With the New Year approaching I thought it an appropriate time to reflect on all the awesome reviews and mentions by some fabulous blogs & websites, about Chesapeake Ribbons' products.
I am very appreciative of our loyal customers and supporters.
Let's make this next year, 2012, even better! Of course I would love for all of you to support Chesapeake Ribbons but I also want to encourage everyone to support LOCAL businesses in and around your community & even online. Might I suggest my new favorite business (and friend) Monogram Lady?
If you would like to see our list of awesome reviews, click here.
If you would like to host a Chesapeake Ribbons Giveaway, send us an email now to be included in our schedule: chesapeakeribbons(at)gmail(dot)com.
Have a safe, happy, and wonderful New Year!

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," Bare Naked Ladies
I have nothing much to write this week (I just cannot keep up w/this blog thing...it's a chore for me).
So I am going to post some music that I love. What the hell, why not!
Here's my favorite Christmas song (although it's missing Sarah McLachlin which is a bummer but oh well). Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

PSU Scandal
Living outside Philadelphia, the Penn State Football program scandal is all over the news right now.
The whole thing is just atrocious. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
This is a very hot debate and political topic right now so I all I want to share is this:
Read the Grand Jury presentment recently posted on Philly.com to get all the facts....
and
I also want to know what happened to the legal and moral obligations of being a "mandated reporter" as a person working in a school, with kids? I came across this blog post written in MN so I am anxious to read the update.
What is your opinion on this whole scandal?

Apples, Cider, and Fall Leaves
If you love 'anything apples' than you will love the Apple Festival at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA.
My family has made it a tradition to attend the Apple Fest every year. We love the hot cider and vegetable soup that cooks in a huge black kettle over an open fire. Not to mention the delicious apple treats like fritters, dumplings, and apples dipped in caramel. YUM! Plus there are always great bands performing in the gazebo so the kids can dance and get some energy out.
So if you are looking for something to do this weekend, check it out....it's FREE.
Here are the details:
Sat., November 5 & Sun., November 6, 2011
10:00 am to 6:00 pm

Song of the Week: "Paradise" by Coldplay
I am really looking forward to Coldplay's new album Mylo Xyloto available this week (downloading to my Itunes library as we speak). I am HUGE Coldplay fan.
In fact, I have shared some special moments with Coldplay....I listened to their music on my Ipod while giving birth (TMI, I know). My kids are 3 and 6 years old. Crazy thing is a month after each were born, I saw Coldplay here in Philly. Maybe if I decide to have a 3rd....they'll schedule a tour date for the US??
Anyway....enjoy!

Oktoberfest 2011!
Ok so I have SO many pictures from Oktoberfest and while trying to sift through & decide which ones to post....our friend put together this AWESOME video and mailed to us!
There is even a great German drinking song playing (so turn down your speakers if you are in the office) to really give you a taste of what it was like to be in the beer tents. We sang this song over and over.
It was an amazing time and I recommend everyone try to get over there at least once. I canNOT wait to get back....whenever that may be.... Enjoy!
