OOPSIE.. and a MYSTERY SOLVED!

Ok so yesterday , our “ANYTHING GOES TUESDAY” has been “skipped”.. lol.. I mean, how can you start a weekly ‘thang and not have a NAMMMMMMMMMMMMME for it??? which brings me to the next part of this email.

I LOOOVED everyone’s suggestions.. they were alll SOOOOO VERRRY GOOOD and clevah and brilliant.. just like a true SISTAH!

So we decided to go with TOTALLY TERRIFIC TOOSDAYS.  Dee!! you won!  please email me your information at emily@stampingbella.com  and we will send out the embossing plates for you!

And now for another story….

Something VEhEhEhErrry strange has been happening at bella headquarters.. VEHHHERRY Strange.

Wanna hear my story???  Well, even if you don’t you have no choice.  LOL.. I haven’t had a story in a while.  (note to self.. add more boring stories to entertain da sistahs)

So we get the mail a couple of days ago and I receive this card.. this is the beginning of the story… This was an original of course as I wet my finger and rubbed on the colored pencil and black ink and a little came off.. signed by the wonderful illustrator CHRISTY CROLL (aka TIDDLYINKS).. I was so excited for this birthday card cuz A) this is how she sees me B) I be skinny in this image C) i be veryyyy sexy.  I was thinking to myself.. “self, this is a gorgeous image but I no have  a stamp for this…WEIRD”..

The next day, I get these… hmmmmm.. first one from PAULA..  and I am thinking.. SHE LOOKS LIKE ME (from the waist up).. and I say WHAT IS GOING ON??????  and then I open another envie.. from

and this envie contained KARENABELLA’s card… HMMMMM I say

the next day I got another envelope..LOL.. HMMMMM squared from KIMMIEBELLA

Now I am convinced something is going on…LOL (I know I am a smidge (love that word) slow).. I call Nickabella and ask what is going on?? I am getting these gorgeous card with a STUNNING character (if i do say so myself..LOL) and I don’t even have this stamp?!?!?!  So nickabella laughed at me and said that Christy was up to something..LOL.. she had planned with Nicky and Shannan a little surprise by providing these images and to send them to me in a card..OMG.. I had to email  Christy and ask her if she was NUTS?!  And she just said she loooooved me.  And I SOOOO LOVE HER!! Thank you all so much for making this such a surpRIZE…!!

So then I get MORE MAIL…

AMYRYSAVYbella made a stunning card! notice MY crown..LOL

and then THIS from LINDABELLA

and this from my PINKY DINKY DOOOOOOO including a piece ‘o’ cake without calories that we can share 🙂

so whaddya think about my surprise?? OMG.. I was SHOCKED!!
