Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings
Now, be sure to leave some love at all the stops along the way. Your comments are most appreciated!
At the end of the hop, comment on this post answering the question below for a chance to win our May Ribbon Club assortment along with the other goodies shown below. All the items can be found at the Really Reasonable Ribbon website. We have a huge variety of Candi embellishments and Pearls to go with your ribbon.
Our question of the month is:
How much time do you get to devote to your favorite crafting activity each week?
If you are anything like me, the answer is 'not enough'!! I find that I'm so much happier when I'm able to make time to play and I'm working to make that happen this year. That being said, some weeks it doesn't really happen. How about you?
Our winner will be selected from the numbered comments on this post on Wednesday, 5/16 using random.org. Be sure to check back on Wednesday evening to see if you are our lucky winner.
Thanks so much for hopping with us today. We hope you'll stop by and so some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon soon.
~Bonnie~
I love Laura's Card wonderful use of the ribbon, so glad she joined us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day ladies
Had trouble on Misty's blog, but left comments on all the others - great work ladies, a lot of wonderful projects. I try to craft for an hour a day, hopefully longer, but it doesn't always happen thanks to 4 kids (11,5,4 & 1). But if I can't craft, looking at blogs keeps the craft bug happy :)
ReplyDeleteI finished the blog hop and trully enjoyed it. What a great Mother's Day gift. Over the past few months my crafting time has been very limited due to a heavy work load and running my teens to their various activities. Because of this I have not had a weekly craft time, but rather have sporadic burst of activity. Recently I have been pushed to make time when my young niece and nephew are here. They always ask to make a card for mom, and occasionally other people in their lives. It is fun to be able to share with them. I hope to get in some crafting today as a special treat to myself. Happy Mother's Day to all!
ReplyDeleteGreat work All and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!
ReplyDeleteObviously the answer is not as much as I'd like to. But I manage to squeeze a couple of hours in between my morning job and my other to dos.
Wish it were more!!
Love & Light & Inspiration to All!!!
Beautiful hop and I love this month's selection! I miss my mailings, but I may have to rejoin as I was always the happiest on the days my shipment would be sent! I spend maybe 4 hours a week crafting, which isn't enough but it's all the time I have right now. I work full time and craft normally on the weekend to relax. Love the hop! Thanks for sharing!

What lovely projects! Pink is my favourite colour!
ReplyDeleteAfter starting on a new job this year, I only get weekends to hit the crafting table. And I owe it all to Hubby dearest for helping out with the house chores so I can still have my playtime. :)
love the hop! I spend a couple hours a week, I would guess. More if I am doing something big!

Bonnie, I'm loving my first blog hop with RRR! Great projects!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, all the ideas on the hope were really pretty cool! I got a lot of new ideas for using my ribbons -- love it! And I'm kinda surprised everyone didn't answer the question the same way -- not enough time! That's my truth. Things are changing for me though as I'm job hunting, but I'm sticking with not enough!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have blog hopped with RRR. What a talented and eclectic group -- I enjoyed everyone's projects. As for crafting, I have a full time job so I only indulge for 2 or 3 hours on the weekends. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun hop and fabulous creations!! I belong to the Ribbon Club and it is so much fun to receive the ribbons in the mail! Always a pleasant surprise! I am fortunate enough to be retired, so have all the time I want to devote to my crafting. Thanks for the fun blog hop!
ReplyDeleteAmazing hop, once again!
ReplyDeleteAwesome hop!!!! I don't work so I get to spend as much time as I want each day....tfs
ReplyDeleteAwesome projects and very inspiring! I don't feel like I ever get enough crafty time. I usually spend about 5 hours or so on the weekends in my scrap room. I would love to spend at least double that but I just have way too many other things to juggle.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Beautiful projects presented by each designer. Thanks for hosting. The answer to your question.... For me I really only get 2-3 hours per week for actually working on projects. But I spend every lunch hour viewing fantastic blogs and sketching ideas.
ReplyDeleteWonderful hop...love this months ribbon set! I try to get a least one card a day done. Hours I can't say, it may take 1-2 hours to make one card!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this set!
ReplyDeleteI never have enough time for cards. I generally put aside a couple hours a week to work on my hobby. I always have more ideas than I have time!
Beautiful ribbons and everyone did a fabulous job! Hugs! Leah Ann Thanks for the inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteLaura's card makes the absolute best of that pink and black combo! Love, love, love it. Have already received my May club assortment and am using it faster than I could have imagined. Lovely ribbons this month. I'm off to hop.
ReplyDeleteOoops, forgot to answer the question. I actually get to devote an hour or so each day during the week and more than that on weekends. But no matter how much time is available, I could always use just one more hour... :-D
ReplyDeleteI wish I dedicated more time to crafting but unfortunately I'm a holiday/special occasion crafter more times than not even though I love to spend time in my craft room.

