Top Ten Signs You’re A Ribbonaholic
April 27th, 2007 @ 2:23 pm by Mrs. Lovebug
10. Your ribbons are tied to things using other ribbons.
9. Words like “festoon” and “garland” enjoy daily use in your vocabulary.
8. Your friends and family staged an intervention that involved you shredding five yards of double-faced satin ribbon with dull pinking shears.
7. You can say “ribbon” in French, German, and Italian (from specialty orders overseas).
6. You get around your fiance’s “No More Ribbon!” rule by substituting things like shoelaces and quilling paper.
5. You find yourself eyeing the priest’s collar and wondering if he’d mind substituting it with a nice grosgrain.
4. The expression “tying the knot” makes you tingly all over, and it has nothing to with getting married.
3. You know about the “private reserve” room at the fabric and trim store, and you sneak there daily like a junkie.
2. You propose, with all seriousness, a ribbon-cutting ceremony as part of the wedding.
1. Your friends make cracks about you “coming unspooled.”

you’re hilarious. maybe you can help me…i’m having the hardest time cutting ribbon!! is it that i need new, sharp scissors or do i need a specific kind of scissor?
i thought i was a ribbonaholic..but this list makes me seem harmless!! 
ddalgi - what kind of ribbon are you trying to cut?
i find myself having an easier time cutting ribbon with sharper, slightly heavier scissors…not like LARGE fabric shears…but just regular ones..
i got these from Michaels and I like them..
