But I do understand your need to step back and try and get some time for yourself, your two delicious kids, and of course that naughty Ryan :) You were always an oasis in the middle of a cloudy day and Bella Land will be truely missed by everyone who ever entered the doors. What shall I do?

I hope to see more Vlogging and creative output from that twisted and warped mind of yours, so I too can copy :) I know whatever your mind decides to do in the future, will be gold, like everything you touch and I shall always follow you like the loyal Bella fan ♥ ♥

They are just so pretty to look at and maybe one day I will actually get to use them all. Lol. For now I’ll continue to be a collector :)

Cherished really did bring about a cherished Relationship with you and your ladies. I can’t wait to see where this new adventure takes you.

Been hesitating because it would be so emotional. I get to the end and see Pinky’s comments and bawl like a baby. My husband thinks I’m crazy…. Not truly understanding the sistahhood! Lol. Thanks for all the happy memories at the store! We will make new ones in new ways!

So happy that you will be able to be with your family more. And that you will be creating and blogging more!

Oxoxoxoxo

That frame you made me is following me everywhere I go. Don’t think that this is the end, sistah.. this is the beginning.. and why should we so formally meet in Bellaland when we can have a slumber party in da BELLA HOUSE! We started our friendship with you saying you would squish your face on our window.. and you ended it that way.. Now I am heaving and crying and I am SADDDDD… I am always there for you Pinky Dinky DOO.. Our friendship transcends Bellaland!
I will continue to inspire and to PUSH you.. I will continue to FORCE you to enjoy the journey and create new ones..
I really truly love you.
Em

I loved coming to Bella Land every time I made a trip to Toronto. I loved getting on the train knowing that I would spend some time at the store with Laura when she came all the way from Texas. Giggling with Paula and Linda when they could join us. Chatting with Helen and Dina. Pulling out my pink mojo wig to make you laugh. Ahhh the memories. (wiping a tear). The poem that I wrote for you (wayyyy back) truly says it all. Go read it again. Totally true. Bella Land is a magical place where great, forever friendships were formed. We owe you the world for that.

Now that I have swallowed the Gulp. I can stand up and cheer for you. You are an amazing woman, who has built an amazing company and who will continue to do amazing things. I will be a Sistah cheerleader forever.

If on my next visit to Toronto you see some crazy lady wearing a pink wig with her face pressed to the glass of your art studio window you had better let me in!

I love you dear Em. You mean the world to me. You have made me laugh when I was having dark days. You inspire me to get out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait to see what is around the corner for you. I am SOOOOO happy Stamping Bella is still only a mouse click away.

Forever, your “Pinky Dinky Doo”

I just KNOW that this evolution will be just as successful as everything you’ve done so far, Emily. Big hugs, sistah, you rock! Hope you’ll rock us even more in this new adventure we’re going into with you :-) lol

That’s why I will miss the retail store. Helen and Dena are the best. Everyone helped me ’cause I didn’t know what I was doing. I think I bought the majority of my copics from your store, and I learned to use them at the store. Because of Bella land when I come home, I can make cards, mised media, and smash. the majority of my stamps are Bella’s, and will continue to be so. I always wondered how you could do it all, the store, distribution, family and friends! I am happy for you, and you’ll still hear from me (I can be a pest)! Bellaland was the happiest place on earth for me! We all have to make decisions that will make us happy, and I am happy for you, and wish all the good things in life to come your way! I am so grateful to know you.
