Sistahs,

Today is the day that I have been sooo excited about… For many reasons.. First of all, my creative juices have been FLOWING and I have had a resurgence or a new spark in me.. can’t really explain.. On one of my many late nights surfing, researching, scoping, I stumbled upon VOL. 25..aka. Jessica Rose.. and it was love at first sight.  Jessica is an amazing talented phenom SISTAH!  We have a wonderful rapport and her ideas on her own are BRILLIANT.. !  We also work together and understand each other so well that when I open one of her pieces, i SQUEAL with delight.. we also made a little deal that since we are 3 hours apart she usually sends me an image so that  when I wake up in the morning I get a little treat :).. and boy is it a treat!  You can find all of Jessica’s goodies at www.vol25.com.. her work is printed on a wonderful canvas and I have to tell you I ordered TONS for my house… and a few originals.. shhh…. You can also read about Jessica’s daily adventures here.  There is another secret here… yes, something that has been in development for some time and is being worked on as we speak.. it is an exciting thing.. a wonderful thing… its a scrapping thing… yes, you guessed it.. Stamping Bella is opening another shop called SCRAPPING bella… scrapping bella has a target date of opening on Dec. 1st.. so wish us luck!  Jessica will be furnishing a lot of the stamps for scrapbooking and I think it will be a wonderful addition!  YOU THINKY?  YOU LIKEY THE IDEA?  I am going to add one teaser for what is to come in terms of scrapbooking… ok maybe 2.. s’aright?

Edited to Add:  I have started dabbling in scrapbooking and I have noticed a lack of journaling blocks.. funky ones.. shapely ones.. cutesy ones.. larger stamps to fit on scrapbook pages.. I had an interesting conversation with CARMEN  my lovely sistah in the Netherlands.. and she told me that she calls scrapbooking a “LIFESTYLE”.. when I heard that, something clicked.. I can’t explain it.. and then I did a little research and realized that not only was there a lack of journaling blocks but a lack of items to put on your scrapbook pages to create a type of legacy..  a message from me to you.. a message regarding the “feelings” one has in the picture.. I want my kids to open up my scrapbook and say.. OMG that is SOOO mom.. or was she really feeling or thinking that?  More emotional so to speak..TO me, a picture is worth a thousand words but the actual word is worth MORE.. does that make sense? i hopey it does! (lol on the hopey)

Here is a little bit about Jessica by Jessica

I enjoy cooking. Although I admit to not being THE greatest cook.

You may find me curled up on the couch, enjoying a huge bowl of Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream. mMmM

I am also mommy to two sweet as sugar little girls, 4 and 3 mos. I’m also a wife to an amazingly sweet husband of 5 years.

I worked at a chevrolet dealership for 3 years and am proud to recognize the year and make of most vehicles.

I believe that sleeping in, should be considered somewhat of a sport. It does take training to master, especially when a baby is introduced into your “scheduled” life.

I enjoy capturing life’s (the mundane, and not so mundane) moments with my 10mp sony a-100.

We own a house built in 1892. While I absolutely adore the age of our home, with all its character, I would love to one day build our own home.

I am now aunt to three adorable little girls. One right here in Prosser with us, another in Oklahoma, and another in California. Both are too many miles away from me, and I do not get to see them near enough.

Someday I would like to own a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback, or a Mach1.

My hopes is that at least one person will connect with each piece of art I create.

 

 

 

 

 

So this is it in a nutshell.
