WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

And I am FEELING GUH-REAT!  How are all my sistahs doing?  I am still going strong on the WHOLE30 way of life and loving every minute of it.. so far down a bit over 18 pounds.  LOVING. IT.  And it seems that WHOLE30 is taking over instagram and lots of social media.  If you are looking to change your way of life, I highly recommend it 🙂 and if you have any questions, just give me a HOLLAH!

My neighbor has also recommended taking WHEATGRASS supplements.. Im on day 2 and already feel some of it’s benefits.  Are there any supplements you take that you swear by?  Would love to hear!

Hiya sistahs,

Hope you had a great week 🙂  We are at 4490 likes on Facebook.. WOOHOO!  So if 10 of you would just “like” stamping bella we can get to 4500.. (yes I have a little OCD.. LOL)..  You should also “like” our page as I try to post photos, I scavenge the net for Sistahs’ cards to inspire.. and have a chance to win $10 in bella bucks if featured!  So if you post your card on Pinterest or Instagram, please use #stampingbella as a tag so I can find them 🙂

I have to work on some 50$ winnahs from the last couple of months so stay tuned for the announcement of the winnahs some time next week!

Hope you had a phenomalish week.  Weather seems to be getting a bit better over here.. hope it’s great wherever you are 🙂

Now for this week’s challenge… to use a SENIORITA on your card or project.   I just love them.. what they stand for, their expression.. ohhh somebody stoppppp me!   So let’s get our creative juices flowing and see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?

Aren’t these amazing?  All different and even if the image is the same, the style is different which gives different “feels” to the card.. that’s what I love so much about being creative 🙂

Now for da sistahood!

I love these cards!!!

Now for next week’s challenge? A SKETCHYPOO!!

Have fun sistahs!  Hope to see your entry by Thursday April 24th!  And see you on Facebook!!

Sooooo?  how was your WEEEEEK?  what have you done????? what have you accomplished????  I constantly feel like I am on a hamster wheel LOL.. just going and going.   I NEED DOWN TIME!!! LOL.  AND my dishwasher broke last week.. and trying to cook paleo and use all your gadgets AND have to hand wash everything?  I wasn’t a very cheerful bella.. let me tell you.  Is it a problem when your kids say “mom why are you always in a bad mood?” LOL… I said I am not in a bad mood, I just simply need a dishwasher LOL.  Oh and your socks picked up off the floor.. OH and clearing the table after yourselves.. Oh I can go on and on sistahs… And if you follow us on facebook I would love for you to participate in my question I posed on my last post.. LOL.. you’ll have to go on to facebook to see it!  I really recommend “liking” us on facebook.. I constantly try to update it with inspiration.. daily nuggets of my life (doesn’t it seem glamorous? LOL).. Oh and we got our new dishwasher delivered today in case you were wondering.. and I am gonna be a HAPPY bella mama starting tomorrow.  (unless the socks are still not picked up and the table not cleared LOL)

Ok back to bellarific friday!

This week’s theme was a sketchypoo.  SO simple yet effective.  Wait til you see the inspiration that comes with it!

Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?

But first I would love to introduce you to our newest baberooni TRACY VALURE.. aka TRACYbella.  And not to be confused with Tracy Macdonald, I have named her TRACYMACABELLA LOL… I’m so clever no?  I found Tracybella’s work on Pinterest.. posted her card on my FB page and saw how many people knew her and loved her.  So I had to love her too.  I just had too.. She was delicious and SOOOO nice and SOOO talented.  SO welcome Tracybella to our ‘nuthouse’/sistahood LOL

I feel so complete sistahs.. Are these not BEEYOOTIFUL?  Every single one of them!!

How has your week been? hmmmm?  tell me! LOL.. I would love to hear 🙂

Well this week for me was VERY productive.. work and cooking.. and cooking and cooking.. and loving every minute of it :).  Went to doctor today to get weighed and it seems that this Paleo/whole30 way of life is agreeing with me :).. I am down 12.5 pounds.. and thrilled about it!!  It’s gonna be a long process but if I can keep this up, I have a great feeling that I will be successful!

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram,  I will show you  some of the things I made this week.. ready?
