Our challenge today -- Woodware USA Challenge #13 (WWUSAC13) -- is to use ribbon and/or bows in your creation. That should be a pretty easy one, don't you think? We all love ribbon, and I'm sure some of us have a multitude crying out to be used! So, grab the ribbon and play along.

Rules for the challenge:

1. A new creation linked directly using the Inlinkz system at the end of the post.
2. Only two entries per participant.
3. You can earn one entry into our monthly drawing for each card. If you use a Woodware USA image, you will receive an additional entry!
4. We are on the lookout for customer submissions to highlight on our blog. If you would like to be considered, please use a Woodware USA image in your creation and mark it with an asterisk!

Finally, today, we are saying goodbye to two of our team members -- Rachel Baird and Piali Biswas. They have been such an amazing part of this team. Their talent, enthusiasm, and hard work were so appreciated, and they will be missed. However, they will continue to dazzle us with their amazing creations in other avenues.

With goodbyes, we sometimes have hellos. And, we welcome two new members to our team -- Suzanne Schmidt and Alicia Ekermans. We are so excited to welcome them to our group, and we can't wait to see all of the fabulous projects they will come up with in the weeks to come! Stay tuned this week for more in-depth information about these two lovely ladies!
