I so miss her!  and Linda tomorrow?? I am SPOILED!

I really appreciate all the personal emails and comments on my last post..  I tried to make Bellaland an extension of your home and I succeeded.  And THAT makes me feel good.  Now my blog will replace bellaland, I promise to furnish it with overstuffed couches and chairs.. always have my espresso machine on.. tea kettle..  have some crafting and stamping mags available.. and we can just chat.  Feel free to paint some paintings for our walls.. make some cards to put on the mantle.. and we are good to go!  k?  Promise?

Now let’s discuss some GORGEOUSNESS shall we?

Actually first, some WINNAHS! (you know most people would have deleted the last line and just begin with this line but I was too lazy..LOL)

Ok for today’s sneak peek I chose another Uptownie.. only because I love them so much… and this image just makes me think of what great friends I have and how they are there for me at a drop of a dime (I really don’t know what that means)… this image just puts the feelings one has about a good good friend.. and just makes you feel warm and fuzzy.. the position of the heads, the position of their arms.. how close they are on the bench.. I ADORE this image.

meet uptown girls BELINDA and BERNADETTE the BENCH BUDDIES

I hope you love them as much as I do.. and I hope you have a friend you can share this image with or at least a friend that reminds you of this image 🙂

it’s a celebration in da BELLA’s house!   My little teeny tiny baby is turning 7 today.. Can you believe it?? 7!  SEVEN.. seven… SeVeN… s-e-v-e-n.

Is she not GORGEOUS?  LOL.. yes I know I am her mother but seriously 🙂

I wanted to wish my dear “FREE SPIRIT” a wonderful amazing phenomenal birthday.  She is kind and sweet and understands the meaning of family and how to treat other people.. PLEASE DON’T CHANGE WHEN YOU ARE 13 little girl..LOL..  She is funny and edgy.. and really marches to the beat of her own drum.. and I admire that about her.

She can also be a little goofy

so I had to hijack bellarific friday to wish her a wonderful and happy 7th birthday and hope all her dreams come true

mwah

see you tomorrow!
