Lots of pretty colors. I especially like the blues. I can't remember the last time I used a length of ribbon. I mostly buy the ones already in a bow or use gift bags for any gifts I have to give.
Couldn't get motivated today, so had a rest day lol

Wonder what the next 20 years will bring. God bless all of you. Hugs.
I think of all the changes that have already come during my lifetime. I now can speak to a microphone and the words show up on the monitor screen. I can say print it and it does - printing both sides of the paper automatically [if I tell it to do so].
What a change from typing stencils and attaching them to a drum, filling the drum with ink, then turning the handle to print the bulletins each Sunday, followed by trying to get all the ink off of my hands, then folding the bulletins by hand.

I recall the old typewriters that that had those ribbons. Then there was the electric ones with the ball.

They were called Selectric typrwriters and I worked at the |Shell Laboratories in Houston in the 70's and was sent to learn a machine called a magnetic tape selectric typewriter which were the forerunners of the word processors. Two of us did the input on the selectric typewriters and another girl put them all together from the tapes we typed. Old memories. Hugs.

I remember those typewriters when they first came out.

Good for you AS for taking a rest day. That is a wise thing to do for both body and soul if you don't mind. And speaking of minds, as someone once said, A waist is a terrible thing to mind - or something like that.

We had Advent long before there were word processors and computers.

I remember those stencils and the awful fluid that stained your fingers purple. I also remember when the only way we could "talk" to computers was via punch cards. Office life has really become much more efficient. I doubt we'll recognize anything in 20 years - assuming we're around to see it!

I am planning to live to be 100 or die trying. [Only 22 3/4 years to go. Getting closer to me goal every day.]
Doing this colorful ribbon display I felt like I was looking at a shelf in my local Jo-Ann's fabric store. Really liked the colors in this one and it was easy too!!!
