WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hope you had a GREAT WEEK!  Well today is the last day to take advantage of  THANK YOU HOPPY POPPY at 20% off!  She flew off the shelves this month and cannot wait to see all the creations using that wacky wabbit 🙂

Tomorrow our new banners go live and our new stamp of the month is introduced!  I LOVE THE FIRST OF THE MONTH!  But what I love MORE is…. CRAZY TUESDAY this coming Tuesday! Where we have a 24 hour CUH-RAZY sale of a few selected stampies and offer them at CUHRAZY prices!  So Stay TOONED for TOOSDAY n’k?  (don’t worry, I will remind you LOL)

So tomorrow I am going to my “happy place”… This year I am staying up in Collingwood, Ontario for the whole month of August!  I am so grateful for this month but I just packed my whole studio to bring with me.. (Ryan still doesn’t know what’s going in the car.. LOL I am sure you will hear him from wherever you are once he feasts his eyes on the LOOT).  I will be working every day and keeping in touch with my sistahs..   (I am planning on coloring lots.. and gonna try to learn new techniques to share with all of you… i.e. PLEATS.. my BIGGEST ENEMY! LOL)   you can take THIS sistah out of Bellaland but ya CANNOT take Bellaland out of dis SISTAH.. LOL.. I never take vacations.. I’m ALWAYS plugged in.. 24/7/.