I don't get to craft everyday but I usually do something most days I'm home. I'm a SAHM so that's pretty often. I take advantage of time when my baby is asleep and my kids are at school. On average 5-6 hours per week.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun hop. It was great to see all the creative ways to use ribbon. These colors were great...probably my all time favorite combination! I probably spend tons of hours researching, reading blogs, shopping etc., but only 5-6 hrs. on average a week crafting.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say that I had all the time in the world to do my passion, which is card making. Today I had that. My husband gave me the entire day in my room where I was able to create several cards for different challenges. Happy Mother's Day to me. Love that man, but for the most part I get about 5 hours a week. This was a great blog hop. Love, love, love the usage of the RRR ribbons.
ReplyDeleteFirst off Hope your day was great whether you are a MOM or not, second...the hop was awesome, some real talented ladies. Third... I do not get nearly enough time and it varies week to wekk cause i babysit my grand son, but I try to get in a few hours at least a week.

I get the most crafting done while the kids are at school or during the wee hours of the night. But I prefer daytime better because the sunlight shines through making it so much more pleasant.

I average about 8 hours a week.
ReplyDeleteThese blogs were all so wonderful. Great inspiration .
ReplyDeleteI get to "play" as many hours a day as I wish. Isn't that great!!
Such a fun blog hop, loved everyone's creations. And my answer is yes, not enough time to do what I love, probably 6-8 hours a week.
ReplyDeleteLoving the black and pink combo :-)
ReplyDeleteAs I work full time there are never enough hours in the day to craft, but my OH has a time consuming hobby too so we both try and make at least an hour or so each evening for them as a wind down at the end of the day and also at least a day at the weekend although this is never enough, but better than nothing I guess!
xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx

Not enough! There just does not seem to be enough hours in a day! Great card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a colorful pretty card.

It depends from week to week but I try to create for at least 5 hours a week- sometimes all in one day and sometimes in a few minutes here and there. rlovew1976 at yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI am indeed like you.. never enough... I spend a great deal of time searching for wonderful ideas and then spend countless hours doing my best to create!
ReplyDeleteI usually spend a couple nights a week after supper until bedtime crafting. I also spend additional time, a little almost every day, reading blogs & watching tutorials.

I spend 6-8 hrs a week on my crafts, would love to spend more time. Great ideas from your design team and beautiful ribbons.
ReplyDeleteThis has truly been a stunning hop, wow, so much inspiration from all the ladies, absolutely enjoyed myself, so thanks to alll !!
ReplyDeleteps:; could not leave a comment on Bonnie and Tilly's blog, as soon as i click on the comment button, i get this awful white page, arghhhhhhhhhhh, but been there, seen the projects and thought they were stunning!!
have to agree with you, not nearly enough time, more so when work is so hectic as at the mo, too bushed to craft at night, so that leaves me with the weekend and then i want to cram everything into a few hours, lol, soooooooooo, not nearly enough.........hehehehe
Thanks again for a lovely hop and lotsa luv
Of late, I've hardly been getting any time to craft. I'm just looking forward to the summer vacations to craft to my hearts content.
