Now that the HWC items have been announced/available on PWS, we know that the ribbon stencils are available this month.

This set was a HWC item a couple of years ago and didn't sell very well (at least for me). But you can market them to your customers who are involved in other causes. Just because the stencils themselves are pink doesn't mean that you have to make the ribbons pink. ;)

The stencils can be used to decorate baked goods for charity bake sales for any cause. Know someone who raises money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation or organizations that support US troops overseas? They can use yellow frosting/sugar. Heart disease or AIDS? Use red. General cancer causes? Lavender.

Re: StencilsAlzheimer's is purple. There is no end to the list of causes you can use them for. I even bought at the supermarket today a ribbon cookie cutter to have. I told people about the stencils when we sold them last time and sold a few. I definately will have to plug that again.
