to the touch. Since I didn't have ribbon scraps lying around, I used a bunch of red
and green fabric scraps my mom gave me and mixed in some hot pink and

another one for Halloween! (Shocker, right?) I think next time I'll use all fabric.

printables too - like a party invite and place cards.

Even made my bathroom festive. (I really just
