Yahoo groups are kind of like this but just lots of e-mails. You send an e-mail with a question or so and someone will answer by responding to your e-mail. The ladies are very helpful but I will warn you that more than half of the content is US based. But sometimes that is OK. You get every e-mail and response. Not like this forum where you have to go and look and only receive e-mails if you have responded to something. But then again I like that sometimes and this seems to work for us here.
Yahoo groups is how Trace and I met. We belong to the same groups.
They do group buys of all sorts of things - postage is sometimes a big expense but if we can't get it here what choice to we have. Some of them do their own prints on ribbons. Exclusive to them. Wendy who runs All About Ribbon has one. All of the ribbon on her website is sold to members cheaper than her website but you have to pay before it is printed. Helps her reach the high minimums.
Go to
www.yahoogroups.com and you can search for bow groups.
