteen (yipes!!) years ago. Including this year's ribbons, I have won seventeen ribbons since 1989. This year's win of five ribbons is my best showing in any year. I want to display the ribbons somehow in my craftroom/office. Don't know how yet, but I'll figure something out.

I really, really love that potholder and that vase of flowers. How cuuuuute....
And for showcasing, I totally suggest a shadowbox. Mostly cause I like to say "shadowbox".
