And a BIG shoot out to Emily who actually answers her own phones at Stamping Bella! LOL! I had to call to add to my order (of course) and who did I get the pleasure with speaking with???…non other then the Queen Bella herself, Em! Anyway, thanks Em for chatting with this crazy Minnesota girl who loves all of your stamps! Hopefully I didn’t sound too crazy over the phone! LOL! I’ll keep sending my local Minnesotan Bella lovers your way (yeah I recuit/enable for you, hehe)! Thanks again and my order should be here anyday now, I can’t wait! =)

This challenge was BY FAR my favorite, all the way from the scarves used for inspiration to each & EVERY one of the responses send in. The colors are the best!
