A Slightly Strange Question on Michaels Ribbon...

[Macca1111]

I often buy those small $1 ribbon skeins at Michaels, anything I think will be good in the scrapbook. At least a year ago I bought some that looked like hibiscus flowers, in all the colors they had available...I believe they came out with one group of colors originally, and then another group of colors later. I used up the purple and realized that I was totally out - no more extras. I took one like it to the Michaels in Greeley, where the sales lady scanned it and told me not to bother looking because they had been shipped back to the vendor. I'm going to ask at the Michaels here, but I thought someone on here might know the answer too. Who is the vendor? I thought it would be Michaels, since it lists Michaels Stores Inc on the back, but the "brand name" is Dashes, Dots & Checks. When I google I come up with Michaels and people referencing the use of the ribbon, and I had zero luck on ebay. Does anyone know if there's somewhere else I can buy this? Or is this lesson time - if you really like it, buy 4+ at a time? Thanks all!

i have learned that lesson the hard way as well. so i now always buy more than one. i had a project almost done and ran out and went back to find NOTHING.
is there something specific you are looking for to complete something? maybe i have one that you are looking for and I could send it to you??
can you post a pic of it? that would help.

I think I know which ribbon you are talking about - can you post the pic - if I have it I would gladly send it to you!

Yes, it was just about 11 inches that I needed, but also a tinge of wishing that I had bought more of all of them, because I've obviously used them so much. I'll post a pic here in a bit, when I get on my laptop.
ETA: Nevermind, my transfer isn't working. I'll have to post the picture later.

I just wanted to thank both of you for offering to help me out! Since I've been staring at it the last week, I finally figured out a way to just use what I have left, and it looks pretty nice. I'll post the picture of the ribbon anyway, just in case you're curious. Again, thanks for the offers, I really appreciate it!

Well, now you've got me curious - let's see a photo of your "work around"!

I think I have that ribbon in green and turquoise - it looks so familiar!

How did I not get any of that ribbon?
