Hi ho… Stamping Bella Here..LOL (said in Kermit D. Frog’s voice.. I bet you are all doing it now..bWaHahahaha)

So I shared a picture yesterday of what I am going through.. All for the sake of da children.. LOL.. and you think they appreciate having there MAMA close to them?  Hand toting their HOT lunches to school, picking them up etc…????  Yup.. they sure do.  And I finally feel at “peace”.. with where I am.  Where I am in terms of being a mama.. in terms of being an entrepreneur.. in terms of being a wife, a friend and an artist.  FINALLY.  I swear, this 40 thing is turning out to be a GOOD thing. Now the only bases I need to cover is exercise and weight loss… and yess I will get there at some point.   So there you have it.. a candid shot of da BELLA.  I do want to share more here.. and I will.  Cuz I am FORTY.. and I CAN..LOL

Another point to mention is that we are TRYING our BESTEST to process your orders as quickly as possible.. but the rubbah is now in 14 rooms and we are trying to arrange and organize as quickly as possible… so please bear with us .. things should be smooooth sailing after next week!

Oh and anothAH thing..LOL..  Instagram.  What can I say.  I am in LOVE with this website/application.. dunno what you call it.  It is such a warm, amazing community.  Unlike Facebook which to me is a bit sterile.  Unlike Twitter where you know people are SHOVING as many words as they can in a little text box.  Instagram represents who you are.. what you do during the day.. your art.. your habits..your home.. etc.. it makes you get to know the people you are following.  I have met MANY wonderful people there, and we all support each other.. it’s amazing.  I urge you to join.. and follow the people you are interested in following.. just to get a little snapshot of their lives.. it makes them human to you.  REALLY.  GO DO IT. NOW.  k?

Oh and speaking of next week.. In the midst of this chaos, I decided to release some MAJORLY gorgeous images… (probably by next friday)… Until then, we will be doing some sneaky peeky’s showing you the goodness.. so keep coming back ya hear?  and maybe say hi.. I like when da sistahs say hi.  hmph.

OK so now let’s discuss some winnah’s from last week’s bellarific friday challenge shall we?

Hiya sistahs,

I KNEW I would get your attention!  I need your help.  I have my children thinking, ryan thinking, me thinking and now I want to have you thinking… k?  Ready for my question?

As I mentioned, I am redoing my website.. giving the old one a BIG HEAVE HO..LOL (I like the words HEAVE HO)..

I would LOVE to see which websites inspire you.. which elements of certain websites make you happy.  I have an ideaR in my head of how I want the website to look.. but would love it if you had some favorite websites (not necessarily stamping websites) that you would share with me..and why you love them so much.. a specific design?  A certain function it has?  a colour?

Now second of all, I need your help.  I am looking for a “tag line” to go under STAMPING BELLA.. something clever.. something CURRENT.. something CATCHY as I am redesigning my logo.  My brain is fried.. I have had a few ideas but would love to hear yours.. so for instance, these are a few I was thinking of but they are just so “blah”

Stamping bella: where ink meets paper

stamping bella : where RUBBAH meets PAYPAH (lol)

Stamping Bella: Unleash your creativity

stamping Bella: it’s MAGICAL

stamping bella:  JUST.  PLAIN. COOL

LOL.. see? I’m DRYYYYYY

So I need your help!  Anybody have any ideas?  And if I use your ideaR, I will give you a $50 in Bella Buckeroonis…  SO comment away.. not just once.. as the muse hits you.. you can comment a kajillion times 🙂

Can’t wait to see your ideas!

Ok now down to da nitty gritty

Lindabella and Paulabella will be taking a hiatus for a while.. I think I worked them too hard..LOL.. either that or I SMELLLL.. I am hoping it is neither!  But I do understand how hard it is to balance full time work and a full time hobby and I will miss them both so much you have no idea.  Words CANNOT explain the void in my heart not having them here with me right now.  This will, of course NEVER affect our closeness nor our deep friendship.. we have learned to separate business and pleasure and the visits and closeness will NEVER EVER go on hiatus.  They are both stuck with SMELLY me for the rest of their days! LOL.  But let’s hope they rest up, quit their full time jobs and come back SOONER rather than later..!  Paula and Linda.. I LOVE YOU both SOOO MUCH!!!
