Creative Prompt #212: Ribbon

This prompt is a bit of self indulgence. I won 4 ribbons at the County Fair, which is held this past week in our county. I was amazed and awed that I had won the first one I saw, then my eyes must have been bugging out of my head as I visited each of the pieces I had entered and saw ribbons on all. So, ribbon is the word for the week. I can’t wait to see your responses.
