Hi Lala, I am not sure how to go about ordering ribbons. My sons PIR is 11/12. It is ship 2 Div 952. Please let me know what to do. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Lalla. I was told to contact you regarding the ribbons. My daughter shipped 10/4; her PIR is 11/24; she is ship 02, ship 902. I look forward to hearing from you. How far is Brevard from Winston-Salem? Thanks.
Where can I see a picture of the ribbons? How do you take payments and if I were to order 1 or 4? Would the shipping be the same 2$ or is it 2$ per ribbon?
Hi Lala , I just saw the picture of your daughter and it brought tears to my eyes, she is beautiful and I know you are so proud of her. I miss my son and can't wait to see him.
My Ribbons came today!! Thank you so much! They are beautiful! My oldest took a picture of all of them! We are going to give one to my ex (the donkey), she thinks he will wear one! LOL if he doesn't he will keep it as a keepsake! :) Thank you soooo much!! I hope your money arrives on Monday!!!
hahaha No, it is a 100.00, can you send me my change?? LOL Thanks, I think she's pretty too!! When she was littler she was a blonde, but it got darker the older she gets, unless of course, she is out in the sun or swimming a bunch! :) I can't wait for my ribbons!! I saw the pic on 9/24 I think, they were all wearing ribbons, how proud that must make YOU!!!!
