Hi Lala,I have been seeing your beautiful ribbons and I am interested in buying some.My daughter will be graduating 10/29/10, she is Ship6 Div 949.
Thanks so Much!

There is all kinds of info on here...and sometimes we don't know what is correct! I have made it a project to try and figure out the BStations schedules! HA! I created 2 PIR groups and both had Thurs nights and actually Sunday nights too. We can only pass along what we hear from others on here since I don't think the Navy will tell us! So that means, sometimes we are wrong.....me, lots of times! HA! You too have a great weekend! Love the riboons you do....beautiful! -Dianne
Hey, Lalal: Just a correction: Most of the BStations actually start on Thurs night the week before PIR. I have been following the BStations schedules for a while now, and although for small groups (5 or 6 divisions) they may not start until PIR week, for average to larger groups, they start on Thurs nights. Sometimes they skip Sunday nights too! Just depends. This PIR group would have gone last night but went Wed instead because of PIR yesterday for the 9/2 group. And 9/2 had PIR early because of the holiday weekend! Confusing, but I'm finally getting it! -Dianne
Lady L,
I received my ribbons today and I absolutely LOVE them! Tomorrow I'll be sending them to family that can't attend. I know they'll be wearing them on the 10th, in support of our Sailor! Thanks for your creativity, you are a real gem!!!!
Ms. LP
Lala, I received our ribbons today! They are wonderful! My daughter loved them and they were even larger and more beautiful than we expected!!!!! You're wonderful!!!! Thanks bunches!

MRS LALA, The AMAZING ribbon queen!!!! I just recieved my ribbons. YAY!!!!! They look beyond AMAZING! Rich and very tasteful, better then i ever imagined.... Thank you!!!
Sincerely Tina Szegedi
Hi Lola, Hey i sent a few of the other navy mom's from my div. to you. They weren't sure what color they were getting? Hopefully you caught that they're in the same div. as i am and that you're making them the same color as mine. Could you let me know? Thanks. Tina
Absolutely love your pictures. Thanks for sharing. :D I can't wait!!!!
I seen a poster board, what's behind the oreo theme? When did you make your board? were you at the meet and greet when this pic was taken?
Lala-will the ribbon come in the mail to me or will it arrive @ my PIR? just learning about the ribbons and think they are great!!!!!!!!! Your daughter is very beautiful and the pictures are wonderful!!!!
hey Lala, sorry it took so long to write back, I'm somewhat of a computer dinosaur, been upset at Courtney leaving, then had to deal with our car, it was broken into while at Meps last week at our hotel, and then had company from FL all week this week. been a bumpy ride. I know well the brevard area, we have a friend that lives there, as well as someone in Pisgah forest. Courtneys PIR is 9/2 and trying to get it all orchestrated to get there, our usual pet sitter will be out of town for the long weekend and so trying to get that worked in, plus driving vs flying (as it turned out, a no brainer, would cost well over double to fly, rent a car, etc, so drive it is, 12 hours (not too bad). I guess you are there at this writing, I hope you are having a BALL, and please write me and let me know all about it!!! Peggy
Lala, I am not the Jane that ordered the ribbon but if you feel like making two more, I am coming to the meet and greet on 7/22. My son's name is Adam and he is in division 815. If you are not making ribbons that's ok, . I don't know how you are doing it. I am having enough trouble with my sash. Take care.
Had difficulty with my computer so needed a new thread post. Looks like you could start a business with the ribbons based on the number of people who are wanting one. That being said, is it too late to get one for my Binker? Let me know.

Hi Lala!
A few things of information, etc. I am new to this since I just found it yesterday--one whole week before graduation! Whhoooo Hooo. I noticed you are going I-75 to New Albany. That is not an accurate direction (if you are not being specific). You will take -75 to Lexington and then I-64 to Louisville where the junction with I-65 occurs. I-75 comes no where near -65. When I'm not in NY, I live in Louisville. I also think I noticed your financial situation. Let me know. If you need a place to stay, I have an empty house in Louisville. You could stay there if you need a stopover stopover spot. If private talk can occur through here, we can talk further.
Hi Lala, You have a beautiful daughter & these are great pictures! Congratulations! I am interested in the ribbons you are making, do you have a picture of them that I could see?
