WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

a muchly needed LALALALA day

anybody need one of those? Anybody know what that is? You DEFINITELY KNOW what that is you just didn’t know that it can be CALLED a lalaladay..LOL.. ok you are probably thinking that now, Emily has gone over the edge.. talking all LALALALA ish’.. but I will show you where this comes from…

ONE of my FAVORITEST SWISS sistahs.. she is BRILLIANT.. she is AMAZING.. she is WONDERFULLY PHENOM.. she is a DOLL.. she is sweet and BOY is she talented.. She is definitely a minimalist and everything on her layount counts and tells a story.. You HAVE met her before but when I saw this layout I just had to share. Her name is Severine Di Giacomo.

She uses the Bella  Exclusive DIE

is that CUTE or WHAT?   So upon translation, I figured out that Severine’s lalala day includes hanging out with a favorite girlfriend or  girlfriends.. talking about NONSENSE.. over consuming CAFFEINE.. buying nonsense but having a GREAT LALALA day.  I actually had to email her what was in the picture and she told me they were rings that they bought on their LALALA day.

I need a LALALA day.. i think I just like typing LALALA.. (LOLOL )

I think I need a LALALAL WEEK/MONTH/YEAR..  I need to be SPOILED.. and not worry about the usual stuff.. and talk nonsense with my friends and drink one too many LATTES/MISTOS.. and shop for nonsense.. KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BEAN?  So now This LALALA day is a new BELLA term that I have adopted/stolen from the sweet Severine.  What do my sistah’s call their LALALA days?

What would your day comprise of?

mine would be :

hanging with my friends with no timeline.. don’t have to look at my watch.. won’t be late for pickup/dropoff

a mani/pedi with said friend in the chair next to me

a lunch that is SUPER fattening but does not ad any weight (it’s MY LALALA DAY OK?)

shopping with no budget (LALALALALALALALALALA…lol)

and then going home to a quiet house where I can sprawl on my couch and watch my judge shows with no interruptions

there you have it

mwah to da sistahs who love LALALALA

Art Journaling. My PASSION

Hiya sistahs!  I hope you had a great weekend!  We had a pajama weekend in the bella household.. had two sicklets (= sick kidlets) but got a lot of journaling done.

I know I have shared little snippets of what journaling means to me here and there. I have been journaling for over a year and a half and it has been medicine for my soul.  There are a kajillion different sites/styles to follow and in the end, you end up finding your own.  I LOVE to use my stamps in my pages.. it just makes me happy.. It depends what mood you are in.. you will see as you spend a few minutes every day how much better you will feel.  You can have a journal with inspiration from magazines, ephemera, stamps etc.

Here is one that I did this weekend.. although it was snowing I felt kinda springy!

In this layout I used our new SCRIBBLE garden stamp.. I just stamped it across the page (cathartic in itself) and colored with watercolors.. My dad had called me that fine morning and read me this quote from the newspaper so I had to use it.. it is just so true.. why focus on pettiness when there are more beautiful things to pay attention to 🙂

I used my watercolors and used my black glaze pen for the quote.. to add shine and dimension 🙂

I had so much fun with this page and I will try to share more 🙂 (that is if you would like to see more! LOL)

I will also be carrying more art journaling tools (I LOVE TOOLS).. my favorites.  I hope you try to do a little something for YOU today.. stamp, rip, paint,scribble, doodle.. . Something!  I promise you will love it!

Mwah to da sistahs who scribble
