Hiya!  Hope you had a great week 🙂  .. we have been deluged with SNOW.. and ICE.. and FREEZING COLD!  I am so hoping that you are warmer wherever you are 🙂

There will be NEW rules to Bellarific Friday.. We will no longer be giving a prize for “COMMENTAYTIN'” on the blog AND we will only give ONE prize of $50  to ONE winnah at the end of the month.  We will do a roundup post with all contributors and then put it in a hat and pick a winnah!  If you contribute 4 (maximum 1/week)  times, you get your name put in the hat 4 times.  Sound fair?   ANOTHER new rule is that ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE CURRENT STAMPS that are available on the website.  So before you make your card, please go to the website and click the name in the SEARCH bar on the top right of our home page please.  Using  discontinued stamps just creates frustration as it is not available any longer 🙁

OK so let’s discuss winnahs from our last entry
