We tie a little bag of candy to each ribbon and take one down every day. I did this as a little girl and my mom made me one when we got married so it is one of our family traditions now!

We are going to copy your envelope idea and fill them up tonight for FHE. Thanks for the idea and I can't wait to steal some more of them as well.
