Did you ever belong to a ribbon club? I belonged to 4. I have so much nice ribbon but so much ugly stuff too.
Did you fall for the washi trend? I did get quite a few but not tons.
Was there something since the washi rush that I am not aware of? I can't remember.

I never belonged to a ribbon club but I sure do have a ton of ribbon. I rarely used it too because I was always saving it for something special. Washi is still in, right? I sure hope so because I have bought a little bit of that too. But not too much. Just an itty bit.

I have both a ton or ribbon and a ton of fiber left. I still use both, but I have to remind myself to use it.

Oh boy, I still have a ton of fibres...they are on my next cull list! Most of the ribbon I have left is Websters or similar so still very usable. I will admit to having purchased a *few* rolls of washi tape

I never did the ribbon clubs but I've done sewing for most of my life so I had a good stash of ribbons before the trend started. I actually pulled out some ribbon and lace over the weekend to include on the project I am currently working on.

I never did ribbon clubs but I have a ton of it. And washi tape. Don't use ribbon much anymore but I love washi tape - better start using some of it!.

I still use my fibers and ribbons! I have a little washi that I like using.
i don't follow a lot of the trends, I guess...

I have fibres, ribbon & washi. Definitely not as much as some people, but enough. I still like all 3 but don't use them as often as I should.
Did wood veneers make their debut before or after washi?

I have some fibers and a bunch of ribbon. I need to use more of it. When my daughter let me put her hair in pigtails, it was perfect because I always had the right color to match her outfit. Now it's hardly ever getting used. I do love my washi. I've stopped buying it though. I have enough colors and patterns. You get so much it will be a miracle if I ever use any of it up!

I have plenty of ribbon which I still use, mostly on cards but I really wish I never bought fibers.......twine is so much better. I have some washi love to look at it not so great at using it....

I never belonged to a ribbon club but have plenty of ribbon and fibers left. I remember BG had the coolest fibers!
I haven't really jumped on the washi wagon - I have maybe 5 spools and have never used it on a layout.
I think wood veneers came next maybe? Not too sure.

I too have a ton of fibers left. No clue what to do with them….. Also I never picked up on the washi trend, but my scrappy friends think I did because every time they send me scrappy things, theres always washi tape included. I kinda hate the stuff… I will never give up ribbon though.

I have both ribbon and fibres, from time to time I think it is time to purge the fibres, I never use them anymore. But what if they come back in? Or what if I need that one certain fibre for something?
I have a ton of ribbon but I still use it on cards so that is not going anywhere.

I never joined a ribbon club but I have plenty of Making Memories ribbons. I have yet to use them on a layout. I have a lot of fibers too. I only have two washi tapes but I use it for my planner instead of scrapbooks.

I didn't join the ribbon club, but certainly have my fair share of ribbon. Fibers on the other hand, never for into them. Washi, I have a bunch and use pretty regularly.

I had/have a ton of fibers, ribbon, twines and washi tape. I've gotten rid of most of the fibres - just kept a few basic ones for tags (which I never use). I keep trying to cull the ribbon down -- I've got it down to several boxes and several large 31 bags. I did allow my dd to decorate her back pack with ribbon numerous times (without cringing). Now I use it to wrap presents. Twine - I only bought about a dozen large rolls. I use that - on cards, scrapbooking and sometimes presents.
Washi tape is the bomb. I bought a lot (in a short period of time) and now give myself permission to use it all over my house. I actually rarely use it for scrapbooking and cards. I use it on my calendars to mark when people are gone on a trip (me mostly so I don't get the - I didn't know you were gone this weekend - comments). I use it all all all the time to mark leftovers for the frig and freezer. Washi and a sharpie are my friends. I have a dish of washi in the kitchen (duplicates) and everything that needs to get marked, gets washi. It's really helping with my hoard supply!

Great idea - using washi on the calendar!
More than once I plan a trip, draw a line thru the days we'll be away and then it changes and I have this big crossed out squiggly thing. I hate it! Now I can simply remove it!

I've purged most of my fibers, but I'm still hanging onto my ribbon. I need to make an effort to use it more. Trying not to get too much washi, but I can see the same pattern emerging! LOL!

I still have an organizer filled with fibers that I will likely never use. As for ribbon, I have a lot but I use it for cards and also actually use it for gift wrapping. Never joined a club but my ribbon weakness is buying 15-50 yard rolls of gorgeous May Arts ribbons.
As far as washi, I like the idea but so many of them don't stay down well and it aggravates me to have to use adhesive to secure adhesive tape.

I have a ton of it all. Good ideas for using the washi. I need to try to go through my ribbon & get rid of the stuff I will never use.

I still have some fibers and tons of ribbon. Plus a case full of washi. I still enjoy it and use it though not nearly fast enough!

I never got into the fiber trend, thank goodness! I do have a TON of ribbon though. I do use it for wrapping gifts and sewing (my favorite has been to make little taggie blankets for new baby gifts) and on tags for gift bags, etc. I try to make myself use it bc I have so much!
I love washi, too. I have about 10-15 rolls, nothing like some people but it's a good size collection for me. I use it on PL pages a lot but also to wrap gifts. And I let my toddler play with it. He loves to rip and stick. Since it's not super tacky I let him. And I give him a roll I don't like too much. Plus the stuff lasts forever!

I have tons of fiber and ribbon and washi. I think washi is still in but bakers twine is becoming more common on layouts Ive noticed.

We used to do fiber swaps and I had a good amount from those, but recently purged and donated them. I have a bit of ribbon and washi, not a ton of either.
I can see wood veneers or flair taking their place...super popular, everyone collects and then never ends up using their stash because they might run out (guilty!)

I have a ribbon store in my closet. I might have belonged to several ribbon sub clubs.
I might still order from the ribbon jar just to get pretty ribbons in the mail.
Some would say I have a ribbon problem. I'm still in the denial stage.

Yeah baker's twine too. Forgot about that. I have about 1" of it. Yes a foot. No more luckily!
I have about 10,000 miles of linen thread and I use it all the time. Love that stuff and it is very hard to find. I got it from Amazon a few years ago.
