Good morning sistahs!  It’s been a long week.  I received a phone call from my best friend in Montreal (my home town) that her father was not doing well.  He has bravely battled cancer for the past 2 years.  I received the fateful phone call on Monday morning that he passed away. 

Ryan and I almost immediately boarded a plane and went to offer our respect and true condolences to our “father figure”, Danny.  It was very emotional for me and I am still grieving , “seeing” him wherever I go. I firmly believe he is at peace and now I must worry about the close knit family who surrounded him.  My love and my heart and my sympathy goes out to them.

 

Now this is really a “prepost” to my post to come.. I just wanted my sistahs to know that I AM here and working away.  The cruise preparation has overtaken “bellaland” and that is our focus, cutting and preparing and wanting to make this the most exciting trip EVAH!

this is our ORGANIZED office right now

 

But of course in my “travels” I have found a PHENOMENAL new artist to add to our list of talents.. she compliments our line SO WELL, you will see what I mean once I release a little later on.  I have also found some amazing embellishments in my travels which I will post a little later on.

I am hoping you saw some new images I posted in the whats new section including “swirly hills”.. which is one of my favorites.. it could make you a simple and beautiful card in minutes!

 

Enjoy and stay tuned sistahs
