Hiya sistahs!

I was wondering if there is an AWARD for the slackiest blog writer in the world of blogs and if so, I think I would win

I am soo sorry!! I PLOMISE I will get bettah!! PLOMISE! BELLA’S HONOR! it’s been soooo crazy around here as we are planning for SCRAPFEST which is going to be AMAZING!  We have great make n’ takes prepared and we are SOOO excited!  So if you plan on coming, PLEASE come by and say hello!  You bettah or else I will be GROWLY.. and you no wanna da bella to be GROWLY do ya? LOL

I have a SAAAADDD announcement to make…  Joannabella will be stepping down from her post as Bellarific babe.  She had to make some mighty tough decisions and really had to be a GROWN UP.  What’s up wit dat?  LOL.. I totally understand and sometimes I am put in the same position and it’s all about priorities and children and life and work and  and and.. so Joanne, I must tell you from ME.. from my heart.. that I will personally miss you on the team.. you have become a very instrumental part of the team by organizing us, whipping us into shape, producing beautiful cards.. hmph… getting a little TEARY.. so we wish Joannabella lots of luck and want her to find her “place” and her groove and she is such a strong little thing that she will persevere! MWAH Joannabella.

Here is our sketch for the week.  Let’s see what da BABES and da SISTAHOOD came up with. (I can assure you it is pure yumminess)

Joannabella promised that even though she will step down from her post, she will always be a BELLA cheerleadah so here is her card celebrating her cheeriness with a TURTLE TOT CHEERLEADER

Ok, now how’s DAT for DA SISTAHOOD?!  wow!… I have this feeling that I am missing someone.. if I am, please email me and I will post!  and i apologize

I swear this post was started at 9am and then everything broke loose! Donna (my UPS lady who every customer here knows by name..LOL)  arrived with a MAJOR Tim holtz shipment.. there was fighting and tugging and pulling hair and YANKING.. it was UGLY sistahs! And then, my internet went down… OMG.. a nightmare.  but HERE I AM.. and THERE YOU ARE.. and Bellarific is posted and I so hope you enjoy

**CORRECTED** Next week’s CHALLENGE?  “GETTING HITCHED” or ANNIVERSARY or a SHOWER card!

Yup! Simply BELLARIFIC!  It’s almost 18 degrees here (time to remove my snowsuit..LOL) and for my American sistahs that is 65 degrees! I hate to tell you that it is warmer here than when I went to Florida..LOL.

If anyone has seen my desk lately (OY YOY) they must come back TODAY to take a look at it.  It should be a MONUMENT.  Dena sneakily cleaned it cuz she couldn’t take it.  I, on the other hand, ENJOY and LOVE living in CHAOS..LOL … but I kinda like this neat desk right now!

I also wanted to thank our SISTAHS for making last week’s release SOOO SUCCESSFUL!  It’s been crazy around here and we are kinda buried so bear with us please!  and just because you were so kind with that release, I have another surprise up my sleeve.. you just wait!!
