I don’t think she expected this..LOL. Jimafella came for lunch and little did he know he would be stuck packaging..LOL.. I think I see a little drool. And Susan has become our houseguest too as she has devoted her last week to helping da Bella when she coulda been LOUNGING…LOL. And We had Shelleybella and Lisabella and Sylviabella coming as well.. so BIG heartful thank you to them and everyone who has felt badly for us..LOL!
Other than working on saturday, Paulabella and I did art. MADE art. TALKED about art. DREAMED (or is it dreamt??) about ART… And I really need to share what has been inspiring me lately.
As a business owner, I have always PROMISED myself I would lead my company with INTEGRITY, RESPECT and a lot of KARMA.. I vowed to help any other company I believe in. So with that I would like you to meet CHRISTY TOMLINSON and her SHE ART CLASS which REopens in APRIL.
I would recommend RUNNING to sign up. She is an absolute AMAZING woman and teaches a PHENOM class. She has this amazing aura about her and has inspired me to no end.. Here are some samples of what I have concocted (lol) from her class! have I mentioned that i LOVE her? LOL
I have incorporated my stamps into there.. on the house canvas you should see MY LAUGHTER definition block… which leads me to my next little HINT…. I am not sure why all of my images are coming out so TEENY TINY… but you will see SOMEWHERE on this page a few new stamps…. they are ECLECTIC stamps.. they are AMAZING stamps…
you will DIE with this new MIXED MEDIA collection created by someone very close to me which makes them mean EVEN more.. Someone who understands MIXED MEDIA to it’s fullest and her stamps will be AMAZING!!! Not only will her collection be featured at SCRAPFEST but they will also be included amongst PHENOMENAL NEW IMAGES…. YOU will FAINT when you see what is coming… FIRST WEEK OF APRIL sistahs.. you will see it all!!!

Hiya sistahs!! I hope you had a PHENOM weekend! I was VEhERRY busy cutting rubbah.. it’s been so busy around bellaland since CHA. We are on a majorly tight shipping schedule cuz we are shipping to ARCHIVER’s! Yup you heard me correctly.. I have a new BFF at Archivers who I love dearly and am so excited about this opportunity to ship to 44 stores!! So basically, the next two weeks I will be buried under rubbah.. I sat at my kitchen table yesterday with my kidlets cutting and packaging and I went to my friends’ house for supPah on Saturday night and it was so funny.. I sat there with my pile o’ rubbah cutting.. my kids were flitting back and forth around me and the other kids at the house were MYSTIFIED at what I was doing… so they ask “*ahem* Em, what the HECK are you doing?”.. and my kids just look at them like it’s normal and say.. “she’s cutting rubber”.. their eyes were like “DUH”.. don’t YOUR parents cut rubbah? LOL.. I was laughing my head off.. oh what is normal to some….
So while I was cutting for 12 hours at the table yesterday, my kids were playing MADLIBS.. remember those??? If you don’t have them, I recommend you purchase them PRONTO.. cuz they kept us all busy.. the tv didn’t even go on!
so that was my weekend. What did YOU do?
I promised to post a pic of my new TATTOOs.. and here they are (still healing)
Yup.. I do believe in Karma. Firmly. It may take a while til it happens but it does. The top symbol is aHEART infinity symbol.. the hearts symbolize my 2 children and my eternal love for them and the Karma below it also follows the shape of the infinity symbol (what goes around comes around).. so that’s that.
Already have my next one designed :).. just call me Kat von D. LOL

Hiya sistahs,
I had my lalalala day last Friday with my friend Galit, and I was very tempted and did in fact buy the CUTEST, BUBBLIEST, YUMMIEST looking Fuji polaroidy (is that a word? LOL) camera.. I just couldn’t resist.. and boy did I have an ideaR to go with it.
so my idea was to start another journal (of course).. you don’t have to start a new one.. you can continue in the one you are using now.. and I decided to take pictures .. random instant pictures throughout the week and journal about them in my “MOLEY” (that’s what Dena and I call our Moleskine journals).. I think that photos are so important in journaling.. I mean nothing better than capturing a moment, right? So this is a type of journaling when I am not in the mood to HAUL.. and I mean HAUL my supplies out, this is a fun way to just sit and write what you felt in that picture.. what about the picture made you TAKE that picture..etc..
So now my new thing is that I NEED another tattoo.. yup I know.. I am CRAZY.. but I reHeally want one.. and that is the basis for my entry below. Dena’s friend Gina has a GORGEOUS tattoo right in between the thumb and pointy fingah.. you will see in the picture below.
just some inspiration for a snowy Wednesday
mwah to da sistahs who lovey da tattoos and da MOLEYS
