i would totally be up for a ribbon swap =) i love ribbon and i love michaels and target because in their little dollar sections they almost always have ribbon =) it is more than a yard normally but for a buck you can get really pretty ribbon and at ac moore every once and a while they have dollar bags of ribbon in their dollar section up front who's up for starting a ribbon swap?? =)
you could check your local library the one near me always has books for sale. some days like 25 cents a book sometimes a dollar to fill a whole plastic bag (like the wal-mart/ grocery store kind) and if your just gonna tear em' apart they might work for ya' =)
