It has been crazy busy around here and haven’t had a chance to do much but work 🙁 but here I AMMMM!! with a VERY FuUnny BELLA-esque story.. SO I thought I would share 🙂

Yesterday, Nicky, Dena and I went on an adventure.. an adventure to one of our distributors to meet other retailers and basically product knowledge.  Now that I am more involved in scrapbooking, I am really trying to learn more about it.. to read more, study, play, dabble, find out more about myself in terms of journalling etc.. a little bit of an self-expressive journey “so to speak”..

Anyway we walk into the warehouse to the usual greeting “BELLLLLA” and I grab a cart (of course, I need to shop).  Now the cart is one of these industrial two tiered carts with a long handle which basically steers the cart.. it steers the two front wheels basically… so nicky and dena look at me and whisper under their breaths to not use that cart as the wheels look “wobbly”.  UMMM do you think I listened to them?  Nope.. I am my old bella stubborn self (need to explore this “quality” in my journey of self expression..LOL).. so I proceed to steer the cart FULL of goodies and sure enough, we hear a CRASH.. and a BANG and I am standing there with a cart HANDLE.  NO CART.  CART COLLAPSED.  I WAS SOOOOOO embarassed and I think Dena and Nicky wanted to hide and admit that they had no CLUE who i was.  HMPH… everyone took a peeky at DA BELLA with a HANDLE in her HAND.. but they quickly forgot as I joked around and tried my best to ahem “change the subject”.. Same thing happened at CHA that I really didn’t want to talk about but I think I HAVE to now.. so I can get all my baggage off my chest (LOL) and start new…

When Nicky and I were at CHA we bought this BEEEYOOOOOTIFUL ribbon (will be posting shortly).. we were having a blast (as usual) picking colors and textures.. OMG.. YUMMMALISH.. so ANYWAY.. I end up leaning on one of the plastic displays joking around with one of the employees at the booth and what do you think happened?  BASICALLY a WHOLE WALL of ribbon came CRASHING to the floor.. the plastic trays broke, the spools were in the middle of the rows .. I was ducking so that no one would spot DA ACCIDENT PRONED BELLA.. the owner of the company just stared at me (thank goodness I placed a big ordah :)) and claimed that the booth cost him $35k (which I believe..LOL) so I remembered seeing a plastic display booth and quickly whipped out my map to tell them which booth would lend them what..LOL.. all in all, we became close friends and they WON the cha AWARD of the show!! so there you go.. maybe it was a GOOD thing that I destroyed their booth… LOL

SO that’s my story sistah.. Lots of stuff going on.. posted some new goodies in the what’s new section and the ribbon is going up tooooooo and maybe a coupla images cuz I missed you so 🙂  Oh and we are planning a BIG event on stamping bella… not an event per se, but it will be a fun GAME that we can all partake in.. more to come..

mwah to da sistahs who missed me just a little bit 🙂
