WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistahs!  Sorry I have been MIA… it has been crazy with our travels to Novi Michigan (remind me to tell you about our makeup adventure).. we met some sistahs which was AMAZING, saw some goodies and did a lot of shopping 🙂 (shhhhh don’t tell Ryan).

First of all I am in the midst of updating my calendar here  .  Since we have opened our new scramping room (scrapbook/stamping) we have decided that we have to change things on the retail side.  You will be HAPPY to know that as of Sept 1st, we will be OPEN every saturday!!  Can you believe it?  Just check the calendar.. everything should be there.  I am also PROUD to announce Dianne Glass joining our team of instructors.  Dianne has been published many times, has produced a DVD with our very own Nicky and has a unique and beautiful style… anyone who knows Dianne will be thrilled to know she has joined our team 🙂 

Please check the calendar and call us ASAP to book your spot!  Nicky has introduced 2 new classes in September.. All that Sparkles and Washed in Color.. book your spot (I am really not trying to be bossy)

Lots of goodies have been coming to the boooootique.. I will be posting more cuttlebug folders, more new bonbons and other yumalliciousnesses (LOL)

Yup, uh-huh..  we are leaving on Friday morning and coming back on sunday and will enjoy the Heirloom’s rubber stamp and paper arts festival!. Just what I need.. another 5 hour drive.. hmph.. LOL but we will have a blast!  Any other sistahs going?? 

OK back to bidniss…. I have been a posting MANIAC today.. of course there are more embellishments coming but that’s it for the stamps for now.. more to come (of course)

I think I have now launched one of my favorite bellas.. hippiechickabella.  She goes amazingly with the new sentiment “PEACE” And with the already existing “FEELING GROOVY”.. ucchhhh I looovey her.  I also love trickortreatabella.. i love her ‘hat’ .. LOL!

Morning sistahs!

We are just preparing for our vacation to Mont Tremblant, Quebec with the family.  We have not had a vacation in years and years so we are looking forward to it! My girlfriend and her family are there waiting for us and the first question I asked was…. “IS THERE WIRELESSSSSS INTERNET SERVICE????” and she said NO.  Then I asked if there was a mall there.. and she said NOOOOO.. there is NOTHING TO DO BUT RELAX.  I hmphed and I mumphed and I HAROUMPHED… but I have now accepted that I will have to relax and not think.  So I am bringing lots of books with me.. and a sketchbook and card and scrapbook magazines and I will just try to simply chill… but shhhhh.. I still have my blackberry with me which I will kindly put on the “vibrate mode”..LOL..

The contest for the peerless will continue until the 11th and when I get back we will announce!

The bella boutique will be open throughout next week. Tuesday to Friday 10-5 (wednesday will open at 12:00-5:00) and Dena will still be processing orders and doing her usual wonderful customer service!  Nicky will be in as well teaching and greeting!

I will miss DA SISTAHS sooooo much but there will be lots in store for you when we get back cuz ALL of my CHA deliveries should be coming in!!

Mwah to da sistahs who have WIRELESS
