Fair Ribbons

For Angel Eyes nothing quite measures up to winning blue ribbons at the fair. She thinks about it all year long and is always looking for a unusual craft to enter. This year she entered a log cabin her dad showed her how to make. The hard part was keeping it intact in a house with four younger siblings. Somehow it managed to survive, and we are all so glad it did.
She also won a blue ribbon for a woven potholder. As soon as she entered her items she came home and began planning for next year!
I must admit, I enjoy entering too. Now what can I can different next year? I'll bet Angel Eyes will help me think of something.


I don't have pictures, but my daughter-in-law won a ribbon for her red onion marmalade, and my daughter won ribbons in dill pickle, cinnamon roll, and photography categories.
