WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

it’s bellarific friday!

and boy did I have an exciting week! LOL

I went to the hairdresser..LOL.. this is a very big deal in my life.. I am SO TYPE A. can’t sit still so I refuse to go.. until I get ALL grey and can’t take it anymore.. and off I go! So my little Jayden told me that it was her “LIFELONG DREAM” (LOL) to see my hair straight.. so I decided to put my TYPE A on the backburner and go ahead and get it straightened.. not only that, but I got a HUGE blonde streak in the front.. I needed a change can you tell?

So here's my hair straight with the CHUNKY streak :)
So here’s my hair straight with the CHUNKY streak 🙂

when Jayden saw me, she started to cry.  And then she loved it.. and then she said it wasn’t me.. and she wasn’t happy with it.

So I washed it today.. and it’s back to curly.. I have to admit as much as I complain about my curls.. It’s what I am most comfortable with

curly

Another big event this week was Jayden finally got her cast off.. it’s been two months of weekly appointments at the hospital.. it’s been difficult.  And they take the cast off and lo and behold.. INFECTION… so now we are trying to treat that 🙁

here she is.. most of the time with a smile on her face .. here she was very afraid 🙁

a little bit of artsy inspiration :)

Hiya sistahs!

Well I promised to share some of my artsy stuff with you so here it is.. if you follow me in Instagram then you may have seen these 🙂

I LOOOVE collage.. I have said that for a long time but I really do.. I love the act of cutting and sticking.. I can’t explain it… finding the perfect image.. finding “accessory” images.. and putting it all into something new.. it’s SOOO much fun 🙂

I have started a little “gluebook” (a pocket sized moleskine sketchbook -3.5″ x 5″) and I vowed not to use ANY paint in here.. JUST paper… and I am LOVING this project.  L-O-V-I-N-G.  Whenever I need to “decompress”.. I head for this book and just cut and stick.  Am I weird? (ok don’t answer that LOL)

So here are some pages from my new GLOObook. (I like how GLOO looks LOL.. )

I drew her in my sketchbook while watching tv and fell SO in love with her that I cut her out and pasted her in my book

I found her picture from a vintage magazine and fell in love with her expression.. it was kind of how I felt at the moment.. and that's why I tell my story sometimes through vintage images.. sometimes that replaces actual writing for me

Here's a vintage mail inspired page.. with some new scrappy embellishments mixed in.. scrapbook letters, journal card and the cork chevrons.. the rest is vintage :)

Hiya sistahs,

I am so sorry I have been MIA these past couple of weeks.. I have had horrendous headaches which ended up being just muscle pain (thank goodness).. and now have had my first ever series of treatments from a chiropracter.. and I have to say, I feel SO much better.. I thought no one could help me and I was a big skeptic I must admit but I found an amazing chiro who so far has helped me .. so let’s all keep our fingers crossed that my mojo is back and my health is back!!

just received my THIRD replenishment order of our SENIORITAS, so you should be receiving your notifications next week that your goodies are on their way!  thank you so much for your patience and your overwhelming support:)
